Replacing a Norcold fridge
Has anyone replaced their Norcold fridge with a residential type? If so what are some things that need to be considered or upgraded first?

Happy trails.
We have a residential fridge and we hate it. It has not worked right since the warranty ran out. We are going back to an RV fridge as soon as we can afford it. That miserable residential fridge has burned up 2 1000 watt inverters and 1 1500 watt. Never again for us.
Inverters (like dc fluorescent light ballasts) are complicated electronics (they have to create oscillations from no oscillations). Always asking for trouble if you rely on them too much no matter what AC appliance you plug into them. To make them handle LRA surges (high amps at compressor start up, etc) is asking a lot.
