I won't buy another trailer with the fridge in the slide. They have to be vented out the side, instead of thru the roof, so fans are used to move the air. This is a draw on the battery when no AC is available. Also, the fridge may be a size smaller due to the height limitation.
True there is a fan and it does draw on the battery, however, it only draws when the fridge is cooling (when flame is on). In mild climates, not a huge concern, the fridge stays cooler longer...in really hot climates, a defiant concern, only if you are running off solely 12 volts. Driving down the road, the TV provides my 12 volts, hooked up to shore power, the fridge is on 120 volt power. For me, instead of leaving the fridge on year round, I have to take the extra step to turn it on a couple days ahead of time so it is cold when we get ready to go. Not a huge concern....
My fridge is the same size as my last TH not in a slide.
