The biggest factor that makes this possible the low energy usage of newer refrigerators compared to the old "gas guzzlers" of a generation ago.
A lot of folks like the residential type since the freezers keep things much colder than the gas RV fridge. Ice cream is actually hard instead of barely frozen.
The cliff notes to the whole thing is if you boon dock much it's probably not for you. If you just travel between electric pedestals, have plenty of batteries, a good inverter and a new fridge it can be pretty cool.
