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! ...

I will be glad to trade you my 3-way propane fridge for a modern Danfoss compressor based fridge.
Where can we meet?
You are right, a cheap dorm-style fridge is junk and unuseable in an RV other than while hooked to shore, but a $1,000 plus Danfoss compressor fridge (dometic, arb, etc) paired with 200 watts or so of solar and a couple good batteries is gold, and does not have to be perfectly level when parked.
I love the efficient of propane, but hate to be slave to always having to worry about level, and having to have those two big vent holes on the camper which are potential sources of water leaks and bugs etc, and always having the propane on…

I guess the "weekend" campers differ somewhat from my RVing. We could've had a choice of 3 different Frigs in our TT but opted for the smallest of the 3. We tend to eat fresh food so the food is cycled through our frig daily. Secondly we are on the road for many months of the year and didn't want to give up cabinet space for our specialty foods that didn't require a frig. Thirdly, The park we stay at in the winter months offers free ice, all you want any time day of night. Lastly there are foods like soups, lamp stew, and many others that we store in freezer bags and stack them like cards in our freezer along side of a frozen thanksgiving turkey dinner to a lot of Polish goodies no available out west or in much of the south. When we leave home you couldn't put a pea in the space left over.
Do your own thing but a large frig for us is a home not in our trailer.
