RE: Best Fridge Type
Thanks everyone for the replies. For our situation, we’ll end up with a Memorial Day Lowes Special, hard to beat a basic 10 cu ft household fridge for $300. I’m going to install an inverter and another battery, and still be well over $1,000 cheaper than a gas fridge.
I was thinking back about the 25 years we have owned a gas fridge, and fewer than 5 times did we need gas. For what we do, a $600 set-up for a fridge and inverter with my generator should be adequate.

Best Fridge Type
We have had 2-way and 3-way fridges for years. I need to replace out discontinued Atwood unit that is a headache, and have been reading about the 12V compressor fridges. We are 99% RV Park type folks, only time we are boondocking is for an occasional overnight stop at Walmart, and even then I have a generator.
The 12V units seem to be more economical and larger for the same size cutout than the 2 way units, downside being they can drain the battery when not hooked up to shore power.
We have a 15 year old travel trailer and have no desire to go Lithium, so would a 12V be advisable for travel and being plugged into shore power. Brand preference or brand to stay away from? I don’t want the Atwood “no longer supported” headache I have now.

Atwood Refrigerator Door Bins
We bought a used camper with a discontinued Atwood HE refrigerator. Unfortunately the prior owner misplaced all the door bins…not sure why they took them out. Anyway, Dometic discontinued the Atwood line and parts are no longer available and I cannot find any on eBay, salvage, etc.
Any ideas on how to maybe permanently install some door bins, or maybe a cross reference for door bins for an Atwood HE 08-01. I tried a Norcold bin and the locking tabs are different, so no luck there.
