RV Refrigerator
I am a mechanical engineering graduate student and I am involved in a team project that is learning about the absorption refrigerator which is the type of refrigerator most likely in your mobile home....

Our refrigerator died at about 5 years. Purchased a new one. Wish we had purchased a residential refrigerator. Absorption refrigerators don't work well when the ambient temperature is high. Also doesn't keep food as cold or freeze as well as residential refrigerator. Has to be operated close to level or damage occurs. Opening and closing the doors too often increases the inside temperature and it takes a long time to bring it back down to "normal" When we put something not already chilled in the refrigerator, we wait until night when the ambient temperature is lower to put the items in the refrigerator.
Pros: Runs on propane when you dry camp and therefore doesn't deplete batteries.
