Replacing Norcold 12 volt Refrigerator on a 2024 Paradigm 310RL

[jagibson58]

Has anyone replaced their 12 volt Norcold refrigerator with a residential refrigerator? What brand and what to look for in selection? I would imagine an inverter Will need to be added. Not currently having any problems since the unit is in storage for the winter. Purchased it new in July of 2024.

I would be interested to know this also. Not going to replace a marginal and expensive fridge with the same thing.
I have a 2000w inverter and I think that’s sufficient to run a fridge but not sure how long?

The '15 Winnebago we had came with a 120vac residential refrigerator and a 2,800W inverter. It also had an 8,000W genset, 6x 12vdc AGM batteries and a piddly 100W of solar.
A quick look at a big full size Whirlpool says it needs 20A at 115vac. That's 2,300 watts. So you might need to finger what refrigerator you want before you have a final answer on this.
