Refrigerator size question
There are two of us that will be traveling. However, we eat a lot of fresh organic vegetables...we cook from scratch almost every day, so we stock a lot of veggies in the fridge. As we have shoppe...

Gotcha...My 4 door fridge is in a slide, but again, there is an outside vent near the top and one in the bottom, (two vent's), with a very efficient fan blowing on the coils, when on...Again, have never had an issue was just curious. I know some have added a fan or two, mine already had the two vents and a very good fan.

We also have a Norcold 12 cuft 4 door. In a slideout. One upper, one lower vent. Works great. Never a problem. Operates on A/C or gas.
If you do decide to go with a compressor type residential, try to stay within a reasonable size. More for the weight considerations. When full an 18 cuft compressor fridge can get real heavy when bouncing over the road. And if in a slide out, that is another issue.
If you find a trailer with a normal absorption 8-10 cuft, and find that is not enough capacity for you, then go buy a small dorm sized compressor fridge and stick it in the cargo bay. They are light, and can easily be moved in or out depending on your needs.
We sometimes do that when we camp with Grandchildren. We use the Dorm fridge for drinks. And set it near the steps...under the slideout. Keeps our main fridge available for the extra food we need to feed those hungry kids. And keeps them from running inside for a drink. When packing up to go home it goes back into the cargo storage. Weighs about 40 pounds.
When there are just DW and I we leave the dorm fridge at home.
