New Travel Trailer with Residential Refrig.
We were out looking at some new travel trailers tonight and several had 10.7 cu residential refrigerators. I was hoping some of you could provide feedback as to how they like this set up while stayin...

Just something to think about.
I've got one of those big side by side 2 way RV refrigerators in my 15 year old 5th wheel I bought to put on my RV lot for a home base. Anyway, Yesterday the temp went up to the mid 40's, almost 50 degrees. So I figured the frig is on it's last leg. So off to Home Depot to find a residential unit to replace it with. But before I went off to the store I checked the 120 volt heating elements in the frig to make sure one of them hadn't burned out. No, thee both still good. Took an amp reading of the 2 elements, 1.56 amp total. So off to Home Depot I go, found one 10 cubic foot frig that would fit in the opening. Looked at the FLA amps on the spec tag, 1.55 amps. I really couldn't believe it.
Go up this morning, frig temps back down into the refer range. So I'm going to hold off a little longer until the temps here in southern Nevada get below 90 before I have to pull the old unit out. Fingers crossed.
