Replace RV Refrigerator with Residental Model
For those who have replaced their fridge with a residental model, what model did you use and what was the approximate cost? The fridge I have is a NORCOLD 1200LRMD. Thanks. GM

We bought the Fisher & Paykel RF170BRPX6 (discontinued and replaced with similar model Fisher & Paykel RF170BRPX6N). The fact that it has recessed side-of-door handles made it instrumental for our choice so as to deconflict with the slide-out.
We rid ourselves of the continually problematic since brand new Norcold 1200 series. (I do not want to serve an appliance's needs; I want it to serve mine. I wanted no difference in performance than what we have in our residence.)
The F&P is exemplary; it is an inverter model and uses little electricity. We are not smoke sniffers so we always operate on full hook-ups. With two 24 group 12 volt RV/Marine batteries and a pure sine wave inverter our batteries are at 12.7 volts at the end of a 10 hour drive.
