For those that claim 15 years on a RV fridge ,is that 24/7 ? , or only vacation use?
I seriously doubt a RV fridge would last 4 years in continous use.
Snowbirds get 5-6 years on average,then another 2500 camping bucks.
In our first TT, the fridge ran 24/7 for the first 10 years we lived in it and then 24/7 for 6 months of the year for the next 10 years. The second TT, was 24/7 for 6 months of the year, fire it up in early spring and shut it down in late September.
Maybe I would not be so biased against residential fridges if ours had not been a lemon from the word go, but we wasted a lot of money on food because we never knew when it was going to work and when it would decide to not work. A very annoying situation at best and a real PITA at worst.
