110v Residential fridge install
Hey Everyone, I finally made up my mind regarding the replacement of my failed 6cu. ft. RV fridge in my little 5er. I decided to go with the Whirlpool model #WRT111SFAW 10.7 cu. ft. "apartment" ...

My 26ft TT HAD a 9.8 cu ft obsolete RV fridge, no suitable DIRECT replacement was available.
GD, it is easier to find a 120V replacement for fridges 9 cf.ft and up, than for 6cf. More choices in residential market. More sense doing it, too, because 10 c.f. 120V are still under $600. Or if it's a 5-er - there is more height then.
A trailer with 6.0-6.3 cf fridge is a different creature. More modifications than you imagine. Not only it won't take anything bigger than 7 cf, but there are height restrictions because converter is -usually - under the fridge. Moving converter to under the stove, lowering the fridge down to the floor, with exterior air intake half-way up - doesn't look good either. Not a priority at the moment. No urgency either - I can and did live for weeks without fridge. After furnace will have been replaced with cat heater, and solar expanded, will see what fits in the available space and available energy.
For a boondocker, replacing 12 cf LP fridge with 22cf 120V would mean making generator a very good friend. Very steady friend.
