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...

After reading this summary, it appears that residential fridges @ 100ah are a stretch for those who don't like running a generator or lack an array of batteries with solar panels. I understand that many take great pride in their generator, so I can see how a residential fridge is virtually a 'must have'.
A viable alternative is a small 'beer fridge' for items that are not suitable for a gas fridge (can't think what those are but I gather they are common). These fridges consume as little as 20ah. But where's the fun in that? LOL.
