We're in much the same position as you two, but made a different choice, i.e., to go with gas/electric. Here was our thinking.
1. The added cost of the generator, particularly, struck me as consequential.
2. I felt we could easily travel in a day using the 4 batteries. But I did not feel we could travel 2 days without shore power overnight or the generator.
3. Too frequently, in the campgrounds we stay (lots in Canada), there is weak voltage - dropping below 106. DRV's can have an electric management system, but I like the option to switch the refrig to gas, leave the A/C's off, and not worry about it.
4. I've read articles about issues of defrosting gas/AC refrig's. We don't need to do it monthly - maybe 2X a year.
5. It seems also, that residential refrig's are larger. Cannot confirm nor deny that. I think most folks, will fill whatever refrig they own.
It's interesting to note that when the default was gas/AC, residential refrig was about a $1300 option. Now that the residential refrig is the default, the gas/AC is a $1300 option.
