This is an interesting thread.
I recently finished a 13 day road trip in 95 deg temps and while the DW had the on board fridge loaded too much, the POS Dometic fridge with "thermistor" failed to maintain proper temperatures (never had this issue with my previous Norcold w/ temp control, but I digress). I was (am?) ready to fire the fridge and get something that works but it must fit in the space and match the decor.
Even before I replace the on-board fridge with a "residential" one that fits, the use of a small auxiliary fridge to hold the more perishable items seems like a good idea. I don't typically stay at private parks (RV parking lots) and so far have never used a campsite w/o electricity so putting the small Walmart special outside should not be an issue.
