New fifth wheel refrigerators

DBL Post

The dealers aren't saying the residential fridges will run on batt for three days.

They are saying that once fridge is brought down to set cool temp can maintain some level of cool while not being powered for three days. Which is just a load of garbage. To be true the ambient outside temp would need to be about 50 degrees and you couldn't open the doors for the three days.

It's a simple residential 110 volt fridge. Not a magical cold box. Unplug your home fridge and watch and record how long it stays cold inside.

The drawbacks to a residential fridges in RV's is for all that beautiful cubic feet of space it uses significantly more power. If you dry camp / boondock much get ready for significant capital investment in additional battery and solar charging , generator solutions.

If youre camping from full hookup site to full hookup site then the residential fridge may be an attractive upgrade.

Thanks for infro the one I've been looking at in the last few days only have one battery . I could put in more or I can have the factory put in a ac/ propane refrigerator cause their are time I could be without elec up to a week that's why I'm asking .

Most that have the residential come with 4 6volts

. The new trailers come with just one battery so kinda hard for me to believe one battery will keep it running for three days without solar or running a generator to recharge .

They can but I think that would be the limit even with 4 good 6volt batteries.
