Buying a New RV Refrigerator

An rv refrigerator is the key to keeping your food and drinks cool when you’re on the road. These fridges work just like the ones in your home, but are smaller and are able to run on different power sources. RV refrigerators also have some special features like latching doors that keep them shut when your rig is in motion down the highway.

The Dometic DMC4101 is a great choice for any RV because of its high-quality construction and industry-leading storage capacity. This fridge has two separate compartments, one for the fridge and another for the freezer. Both are vented and use the same cooling technology, so you can be sure that your food will stay cold even when you’re on the road.

You can also easily store taller beverage containers because the shelves in this fridge are adjustable. Hidden hinges and recessed door handles contribute to this fridge’s stylish appearance. The refrigerator also has a flame indicator light that lets you know when the propane pilot is lit.

Depending on the size of your RV you may be able to fit a residential-style refrigerator without having to make any framing modifications. Before bringing your new refrigerator in place, wipe or vacuum out the fridge compartment and check the upper and rear vents to make sure they’re clear of leaves and other debris that could prevent air circulation.

If you’re planning to move your RV frequently, consider adding a thermostatically controlled refrigerator vent fan to the back of your fridge. This will help pull excess heat from the fridge and can improve your fridge’s performance by up to 40 percent.
