Has anyone on this board ever replaced their RV frig with a Samsung regular frig? I know it will have to be fitted in the space, but was wondering if there would be a problem running it on the inverter when rolling down the road. Wondering how many amps it draws. Thanks for any info anyone can give.

Don't know, but good luck, and Happy RV'ing!

Sorry, I was told that you have to get a RV refrigerator. It has to be able to operate on gas or battery and a regular refrigerator won't do.

I am clueless, but did find these websites with info and advice:

I don't know about the inverter thing while running down the road, but I know a lot of the manufacturers are putting residential fridges in RVs these days.

My concern would be that it would not have a lock, and I know things sometimes jump around in there when traveling!

I just asked DH and he is thinking it probably won't work, that it would draw too much. Too bad eh! Where are you heading for your next trip? Have a great time!

Yes you certainly can replace with household fridge. Seems more and more folks are going that route because of the RV fires caused by the RV fridges. I was reading about one man who mostly dry camps using one. I don't know how to link.You can read lots of info on the RV.Net site, just do a search on fridges.

When we were trying to replace an refrigerator in our truck {semi}we got one and purchased an warrenty we also told them that the ref. was going into a truck which they said no problem. Well it ran on the invertor and generator just fine however when it was approximatley a year old it quit working. When we took it back to store for repairs they informed us it was not meant to be in a truck and refused to honor the warrenty they said the viberation from the truck caused it to brerak

We're planning a trip to eastern Canada to Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia. Looking forward to it.

I don't know what they are putting in the new RV's but ours is a 3-way frig propane gas ----battery and electricity and the converter changes the electricity into 12 volt to run the electric things in the RV am I making sense so in ours no way would a regular one work I am dreading the day it needs replaced as the 3-way ones are very expensive
