Yes we use a residential fridge in one of our coaches. The only thing that stinks is that they do not use propane or 12v. HOWEVER, I personally believe that the residential fridge out preforms typical RV fridges... There is just the trade off for propane/12v that stinks. But it will work to answer your question.
Oh yes, we also use a dorm fridge in another coach (pictured below). There is no 12v/propane, but it really works great!
What's the diff between running a fridge on 12vdc or running it with an inverter, except that running it on 12v would require a run of #8awg wire from the batteries and would much rather wire up and use an inverter for this purpose, if I didn't already have one installed.
Fact is, we run our RV unit with an inverter when going down the road and like that a lot better than using propane. Don't use it a lot when sitting still for long periods, as we only have two 6v batteries.
If and when a fridge is needed, I saw one that will fit at HD for less than $300 and give me room to build a slide out pantry alongside it.
