You talk about the Sercvel being superiour due to greater weight. Weight (When it comes to stuff in an RV) is something to be reduced. That may be the reason, Dometic and NOrcold (et-al) may have traded some of the reliability to reduce weight.. NOTE: This is only a guess. nothing more. but .. AN educated guess.
You beat me to it. A fridge that weighs half a ton is in no way superior for an RV application.
Admittedly some of the newer electronically controlled ones have some issues but I'm aware of several RV fridges that have been trouble free for 20-30yrs...which exceeds the typical life cycle of an RV. Once it lasts the life of the RV, additional lifespan really doesn't provide any benefit.
