Two different animals here. The residential refrigerators being fitted in new RVs such as ours are just what the name says - full size residential refrigerator/freezers. Our 3 door Whirlpool (side-by-side fridge, drawer freezer) in the RV is larger than our side-by-side fridge/freezer at home!
Replacement of an existing adsorption RV refrigerator is a different story. Some individuals have found some smaller residential type (compressor cooling) refrigerators that are or are close to a slide-in fit. That becomes a matter of getting the dimensions of your existing RV fridge and doing some searching, either for fridges that will fit or for people who have changed out the same RV fridge for a residential and can provide the info.
