A new trend in RV fridges?

while picking up some odds and ends for our upcoming trip, we poked around in some new trailers for some giggles

fire places and tiny walled off bedrooms? obviously rv designers don't go camping! and loose furniture(dining chairs and mini lazy boy recliners? all with little tie down straps LOL

but we also noticed that fridges are changing. a few trailers had ordinary household fridges, I should have checked to see how they are fastened in! I suspect they weren't

some other trailer had rv type built in fridges but they were 12 volt only, quote: "new 12 v compressor technology" end quote

lets not fool ourselves, those things are done because they are far cheaper. a $100 household fridge in a $35000 travel trailer? no it was not a park model

You are NOT looking at the Trailer full offerings by the various Manufacturers. YES, the residentials INSIDE the trailer AND Motorhomes are secured. You just do not see the mount brackets and screws. The household refers are NOT $100. Where do you get that figure? Most residentials in 5th wheels and Motorhomes are the $800 to $1500 models. As for design changes, THOSE are indeed Customer driven. The OEM's DO listen to customers and if enough state they want certain floorplan/features, the OEM's will incorporate those ideas. Sometimes, those ideas do not translate into more sales of that floorplan and they then drop that floorplan. Doug
