One comment about inverters.
MOST residential fridges require Pure Sine Wave (PSW) inverters. Most coaches built in the 2000-2009 time-frame had Modified Sine Wave (MSW) inverters. Most residential fridges and microwaves do not work well on MSW inverters. However, Samsung refrigerators (and certain GE Profile units made by Samsung) use a DC compressor and a power supply to rectify the AC for the compressor. These refrigerators sip power, and work fine on MSW inverters, saving thousands on installation for folks that already have a MSW inverter. They are ideal for RVs, and they are beautiful appliances. The RF197 model Samsung is a great fit for replacing the NOCOLD 1200's.
