Residential Fridges

[Mile_High]

I remember oohing and aahing when I first saw a residential fridge in a motorhome, but now that I am learning the logistics it takes to keep that running on the road, how are they working out for you folks that have used them for a few years after having the 3-way gas type?

Any issues with parking in parking lots all day while you visit a national park? Park in front of the house for a few days loading or unloading? Are they working out or do you cuss them sometimes?

We have a residential refrigerator for more than a year, now. We would not want to go back to the absorption type.

We dry camp frequently, usually weekends (3 days) for dog agility trials. Twice this past July, we were off grid for 5 days, in the Rockies. We had no problem with the refrigerator.

We have 6 agm 12-volt house batteries and a 2800-watt inverter.

We do use our generator, usually a couple hours in the morning and a couple of hours in the evening. One time in each of the 5-day periods mentioned above we did not run the generator in the morning because we were in a hurry to leave for a day trip.
