The class A group probably has more experience with this, since the Resi-refers are just now coming to the trailer industry. I am wondering if there are any consistent problems with having this type of refrigerator running on a pure sine invert er in the RV? Does the movement of the RV while the refer is running (going down the highway) cause shortened life of the appliance? It seems the Fivers could have more of an issue with that than the air ride class A type. I have never been a fan of the 12V RV fridge and would love to have the Resi type. So....what are your experiences? Should I opt for the big beautiful Samsung residential fridge in a new Fiver? Would appreciate your knowledge. Thanks!
First, the RV styles these days are 120vac and propane. Ours still works and I have a mod sine inverter supplying it with an automatic circuit, as well. I don't see a need for a pure sine wave model with any of this, including TV's and DVD's and unless one chooses to have a sophisticated ice maker in a residential style fridge. If and when we change over, it will be for one of the smaller economical model fridges that won't require cutting the opening any larger. Also providing space for a pull out pantry of sorts.
