ToggleBest Refrigerators for RVs
Your RV refrigerator must meet two basic criteria. It must be large enough to fit your perishables, and it must be capable of keeping those perishables cold. If you have general questions about your RV refrigerators, check out our refrigerator basics guide that explains the various types and styles and offers tips for use and maintenance.
The following list includes options for your indoor fridge and some smaller units to fit your outdoor kitchen.
