You have a point. But I suspect that RV models are no more durable than Residential. Only time will tell for sure.
However, there are some other reasons to go Residential:
They perform better.
Can get them with ice makers.
Wider variety of models.
Less expensive to replace.
Very easy to find a replacement and nearly always one that will work in stock at any big box store.
Easy to find someone to work on them.
Work on 110 volt and don't put a strain on your 12volt system.
In fact about the ONLY advantage that we know for sure the RV fridges have is they will run on propane if you boondock.
I guess this is going back to the question: what do you use your camper for. Are you a frequent boondocker or a full timer that never boondocks.
