Residentail refrigerators in motorhomes

It is true that not everyone uses their motor homes in the same manner nor do all things work for all people. We do not spend a tremendous amount of time off the grid but when we do we find that overnight we just turn the breaker off that feeds the frig (on a circuit by itself from the inverter side) and then in the AM we turn it back on again. We probably run the generator a little in the evening and we are able to maintain our four batteries in pretty good shape. Running down the road the alternator provides plenty of charge to the house batteries so the frig is just doing it's thing and happy. When we are set some place and on a meter for a month this frig uses about 1/3 the electricity the Norcold used and perhaps because it never worked very well we got better results on electric than on propane. We constantly had to throw away veggies and milk as things just did not last long in our unit. Now we have twice the capacity, things last a long time, and being full timers the residential is a tremendous improvement. We also do not live in fear that our Motor Home is going to catch fire and I have the pictures to prove that it indeed tried. So good luck to all safe travels and happy camping.
