I would never get the residential fridge. I dont believe the manufacturers intended them to be installed in rv's. With the residential refrig, you have to cable the three or four doors/drawers down each time you travel. I don't know how a service tech could ever repair some of these units as I have seen them installed with islands right in front, peninsula's right in front. I would not want to move cabinetry/ disconnect plumbing and wiring if the refrig needed to be pulled out of the cabinet for a repair. Your rv has to be equipped with two batteries to keep the refrig running on an extended time disconnected from 50 amp service, that makes me uncomfortable as we take big long road trips.
Montana and a bunch of other manufacturers are now offering an 18 cu ft Norcold RV refrig which runs electric or propane. It's a large four door side by side unit, some come with an ice maker as well. Very sharp unit with plenty of shelves and interior storage.
I will stick with Norcold or Dometic for my rv refrigerator needs. I have never had a problem with either, and I have owned four fifth wheels over the last 16 years.
