Best thing we ever did, more room.
You are going to love it.
Your sig says you are full timers. Do you travel a lot? If so, how do you power the fridge when traveling? We are only going to have 2 Trojans, a Honda 2000 gen and an inverter that runs our " electronics center " what do you do about powering the residential fridge when you are on the road for a longer period? We have been having this discussion but DH doesn't think we will have enough battery power since we don't have a battery bank like our old DP.
Thanks in advance
It really depends on your type of travel. Traveling one day at a time should not be a problem traveling without power on the refrigerator.
Yes, we travel frequently. However, we do not boon dock. We are on the road 3-4 hours between campgrounds without power. If you keep the door closed, the refrigerator will hold it's cold just fine.
We know from our life in Florida, with it's frequent storms and power outages, a residential frig will go 24 hours if the doors are not opened.
That is our real world experience. Hope it helps.
