As mentioned, I see a lot of residential refrigerators in new 5th wheels these days and mostly in the middle to higher profile campers. They all should come from the factory with an inverter (or at least the ones I've seen). Not my cup of tea to be honest.
As far as power, I ran with 2 Honda 2000 generators for years and they really worked very well for us. On our new trailer though I wanted to be more "self contained" and, even though the trailer could not be ordered with the gen prep option, I installed an Onan 3600 LP. I would have gone with the larger 5500 but it wouldn't fit in my front compartment. The 3600 will run most everything except 2 A/C's at one time.
Anyway, we love it and it makes it so easy just to push a button rather than getting the generators out and wired up and locked up, etc., especially when we are traveling and want to put our puppy in the trailer with the A/C on while we visit a tourist site or something.
I bought the generator and associated parts (automatic transfer switch, remote on/off switch, etc.) and had a mobile RV service guy who has done other projects for me do the install. it cost about $5,500 total whereas 3 dealers/service shops I got quotes from want upwards $9000!
Very nice install! Would love to have that.
