I guess it depends a lot on what type of travelling and camping you do.
In my case, when we are travelling, we tend to be on the road most days. Now, the roads we travel on tend not to be nice and flat. As far as I know, the 3 way fridges only work efficiently (or "at all") when they are sitting dead flat/level. This is not a situation that the fridge is likely to encounter when travelling and switched onto 12 volts.
On the other hand, for those people who tend to travel to a
campsite, set-up and then stay in one place for a week or so, then the 3 way fridge is probably the better proposition...... provided the ambient temp is not too high (although I acknowledge that the newer versions of the 3 ways are apparently much better at coping with extreme temps).
The only other thing that used to peeve us with our 3 way camper fridge, was the hit and miss nature of the temp control. Sometimes the contents would be barely chilled at all, whilst on other occasions the bloody thing worked too
well and the lettuce and tomatoes etc were stuffed from being frozen.
