For fridge AND freezer at the same time you’d need a dual-zone unit like linked below. Alternatively you could actually just buy two fridge/freezer units and set the temperature differently.
The two dual zones I found are,

If space and money were not an issue I would like to have one of those. I just have a Dometic CC-40 fridge/freezer I will run as a fridge but for the price I paid I could’ve bought two, set one up for a freezer, and it would have still been cheaper than a dual zone unit.
I may get at ice maker for frozen smoothies which is one thing I no longer want to live with out. My diet is vegan, almost all fresh produce/fruit with tempeh, and close to zero processed food.
This is my newly installed setup after I just got an inverter and was testing my blender.

If I turn the cooler length wise in the van I could add an ice maker not sure how well it would work in practice. I think I would have to then refrigerate the ice to keep it around or use immediately.

Don’t buy right now. All prices are pretty high. I was about to buy the 65dzus from Dometic couple weeks ago. I checked the chart I had made back in November comparing several fridges and it was about $200 more expensive on amazon now then it was then.Price history for Dometic CFX-65DZ

Freeze it yourself. :) At a few bucks per ice refill, after a while even over a grand worth of fridge/freezer starts making sense.
Although you can get under a grand with a smaller one. https://www.amazon.com/Dometic-CFX65DZ-Electric-Powered-Freezer/dp/B071JSLFKZ/
