our first Travel trailer came new with a whirlpool residential (can't remember size but wasn't double door), two 12volt wally world batteries and 2000 watt pure sine wave inverter. current TT has rv dometic fridge
you should be good with the 4 6 volts
-loved the storage space of the residential and didn't take as long to cool down. left it running while traveling down the road. 8 to 9 hours at a time on longer trips
-i could go 24 hours easy using the batteries and not drop below 50 percent charge even in hot weather.
-we don't boondock so it worked great for us
-our rv fridge does seem to keep a more constant temperature. 36 in fridge neg 2 in freezer. the residential seemed to have more swings in temps depending on outside temps but nothing major
-overall i've been happy with both. i do like the convenience of running on propane if needed.
I also like the convenience of propane, I could go with a new cooling unit, but the fridge is 24 years old. A new RV fridge is tripple in price as a residential, thats why I'm going with Residential.
price is a part of the equation also. i would not replace my rv fridge with another when it comes time because we don't boondock. i would go residential.
