Residential Fridge or Not?
the Wife and I are shopping and we see a lot of fivers with residential Fridges and Inverters in them now. Are they really more prone to breakdown because of the bouncing around in the trailer or it ...

Been Rving since 1968. 9 diff units, only had 1 problem with a RV fridge in that time.
I've had 3 5th wheels with absorption fridges (1996 and 2000 Jayco Designers; 2004 DRV Mobile Suites). The 2000 Jayco's Norcold cooling unit failed within 4 months of delivery; the 2004 DRV's Dometic cooling unit failed within 8 months of delivery. I'm glad your experience has been different.
As I said, I personally know of 2 rigs belonging to friends that have been totaled due to RV fridge fires. That's not info garnered from the internet or the press.
