Our new unit has the residential fridge. We are very happy with it. It has a lot more room, an icemaker and just seems to outperform an RV fridge in just about every way. We park our RV at our home and it is always plugged in so that isn't an issue for us and I cannot address the inverter power questions. I will however say that the residential fridge does stay cold much longer than an RV fridge proably due to better insulation and build quality.


One of the biggest advantages of residential fridge would be inexpensive replacement costs and ease of installation. It would also be much easier to find someone to work on it as any home appliance tech can work on them.


The one downside I see is if your the true boondocking type of camper. If you frequently park for extended periods of time in areas that do not have electricity then that will be an issue particularly if you don't have a generator.Folks that are serious about off the grid camping are going to want the RV dual fuel fridges...
