We are in the process of modifying our 2010 to take out the Dometic 4 door and put in a residential. We were already equipped with a pure sine wave inverter and have a Honda EU3000IS generator as a backup.
Incidentally, over on SOITC there has been an extensive thread about changing out, and includes some blog postings I have done showing what other Suites owners have done with theirs.

While out Samsung french-door refrigerator hasn't arrived yet, there was a bunch of us that got together today to take out the Dometic and prepare the space for the larger residential. I took a bunch of photos during the process so far and will be either putting a blog post together or putting all the photos out on our Photobucket account. But, that is for later. I'm too tired today.
Slade and Alicia Tennery of Rolling Retreats in Elk City was a part of the team doing the job today. They commented that they will be ordering almost every coach they get with a residential. I suspect that one could still order one with the Dometic if they were going to boondock, but I imagine any that they order will have the residentials.
If you want, check them out at the link below. Their website still shows a 2013 Elite with a 23 cu ft residential refrigerator in it.

Incidentally, Slade is very conscientious with all the work he does. They replaced our standard dining table with 4 chairs with the new style with the cabinet against the wall, and today helped with the modifications needed for our Samsung. I'd recommend to everyone.
