Question about wiring - About to replace my Norcold DC0051 with a Truckfridge TF65

I bought a Truckfridge TF65 12V DC to replace our old Norcold DC0051 in our 2006 SMB, from what I can see the Norcold is a 12/24V fridge. I assume I can simply wire in the new Truckfridge or will I run into any problems with the voltage, it should be 12V, or?

Just wire it in......unless you have some crazy 24V system to run air conditioning or something (highly unlikely) it's 12V. Do you have a single 12V house battery?

Does the Norcold have a 12v/24V setting? If so, confirm it's on 12V.

If you have a voltmeter, easy enough to check the voltage before connecting, that way you won't have to guess.

We have 2 house batteries who are wired in parallel so should be 12V, but will measure it later to make sure the fridge was running on 12 V before wiring in the new Truckfridge.
