What year?
What model?

Absorption fridges have both an AC outlet and 12 VDC coming into the back of the fridge. Residential fridges may or may not have the DC wiring terminated in the fridge compartment.

Even if the DC wiring is there it is unlikely to be of a large enough gauge to power a 12 VDC fridge as an absorption fridge just needs a few DC amps for the controller.

Any Miramar made after 2015 will have residential fridge and the fridge will be 120 volt AC only. Only a few new, small coaches are wired for 12 volt DC fridges (13 AWG wire). Those of us that have RV fridges have 12 volt circuit boards than draw about 1.5 amps DC (16 AWG wire) and run on propane or 120 Volt AC (360 watt heater). Thor MC usually puts RV fridges in coaches of 31 ft or shorter. Thor MC coaches longer than 31 ft will have usually a residential fridge.
