Residentail refrigerators in motorhomes

I dry camp and camp on 20 amps and sometimes pull out of the garage and do not plug into power for a week on the road. In the Sumer then generator is never off in the winter it is on for about an hour a day in the evening and again in the morning. I do not worry about saving power or whether I have it. I live in the coach hooked up or in a rest stop or off the road near a river the same way. The residential fridge, once you put it in is easy to change out if need be. To each their own but most Foretravel owners are converting. They have 2 or 3 batteries. Some of the early 90s models are adding a second inverter. We ave peope who live all the time off grid with them as well. Each person makes their own decision but the newer cooling units started going bad earlier. I am the moderator on the Foretravel site with 2200 members and we started noticing that new replacement cooling units were not sating as long as the originals. So the trend started to replace the whole unit but the new ones were not a drop in as the dimensions changed. So, the factory started putting in the same residential units they put inthe new coaches and it has taken off from there. They are doing three a week and have a couple guys dedicated to just that and the woodwork required. Nobody has regretted it so far.
