This is the first RV we've had that came with a residential style fridge. It's HUGE! Built-in ice maker/dispenser. What I really like is that it's self defrosting. The fridge in my last class A was an absorption style, and I'd have to manually defrost it every few months in humid FL.
We don't really boondock, so the power consumption is reasonable when parked for a period of hours, using an 1800W PSW inverter and 4 golf cart batteries.
I've just recently opted to leave it running on the inverter constantly when traveling. That way the fridge never loses power when shutting down the generator when connecting to shore power. It also will keep the fridge running if shore power fails, which has happened a few times in my travels.
Just be sure to use bungees or equivalent to secure the doors. They likely won't latch like the RV style units.
