After band aiding a norcold 1210 frig for several months we made the move to a Samsung 18 cu ft vs the 12 cu ft old one. you may ask the cost well it was less than putting a new cooling unit on the old frig, a no brainer. If your around the St Augustine, FL area Ocean Grove RV on Hwy 1 south of the city did a great job. It took them only 5-6 hours, one day in and out. We love it. :C

On another board a poster measured his Samsung RF 197 power with a Kill A Watt and found that it uses 1820 watts daily. That translates to about 150AH from the battery which can be significant for dry camping and is a huge drain on the common 4x GC 460AH battery bank. For dry camping, recharging via alternator, gen or solar has to be considered. And the battery bank capacity is a factor.

Many campers are satisfied with the refer conversion and don’t make any additional equipment changes and rely on utility power, gen or driving/alternator.

We have a 2000 watt inverter in our coach. Four 6 volt batteries. Rv place said that should be fine but just in case when traveling I set the generator to auto and when it reaches a certain level it comes on and rechanges the batteries.

A residential fridge is 120V only....
What I post is my 2 cents and nothing more. Please don't read anything into my post that's not there. If you disagree, that's OK.
Can't we all just get along?

Did the install include more batteries and an inverter or just the refrigerator install?
