Regarding a residential fridg's ability to keep things cold while on the road.
A lot depends on how far you travel in a given day and if you park with power at night (or run genny) Once cold (And if travelign I'd set it a bit extra cold) it should hold for at least 8 hours with the door closed, Likely longer.
In my trailer days I had a small "Dorm/Office" unit. Since I never drove more than 4 hours in any day with it.. I added some straps to tie the door closed when rolling, And plugged it in first think when I parked.. No problems, loved that box.. Sold it to another RVer when I got the "A" with an absorption unit.
Now days I often go many hours without mains power.. And thus the Absorption unit is nice.
