Residential refrigerator

I have a resi fridge in my TT and it works very nicely. I agree with JFNM if your going to have lots of hookups and power then a resi fridge will be fine. I personally don't boon dock any so a resi fridge is no problem to me. I go about a month between trips with no power to the TT in between. It usually takes about 4 hours for the fridge to get to temp. Then usually about 20 hours to lose it's temp and freezer start thawing out.

I have gone 20 hours without power to the refer. Everything was still frozen.

Yes we open for breakfast, just don't "surf" the refer. Your other questions cannot be answered with any intelligence because of the unknowns

I have had both and both worked fine but regretfully we boondock quite a bit and the residential fridge did suck up our batteries quite a bit. So we personally prefer gas/electric units just because of that. But if you don't boondock a lot definitely prefer residential units.

Yes, I am glad I have it. It is a Samsung RF24FSEDBSR 23 cu. ft. Counter Depth 4-Door. It works fabulously - normally zero and 37 degrees (freezer/fridge). Mine is very rarely without power as I have lots of solar and a big lithium battery (and inverter) - I boondock nearly all the time. The only times it is without power is when doing some sort of battery/electrical system maintenance. It stays cold during these short outages but, with the internal temperatures on the door, you can certainly seeing it slowly warming up. Purely a guess but I would think mine would have 4-5 hours before the freezer got up to near 32 degrees if the doors are kept closed. I would not recommend residential unless you always have hookups or are able to power it from the coach (solar, battery, generator).
