"Keeping your food safe at the correct temperature as you travel is going to be your biggest problem with a res fridge. Unless you are living in your RV in one place and have permanent electric hook-up."
This is a false statement. There's no reason a residential refrigerator can't maintain the same temperature hooked up, running on inverter, or running on generator. Ours has never varied, and we check it since it has an on-door display. In fact, it works better than our Norcold 1200 ever did. The only problem is that I sprained my wrist trying to scoop the rock-hard ice cream.
