Refrigerator Change in a Class A Gasser

OK, we are discussing changing out our Dometic 2862 for an all electric. One option is the guy who does the conversion in Indiana (JC Refeigeration I believe) and I spoke with him. $750 for him to do it. I just need to get the MH to him. Wife does not like that idea, and wants a new unit. So we've been looking at residential units, and there are a few out there - BUT - folks in the last 2 campgrounds have warned us that the residential units are not made to bounce around in an RV, and we need to look at the Norcold, Dometic Nova Kool, or other all electric units.

Question - who has made the change in their gassers (DP's ride much smoother, so I don't know if it's a fair comparison) and is happy with the performance and longevity, and what did you install.

Everybody has addressed the reliability issue which I totally agree with. But nobody has addressed the $750 price tag. That is way too much. Getting the old one out just requires some disassembly and a couple of strong backs. Cap the gas line move some electrical around and maybe do some cabinet work. I paid a company in Yuma to remove the old one and get the new residential through the door for $200. Used the existing 110 volt outlet and finished the trim out when I got home.
