Check out the “RV Nerd” on You Tube where he talks about this in detail as to why gas/elec is going away in the US RV market. He is a large dealer in Michigan who sells many different manufacturers, so it’s safe to say gas/elec is unfortunately going buy-buy.
The only thing safe to say is Josh the RV Nerd works for a large dealer in Michigan and before that he worked for another large dealer in Michigan. He is not a "Dealer", he works for one. It's also safe to say he is wrong with his predictions more often than not. He's a salesperson who happened to become a YouTube Star.
I'll say it again. They're using these 12V fridges as standard because they're cheaper to buy and install and the savings goes straight to the bottom line, Every manufacturer offers a gas/electric option as an upcharge, typically to the tune of $600.00 to $1000.00.
Not totally true. Grand Design has switched over to 12V with no absorption option. You can go to their build site and there's no gas/elec option. Some Forest River products allow the switch. It would take too long to check all mfg but gas/elc is dying with many brand models.
Agree it's a numbers game.
