Residentail refrigerators in motorhomes
Thinking of replacing our old Dometic refer with a 10 cf residential refrigerator and was wondering if anyone out there has experienced any problems with theirs due the bumping and shaking that occurs...

Manufacturers are installing the residential refrigerators because they are cheaper to buy then the absorption. And IF you have the right inverter and at least six house batteries, it is actually a smart move. But IF you have to upgrade to a pure sine wave inverter and make compartment room for two more batteries, electrician to rewire, carpenter to resize the slot where the new refrigerator is going in. You are probably going to spend double of what a new improved absorption refrigerator would cost.
But they are a lot cheaper. I know that I measured the height of the Samsung versus the Norcold 1200 LRIM and the Samsung is about two inches taller then the Norcold, which means it would not fit because the Norcold is already all the way to the ceiling. And modifying going down would require some serious modification because the furnace is right below the refrigerator.
