A new trend in RV fridges?

Seems like several here are into the survival mode rather than common RVing. I can think on no one I know that really cares about boondocking more than overnight or maybe a few days. I admit that at 72 I really like many parks and certainly think that casinos are more fun then watching a sunset in the desert,been there done that.

There's a lot of places inbetween FHU RV parks and boondocking. And some folks like a little of everything.

X2 on the last two sentences above - they have it right.

As for us, we had/have to watch our money ... so after spending all that money for an RV we wanted one that didn't limit us to any particular style or type of camping. This means not being married to a power pole, not being married to the sun, not being married to moderate weather, not being married to higher altitudes, not being married to the desert sun, not being married to wooded areas, not being married to campground showers/toilets, and not being married to pull-through or otherwise large campsites.

To permit the above flexibility, complete self-containment in a small package is required and a willingness to employ it to the fullest whenever required. We have camped:

- In Walmart parking lots
- In a church parking lot
- In a small business parking lot
- On private farms
- At a Port of Entry
- Next to rivers with and without hook-ups
- Next to lakes with and without hook-ups
- In RV resorts with pools and hot tubs and tennis courts
- In the desert in campgrounds and not in campgrounds
- In a motel parking lot
- In restaurant parking lots
- In a campground parking lot because the campground was full
- In the sun, under trees, and under cloudy skies
- In all kinds of non-hookup public campsites

When in non-hookup campsites we use our inside and outside showers, the built-in generator, the main engine alternator, an electric heater if needed, the coach and cab air conditioners, and propane powered appliances -> which includes a two-way 120V AC/propane refrigerator that actually works well in all conditions. The two-way refrigerator has five levels of cooling we can control and we have never had to defrost it. In the interest of full discloser - we are not full-timers so our RV does not have to function as our stick-house on wheels month after month. However, our stick-house is similar to our RV in that it can be self-contained until the backup generator's fuel runs out.

IAW, we try not to have our RV define - within reason - when/where/how we have to camp.
