Another residential fridge question

So as not to hijack another post, I have this question....

Would residential refrigerator not be too heavy in a slide?

    They made the 5er, they should know.Facts are always better than personal opinions.
  • Our 2015 Montana 3711fl has the Samsung in the kitchen slide. My only question is why do they not have it so the ice maker will work? I can only assume the engineering team went to lunch when it came to hooking it up as it should be.:)
  • You can find the weights of the various RV fridges on the respective manufacturers websites. Same goes for the residential units.
    We replaced a 4 door Norcold with a 18 cu ft Samsung common in many RVs today and the weight was within a few pounds.
  • I guess it depends on the difference in weight between the RV absorption fridge and the residential fridge and if (assuming the residential fridge IS heavier, which is not a given) the slideout is designed to handle the weight.

    We have no problem at all with the large residential fridge in our road side kitchen slide.
