The rental house's 14 CF Samsung freon refrigerator freezer, all 14 CF plus freezer takes a greedy 157 watts to run it. At least that's what the EER sticker says. Twice as big, kept food in the 30's on a 117F day freezer managed to climb to a finger searing 2F.
There is a serious problem with energy waste with RV refrigerators. Couple that with disposal issues because of short longevity and indeed they deserve the "Brown" award "Green" is probably way off in the future.
Show me what in RV is build with energy saving in mind?
I just put insulating foam on furnace cover, where hot air from the exchanger was push against sheet metal cover exposed to the outside air.
Next project is electric element in water heater. The heater has Styrofoam insulation, but around plumbing there is a hole 3x8" with no insulation. So when you run AC, it is picking up the 130F air at WH tank. Then you need to run extra heat for water to stay hot.
Battery box on my camper is "cold" with slots venting to the outside. Yet, there is no insulation on plastic box, so another big heat exchange.
My camper is relatively well insulated with 1.25" of styrofoam, but check the R value on 3/4" of fiberglass some RV have.
