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
"
$100 household fridge in a $35000 travel trailer" is the only way to go because they are very energy efficient, really cold, very reliable, and very safe (not fire starters like the industry has been installing). Remember all the recalls, class action suits and settlements because of these fires.
Solar panel, controller, and battery technology has come along ways and now makes residential fridges a very practical choice. If I were to replace my fridge, it will only be a residential one.
