Resi fridges in more and more units

My TT came with a resi fridge with a dedicated inverter. I've been really happy with it, I run 2 batteries, and I've spent 10 hours on the road, and the batteries were still almost fully charged. I'm not sure how much power the actually get through the little wire to the 7 pin connector. We don't boondock, so it has never been an issue.

My favorite thing about it is how quickly it cools. I have to keep it at a storage facility, and I can turn the inverter on when I go to pick it up, and by the time I hook up,and get home, it is almost freezing in the freezer.

One bit of advice, it make sure you turn off the inverter when you drop it off at storage, it will ruin the batteries. don't ask how I know :)

Do you have some examples of fridge brand/models that you are referring to for this power consumption?

I don't know about mfr's refrigs but all my trailers I have rebuilt I put in regular refrigs. Better to pay $300 for one than $800 for a three way. Stays cold after 8 hours of traveling with an inverter.
