We are thinking of replacing our double door Norcold with a residential refrigerator. Do you need an inverter and extra batteries if you are always plugged in or have the generator running?
We did not have our residential refer hooked up to the inverter on our old coach, and most times we didn't run the genny when traveling down the road. The refer would be fine for 4 hours or so until our lunch stop as long as we limited opening the doors during that time. We would run the genny during a 30-minute lunch stop, so the refer cooled some during that time. We are like you and never boondock, so except for the few hours traveling, we are hooked to shore power, even in storage.
