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.





I have to respectfully disagree with the above statement.


Dometic RM1350S RV Refrig. 13.5 cu.ft. 231 lbs.

Samsung RT21M6213SG/AA Res. Refrig 21 cu.ft. 198.4 lbs.

There are alot of reasons to have one or the other but added weight of the residential is not one of them.


I switched from the Dometic to the Samsung last year.
No way would I go back to an gas absorption RV refrigerator.
