Replacing RV frig with a Samsung regular frig
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.

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!

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

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
