Go to Lowes or HD. They have several on display usually. Samsung & Hisence are usually there. You are looking for counter depth refrigerators. My BIL will be putting one in this spring in his 376. I plan to do the same next year. My BIL did this in his motorhome a few years back and was very happy with the results. Energy efficiency is a big plus going to residential unit.

Went to both Lowes and Home Depot today...just browsing...saw several we liked. From what i can see they draw between 6 and 11 amp per hour...we will go to residential after purchase...guess we'll get measurements after purchase. Is "counter depth" an industry standard term that i could use with a sale person ? We really liked the Kitchen Aid, but, PRICEY !! go figure....

Hardest part is getting it in the hole. Need a furniture roller or some other way to get it up because lifting it is extremely difficult due to the space restraints.
That particular fridge fits perfectly and there is only a quarter of an inch or so with the slides in between the handle and the counter. I had to cut some from the top to make it fit plus anchor it with metal straps from the back. Removed the gas line and sealed the back vents to keep outside humid air out.
No regrets, the norcold is garbage. I put a kilowatt on there and it indicates $40+ a month electric vs $5 and change for the residential. Much less the terrible cooling (hot weather) and need to defrost.
Would do it again.Last edited by Aridon; 03-08-2020 at 10:23 PM.

I am gathering that the residential fridge is a factory option ? I called GDRV and the lady at customer service was not able to tell me whether the option was available or not...if so, problem solved...having said that I wonder if i could have my preference in residential drop shipped to GDRV for factory install ?

395M Residential Fridge
Does the 395 come with an inverter or do you have to add it in addition to the residential fridge?
