We have already had to replace the Dometic 13cu' fridge, at no small expense. The Dometic was as much as more than 3 Samsung domestic fridges that would fit.
Nothing wrong with a domestic fridge provided you have the pure sinewave inverter & the battery capacity to power it. The inverter is a one time cost. Increasing battery bank size & somewhere to put it is another matter.
food does not instantly thaw & spoil the moment power is taken from the fridge. Keep the door closed & it can go for hours without risk of spoilage.
Builders, particularly those building big up market units, are installing residential fridges & pitifully small water tanks in trailers they think their owners will never dry camp in. They will hop from one FHU resort to another.
Sorry, some of us like to dry camp in comfort. That comfort includes a big fridge, big battery bank & big water capacity.
