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...

"down home".....If you were to buy a new coach today, it would probably come with a 20-23 cubic foot refer, 6-8 batteries and a Pure Sine Wave inverter. When building new, they have the ability to design the size and opening that will fit just about any refer.
The people who replace the Norcold refers, are using smaller ones that will fit in the Norcold opening with some trimming in the height of the opening only. The Samsung refers have been the choice of most because they fit, don't require a Pure Sine Wave inverter and can run off of 4 batteries like yours. Those that add more batteries and solar are probably dry camping more than others and are looking for a little extra power. There is a Monaco forum where several people have installed the Samsung RF197 and they're all using just four batteries and the inverter that came with the coach.
