Does anyone have a suggestion for a two or three way fridge to replace the icebox in my 60's trailer?

You really need to think realistically about how you will be using the camper. If you like the idea of "boon-docking"(meaning camping in remote areas without hookups to 110VAC) then a two/three way is the correct choice. They are very pricey, but well worth it.
If you plan on staying in campgrounds where shore power is available, you might be better off with just a small 110VAC dorm-style refrigerator. Either way, you will probably need to use a cooler as well since these small reefers are so tiny and do not stay cold for long if the power source craps out. I like our Norcold 3 way which we only use on Propane or 110VAC. 12 VDC can be an awful drain on your batteries. We freeze plastic juice containers in the Norcold and use them like block ice in coolers when traveling. Never have to buy ice...so nice.

Forgot to mention that you can run on propane even while on the road (except in tunnels). Once in awhile the highway turbulence will blow out the flame, but it has only happened to us a couple of times. They use a minimal amount of propane, just to keep a pilot light going. Really efficient.

Thanks for yhe info. even when we stay at a rv park we like to use a gas fridge, save a little money. Great idea about the frozen orange juice containers. Thanks.
