We are full-timers beginning a search for our next rig. Many of the rigs we have seen in our search on RV Trader, dealer websites and private sellers come equipped with a residential refrigerator. From a daily operational perspective I fully get and appreciate the benefits of a residential refrigerator, but I have a couple concerns. It is my understanding residential refrigerators are not designed or manufactured to bounce down the road and as such can lead to premature failures. To repair, generally requires a licensed refrigerator/appliance technician, so I imagine most if any RV dealer service would not be able to make repairs. So I am wondering if residential refrigerators are better suited for folks who do not travel with their rigs, or if so infrequently such as snowbirds who may only travel twice a year. My question then becomes, for those who have residential refrigerators, are full-timers and travel frequently what say you on your experience with them over time. We do travel frequently staying in one place as little as one night and since Lin An is still travel nursing, up to 3-months. Thanks.
