What fits, and still ventilates the condenser coils, preferably without forced air. Thus it might not be residential per se, rather a compressor-evaporator cycle refrigerator designed for mobile or marine use.
Really small compressor fridges, sold for dorm, motel, minibar use, often have about 1/2 the interior volume compared to similar package size absorption units. That's because the refrigeration unit has a minimum package size. Once you get up to 12-16 cu ft (if you have the space) the situation gets better, because the size of the compressor refrigeration unit doesn't grow much as capacity increases.
Most RV manufacturers are putting in Whirlpool or Samsung residential units at 16-18 cu ft, not a typical size for a C motorhome or small travel trailer. If you are trying to replace a 6-12 cu ft RV unit, expect a substantial reduction in interior volume, and you'll be shopping bar or dorm refrigerators, not residential models.
