We are continuing the research towards the eventual Norcold change out.My questions for those who have made the change, or purchased new with a residential refer are.How are they holding up? Would you do it again? Is the Samsung 197 about the only choice or are there others. They are obviously not built for the rough service seen on our RVs.Lets hear what you have to sayDave

Six years and 78K Gator chasin' miles on our factory installed Whirlpool side by side...no problems. :) :)

I have seen some Frigidaire refers in newer coaches...

I have had a LG 19 cubic foot French door refrigerator for about a year now. LOVE IT!!!Runs flawlessly off my modified inverter with no temp change to refrig or freezer while driving for several hours. Lots of ice cubes, cold milk, and ice cream that isn't melted. Wish I had done it sooner.

The difference between our old Norcold and the Samsung we bought is night and day. Night and day. I never want another Norcold in my RV again. Ever.

16 years and 250,000 miles on a General Electric residential double door in the bus. We will replace it for a newer quieter one soon, but not because of reliability. On the road or boondocking, runs on a modified sine wave inverter.

Good news so far thanks everyone.

On our coach, the Samsung RF197 will practically slide right. Just need to remove the pots and pans drawer below the Norcold.

My plan is to also use the existing inverter and batteries. I was mostly concerned about the long term rocking and rolling on the compressor.
