Advice/opinions(update been installed pics below)

[walters]

Been thinking of pulling my fridge out and putting a double door stainless residential in, all the new bigger campers come like this now. Weake a couple big trips a year take all our food and cook. These small ones just is not enough. I have the cabinet space and yes I can mount it in the caninets and make it look factory.
Now I know someone is going to say u need that gas pack to keep it cold going down the road, I have pulled mine 8 hrs, which is all I'm able to do, with my fridge off and everything stay cold, I never run with my fridge on.
So what's y'all's opinions on this

Put in a second multi fuel fridge, replace current one with larger, or go all residential.
I spend too much time where I need a generator for 120v to want to be forced to run it longer to keep food.

It's all about what you want to do, and how you want to do it.

been looking at new 5'ers for months, residential fridges are popular, but not the majority.
twin and triple multi-fuel are also options, with the single multi-fuel as the standard fit out.

My last camper had a full 120v frig. I just ran the generator while traveling. The camper A/C unit too.

New camper

The new ones with the residential in them have power converters on them where they will run going down the road, but like I said if u keep the door closed it will stay cold 8 hrs cut off., Do it all the time

Why not get a 12v Engle or arb fridge to take along. I tested Mine (a Chinese knockoff) when I got it and ran it for 3 days on an old trolling motor battery and the battery still had 11.5 volts.

I hardly ever run my fridge on LP while traveling. I keep the camper plugged in at home so it's always cold.
I say go for it

Right now we getting ready to pull to Daytona for 10 days, my freezer is packed full and I have not put half the food in there yet

Camper

Well it looks like wife wins, went with Samsung rh18 cause cabinet is only 24in. Deep (without doors) its almost like it was made for camper cabinets and it appears to be what everyone online is using, will keep y'all updated on install

Yeah, I'd like to see it installed. I had a friend who took the table out of his London Aire 5th wheel and installed a chest deep freeze.
Of course a deep freeze full of food will stay frozen for a few days anyway.

What about putting some of those blue ice things in the refrigerator while on the road?

Maybe a small ice chest for drinks and lunch to keep from having to open the big unit.

Fridge

Think I'm gonna put a inverter on it, don't know why, I know it will stay cold while in tow.
Net says it will run 8 to 10 hrs on inverter

Thats what I do, even though mine is just a small dorm style fridge. Just check to make sure that you don't need one of the pure sine wave inverter(s). My paperwork specifically said that modified (cheaper) sine wave wasn't clean enough and if run off an inverter that pure sine wave must be used. It's because of the electronics..

I think it looks better, nice job! Do camper refrigerators have ice makers? I was wondering how that works going down the road.
Maybe everyone learns to turn off the ice maker before hitting the road.

Update

Done got 7 pieces of ice, my wife says that's profit, I said slow profit
