Sorry guys... "large motorhomes" are not the center of the RV universe even if we think so in this forum.
There are many of us who like to CAMP not park in a full service parking lot, and many of the high demand areas have no electricity and thankfully strong generator run restrictions. The majority of campers in these parks don't have generators.
I have no doubt a residential fridge is nice if you stay plugged in or "boondock" in the walmart for a night. I'm talking about a week or two off the grid, running the gen maybe three hours total during that time. Yes it can be done quietly with an absorption fridge. Only possible with a good solar powered residential fridge setup.
Solar is tempting so I can reduce that gen time to zero.
So again "Don't bet on absorption fridges being "history" any time soon."
