Best Fridge Type
We have had 2-way and 3-way fridges for years. I need to replace out discontinued Atwood unit that is a headache, and have been reading about the 12V compressor fridges. We are 99% RV Park type folks,...

The propane/electric refrigerators are going away and in just a few years will likely not be available in new RV’s. Norcold has shut down their manufacturing of this type of refrigerator and Dometic will follow. Get used to 12V refrigerators be it good or bad will soon be all you can get.
will be a shame for boondockers. Seems like trailer mfg are assuming everyone camps with at least power hookups. we often camp for two week with NO power, remote water. So far the propane fridge works great for us. Along with some solar the only time we ever need the generator is for a rare day when it is hot enough to want to use the AC.
Other than that solar keeps us charged up enough to still use all the lights we want, microwave for frozen veggies, etc. portable ice maker for drinks, and furnace when needed.
But for those with hookups I agree, a compressor fridge is the way to go. More room, quicker cool down, colder freezer
You have a absorption ice maker?
Other than the people that want new RV every couple years, we should be able to use the absorption fridges we have for a long time. No moving parts, not much to wear out. The one in my camper is over 25, and works fine.
