There are lots of motorhomes with residential fridges in them. They will require shore power, or a gen set if dry camping for any time. They ARE far better for cooling and freezing not to mention cheaper to buy. They do pull a fair amount of power running on an inverter so I'd be careful about checking the draw of amps from the battery. The main draw is on start up so you want to have enough amps available both in the inverter and battery bank or it will trip the breaker. Having to run both fridge and furnace will really draw down the batteries if dry camping. You'll want to not only check dimensions but power usage before sticking it in the rig.
