"Residential fridge" and boondocking...

To us, "boondocking" is 2 to 5 days with no generator or solar and maybe even wimpy old batteries.

I'm thinking the fancy "residential refrigerators" (with dedicated converter) are a bad idea for this type of use pattern.

(Yeah, often times the furnace is involved).

Thoughts? Experiences?

Thanks.

IF you want to do it without a generator or significant solar power and a good battery bank, yes - a residential frig is a bad idea. A single wet cell house battery will often last only one cold night running the furnace fan alone.
