To us, "boondocking" is 2 to 5 days with no generator or solar and maybe even wimpy old batteries.

I'm thinking the fancy "residential refrigerators" (with dedicated converter) are a bad idea for this type of use pattern.

(Yeah, often times the furnace is involved).

Thoughts? Experiences?

Thanks.

But from the tone of your post, it looks like you have a chip on your shoulder against folks using home fridges..

Why such hate?

I don't have anything against you or others wasting your money on RV fridges that are many times more expensive and less reliable (IE fancy control boards and kludgy, flammable cooling units) and STILL require a 12V battery to power the electronics.. You are more than welcome to continue on with what you have.
