Perhaps if Norcold or Dometic made a decent MODERN fridge the size of the 1200 this discussion would be moot. Many posters forget that the smaller propane fridges work rather well. But once the mfrs. went to the larger units it has become a joke. The cooling units are far too small. They overheat and either failure or a fire is the result. To add insult to injury Norcold does not understand the words: Customer Service. They provide a device to protect you from fires ( maybe) that fails if it encounters any moisture and in many cases you have to pay for the installation of a replacement. The gasket on the doors fails prematurely and you must buy new doors at a cost of nearly $1000. Give us a quality product and there would be no need of a residential fridge. Desert Captain: You should do some research on the electrical requirements for a house fridge. You do not need a 2000 watt inverter. In many DP's there is already an inverter with enough capacity. But if not a simple 1000 watt inverter is sufficient. If there is not enough battery capacity 2 6 volts is enough. Read 100 RV forums and look for a poster who changed to a house fridge and was unhappy. You might find one or 2. Most wonder why they waited so long to do the conversion. BTW: There is no requirement for an RV specific fridge. OEM's are using off the shelf fridges of various brands with no problems. Many of the appliance mfrs. will warranty them in an RV.
