They’re big! They’re small! They’re too big! They’re too small! We’re talking about your RV refrigerator, and whatever the size, we bet you have feelings about it!
Do you think your RV’s fridge is too big? Too small? Or is it a “Goldilocks” size—juuuust right?
RV refrigerators come in all shapes and sizes, from compact under-counter units to residential-style models that seem to take up half the kitchen. Some campers love the extra fridge space for fresh produce, cold drinks, and leftovers.
Others find that a giant fridge isn’t necessary, especially for weekend trips or when traveling light. A large unit might even feel like wasted space when you’d rather have more drawers, shelves, or room to maneuver inside your tiny kitchen.
On the flip side, many RVers get creative when they feel their fridge is too small. Some keep a dedicated cooler outside, invest in a portable 12V fridge/freezer, or make more frequent grocery runs to work around the limited capacity.
Others have considered upgrading to a residential-style fridge, even if it means sacrificing storage or making electrical upgrades. How do you deal with your fridge space (or lack thereof)?
If you think it’s too big, would you rather have a smaller fridge and use that extra space for something else (like an additional cabinet or pantry, maybe?). If it’s too small, have you ever thought about replacing it? If it’s too small, do you use something like a cooler for excess refrigerated items? Please leave a comment with your answers. Thank you!
