Residential refrigerators are made to sit in one place, not bounce around on the road. That being said, apparently there is not a very high failure rate due to the bouncing, but I am unwilling to take the chance.
I do quite a bit of boondocking, and I do not have an inverter (and don't want one). I run the generator as little as I can get by with.
I once walked away from a very nice little Dodge-Based Class C (which was exactly what I wanted at the time) because somebody installed a residential frig.
As has been previously stated, "To each his own". There is NO "right" or "wrong" about the issue, it is purely personal preference.
