Fridge, new house fridge vs rebuild old rv fridge

our 15 yr old dometic is working reasonably well, but thinking ahead!! rebuild it or replace it with an inexpensive house fridge which of course is 120 vac only. rv fridge is in great shape cosmetic...

Those older Dometics seem to be better built and may last forever. Personally, I would not touch it.
But if you want to go to electric, there are kits for converting what you have to an AAC or DC compressor based system from JC Refrideration that work great.
