Residential fridge and dry camping

Sorry if this is an old topic. I didn't find too much on a search.
With the big push (it seems) for residential refrigerators in new Class A's, I wonder what some are experiencing when camping without electric hook-ups.

It was such an issue for us, we opted to special order a dual power traditional (gas/electric) unit. I say "issue", but really a potential issue I wasn't willing to take a gamble on.

Our dealer said Winnebago was one of the few manufacturer's remaining who would offer the dual power fridge as an option. Not sure if I was being fed a line.

RV fridges are still found in lower end units and especially in cheap TT's. I imagine with a new special order, you can have most anything you want, except that many Coaches are without propane these days, as well.
Longevity of use on an inverter, depends on battery bank size, so depends, but there's always the genset for charging them up on a daily basis and even two batteries should last all night. Not with an RV fridge though and even though we run ours on the inverter, when traveling without the gen running, we use propane for extended periods.
