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?

I have a residential replacement. Run it off-grid with solar and inverter. If you only camp at facilities with electrical available, you won't need an inverter or bigger battery banks. Plug in before travels to cool the fridge and contents, drive to destination without opening the door, and connect to power.
What JPeyton references regarding inversion and appliances is apt. Get a quality inverter and size it above the operating draw. My original inverter was not up to the task but the Xantrex Prowatt 1000 handles the startup and operating draw without a hiccup. I also have two banks of batteries, solar, and all is installed with large wire.
