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.
What? A buisiness tries to keep costs down? Who would have thought?
Reality is this is the advantage of capitalism. The company that doesn't compete will be run out of business by those who are willing.
Being able to put the fridge anywhere without worry about cutting holes in the roof and/or side of the rig is a big advantage and yes, there is a cost to it.
Realisticaly, unless you special order, there will be no option for an absorption fridge and even if you do special order, many are still moving away from offering it as an option.
