Residential fridge is much larger than the Nocold or Domentic 4-door fridges. But as mentioned, they do require multiple batteries and an inverter. Their amperage requirement is not much, but more than the other type.
Residential AC???? I have never seen an rv (except those that are permanently situated at a trailer park) that is equipped with one. I think you are talking about the normal rv AC units that are located on top. Some have heat pumps, some don't. In any case, they are in addition to the normal RV furnace unit...so you have both. The heat pumps work strictly off of 110vac.....not good for boon docking. Of course, the 12vdc fans on the furnace will suck the battery(s) dry pretty quickly.
Hope this helps
