Has to be a two way fridge, lot of boondocking so residential won’t work.
I suggest you rethink this ! Solar, especially DIY is MUCH more affordable and the benefits of a residential refrigerator are HUGE as your family grows.
Unless you camp in area that have a lot of shade, or camp during the time of year where a furnace needs to run more than just an hour in the AM to knock the chill off, forget propane !
With a 2500W-3000W portable generator, FOUR golf cart batteries and a quality combination inverter, charger, automatic transfer switch and a DC-DC charge for on-the-road charging. Probably have to charge the batteries for an hour or so in the AM and another hour or so before dark.
What exactly are the benefits of a residential fridge when you just use the trailer for vacations? Like I could understand having one if you full time, but otherwise, I don't see the benefit. Someone before has mentioned space... I fit enough food for an 8 day vacation in our RV fridge, with room left over. It also sure would stink to run out of power with a residential fridge with no option to switch to another method (ie propane).
