We finally got rid of our RV fridge a few years ago. We measured where the residential would go - height, width AND depth. Then measured the doorway to the RV without a door or hinges on it. We then went to Lowe's and Home Depot and took measurements of the fridges without doors or hinges on them. Found one that would fit all the dimensions. Ordered it to have Lowe's deliver it with the understanding that they will take the old RV one away.
My other half then did all the prep work with pulling the old one out and capping the propane line and moving the outlet for the plug for the new fridge. When Lowe's delivery got there all they had to do was help bring the new one in, which they complained about cause the door just fit the fridge going in. And then to take the old one away which they tried to refuse to do but we had our paperwork which specifically said they would take the RV absorption one away. Abbey then moved everything into position, hooked up the water for the ice machine and plugged it all in and no problems since with it.
So yes there is quite a bit of work to change them out but so worth it in my opinion.
