I can verify (at least on ours) the 12v plug is still present for the Norcold on our 2020 even though we have the Yeti. I can also say now, after having our first season under our belt and planning for our second, the Yeti is an enormous step backwards for NuCamp. We will be getting a Norcold before planning any long trips. Need that space to store food not ice, yup the Yeti is larger at 35L compared to the Norcold at 30L, the Yeti requires you to waste 25-30% of that space on ice, the Norcold requires no ice. So with less volume the Norcold holds a fair bit more, and requires nothing but a charged battery to keep you going for as long as you want. Anything longer than 3 days and the Yeti turns into a watery PIA.
Its a step back until you have a power failure for some reason. I never made sense of carrying an ice chest in the camper. I can’t monitor it or use it back there while traveling and at camp my Yeti becomes a piece of furniture.
I’ve come to think the Roadie 48 Wheeled is the best Yeti for my use, its deeper so even with ice it has plenty of room for stuff.
I can see where both options could work but for me anything that could spoil with power failure goes in the ice chest.

Camper is in storage, guess I could just measure :)

you should look at Rugged road. https://ruggedroadoutdoors.com/collections/coolers
i have had yeti and rugged road. The lightness of rugged road makes it much more user friendly
https://icecofreezer.com/products/21qt-go20-dual-zone-fridge-freezer-white this is what I am looking into, 5 year compressor warranty.
