The RV is not really usable with a non working fridge so putting a WORKING residential fridge in the RV is not going to "harm" the resale value over what a broken RV fridge would do.
Did you forget the third option of installing a working RV fridge?Gdetrailer wrote:
The residential fridge COST LESS THAN A RV FRIDGE and as long as you don't do something stupid the mod is 100pct REVERSIBLE if the next owner really wants a RV fridge.
Exactly the point. If a new buyer wants an RV fridge and has to install one, that RV will have a lower resale value to that buyer.
Let me see, installing a NEW working $1500 RV fridge in a RV that has a resale value of $700??
Yeah, that would really "up the value" of a $700 RV, NOT.
You don't understand it.
If I am selling a RV with broken fridge the PRICE would be LOWERED to reflect the broken fridge (IE figuring that the trailer IS worth less than one with an original working RV fridge).
If I am selling a RV with a WORKING HOME fridge, I SPENT LESS to at least have a working fridge so I can AFFORD to SELL the RV for LESS than if I put a new RV fridge in.. BUT I can sell it for SLIGHTLY more than a RV with a broken RV fridge..
A $300 Home fridge costs LESS than a $1500 new RV fridge so therefore I can afford to offer the RV at a much lower price.
If I am selling a USED RV, I am not going to ever consider spending $1500 for a new RV fridge since to recoup the cost of the new RV fridge I WOULD HAVE TO ASK $1500 MORE than what the RV was worth with a broken fridge.
At least with a working home fridge I only need about $300 over what the RV would be worth with a broken RV fridge to "break even", I can "afford" to be a bit more flexible with the sale price.
I don't as a habit, fix and sell things at a LOSS, that would be stupid and I wouldn't have any money.
Sort of like a business, you can't stay in business for long if you spend more on making a widget then sell it for less than what you have in it.
Basic High School Business and Economics 101 class.. Perhaps you should consider taking a course in it..
