residential refrigerator vs normal RV fridge/freezer

I like a trailer which is on a dealer lot only 30 min. From my house, but it has an upgraded residential refrigerator? I’m told it runs on 110 and 12v inverter. But not propane. I’m skeptical of this...

Residential fridge adds a lot of weight to an RV.

They require a a good sized battery bank, which RV dealers don't provide.... at most, RV dealers will include 2 batteries from what I've seen. That probably isn't enough to run the fridge more than about 12 hours.

If you dry camp, residential fridge will be tough to keep running unless you have a big battery bank, solar and/or generator.

I personally wouldn't want a residential fridge in a TT.
