Residence refrigerator
Has anyone ever tried using a residence refrigerator? If so have you used dry ice for cooling while traveling? Thanks and happy camping

Funny you should mention that. We just recently replaced our Dometic with a Magic Chef 10.1 cu ft residential one. The instructions say to not run it on any kind of inverter. I did a test last week by turning the refrigerator off to see how long it would stay cold. When I turned it off at 12:21pm, the freezer was at 9 degrees and the refrigerator was at 38. When I checked it 4 hrs later the temps were at 42 and 55 degrees. The refrigerator was totally empty so I plan to put frozen ice packs in there and retest today.
We are in the process of replacing our Dometic 8 cu.f.t with a Frigidaire 10 cu ft. I also read in the Magic Chef manual about don't install in RV and don't use a inverter. The Frigidaire forgot to state that in their manual. We will be using the 1000/2000 watt modified sine wave inverter in our trailer that has been running a small 4.3 cu.ft. refer for about three years .
