We replaced our Dometic NDR1062 last year with the Haier 10.2cu ft residential as I had lost all confidence in rv fridges. Our rv fridge would not cool even after several mods, switching to the Amish coils, installing extra fans; etc,etc. The straw that broke the camels back was when our Amish replacement coils sprung a leak after just one yr.
On a side note, how did you secure your residential fridge in the compartment and what, if anything, do you use for keeping the doors close when in transit?
We replaced our Norcold fridge with the same model Haier last fall. I used the original Norcold rear bracket to anchor the rear of the new fridge to the floor, securing it to the fridge with self-drilling sheet metal screws. At the top front, I used two small 'L' brackets, attached to the top of the fridge with 3M automotive trim tape and screwed into the wood frame where the trim would cover them.
To keep the doors secured, I used modified double hung window latches from Home Depot as seen in the photos below:
