Residential is 120v only. So either be plugged in, use generator or run on inverter. The Samsung RF18 is a common replacement for the Norcold 1200 series. It is same width, and counter depth. Just a bit taller, so you lose some storage below or above, depending how it is installed vs the Norcold. Samsung is nominally 18 cu ft vs the 12 cu ft Norcold. The Samsung actually uses less elec power than the Norcold when it is on elec. Over on RV forums, almost all that have made the switch to residential frig are very happy and would not go back.

I like state parks most of the time, sometimes private RV parks. These tend to have elec. Also some boondocking at some races or shows, or when quick overnighting in truck stop or similar. I have 15kW generator, so no shortage of capacity if needed.
