Dometic or residential refrigerator?

Do the RV fridges have a certain lifespan? And does it depend on how much it is used? For example, if someone has been living in it full-time, does it shorten the lifespan due to constant use, as opposed to an RV that is used recreationally?

That's a good question. I know of many that have quit that were less than 6 years old in our last 5er group, but it was a mix of use. Some full time and some vacationers. The price of the fridges are grotesque, so many opted for replacing only the cooling unit and others just dumped it in favor of a residential style.
