Residential Refrigerator???

We bought similiar from Lowes and put in the back of our trailer. It works fine for us. The old fridge is now a pantry. We are permanent for now. we will ratchet strap it down if travel with it. It is much more efficient than the rv fridge and bigger. we got a estimate of over 1000 to swap the cooling unit in the rv fridge. maybe later down the road.

The manufacture of this model fridge does not recommend that it be installed in a RV. Here is a link to their manual.
The Lowes 10 cu ft is a good choice. Haier 10.3 fridge.
There is a Whirlpool 10.76 that will fit. You need to watch that door is not mounted next to a wall.

Agree with previous post....we installed a Lowes Haier 10 cf refer and so far we've been very happy with it. Quite a bit more storage and cooling is excellent. I did write about my install so if you want to see what I did check my posts from a few months ago. I will say this, I insulated the entire enclosure, sealing off the outside vents....be sure to vent the hot air with additional fans thru the the roof. The heat does built up behind these residential units, I find myself most times placing a fan on the floor in front of frig to keep the temps down behind refrig....it works quite well. I put a wired thermometer behind fridge so I could keep tract of Temp's.

We got the Magic Chef 10.0 at Home Depot a couple years back. Works great. Would never consider an absorption type fridge again. It fit our old hole almost perfectly (had to do a little trim at top). Never heard of your particular brand, but they are probably all the same.

if you don't dry camp pick whatever you want....keep it simple. for me, if I were to install another refrig it would still be a RV refrig. you can get yours repaired or find a used refirg.

You can still dry camp with a residential, it just takes a bit more planning. With all the talk about gas absorption and fire issues, I feel even better about the residential besides the 300.00 cost compared to the 12-1500.00 price tag.

As I stated in the original post, I'm done playing around with the absorption fridge. It's been nothing but a hassle and a point of concern when it comes to the trailer. Sure, it's nice to be able to have the option of propane. However, when I weigh how often I actually use it on propane and how often I would HAVE to use it on propane...

I'd likely look for an inverter. I'm going to be buying a generator too. Lots of $$ to play with if I don't drop the $1500 on an absorption model.

i bought this one in 2010

No issues with a MSW inverter and the refrigerator?

I've never heard of one. Just remember to have enough of a battery bank to run it.
