This one's a back-of-the-truck model too,  though I have no idea what vintage 
it is.  And the fridge is two-way as well,  normal line power or gas,  but 
not 12 volt.  :-(

That sorta got me too when we had a gas fridge back when I was a kid,  as to 
how heating something could make something else get colder.
It's all a matter of "stuff" absorbing a lot of BTUs when it changes state 
from liquid to gas,  or vice versa.
