One caution just "Popped" UP, something I never thought about till... Well in a manner of speaking it happened to me (I have a standard RV fridge)
THe thread is titled "Replacing a Prosine 2.0"
Your Residential fridges are nice.. Provided the Inverter works.. Mine (inverter) just failed.. Thankfully I have a back up battery charger (Actually I use the other converter as the PRIMARY and the Prosine as the back up .. Long story) but My prosine just died.. So if I Boondock I'm w/o all 120vac less I burn gasoline. at 2.50/gallon/hour.
Doesn't that apply to everything? Your Cummings engine is nice....provided it works! Things fail. However, an inverter failing is not an indication that all inverters fail or are unreliable.
My residential fridge was installed in 1999 and is still running just fine. First on a MSW inverter and now on a TSW inverter. With 20 years fulltiming and 17 year of traveling full time I can tell you that there's really no reason to believe that inverters or household fridges in are RV are anything less than awesome!
