Why aren't FR and other RV manufacturers making RVs with residential propane fridges?

[lugoismad]

There are residential full size propane refrigerators that are just as good as regular compressor ran residential fridges. My uncle had one that worked great and I would have never known it was propane ran had he not told me.

I get that the new thing is to have the big residential fridge, but why aren't they using the propane powered ones so you can still boondock?

I would imagine price might have something to do with it

Our new park model has a residential refrigerator which is ok with us since we will never boondock. In our other motor home it was necessary to have propane/electric refrigerator for when we were on the road and I am happy it always functioned and did not have to be replaced or fixed. As spock123 said price may have something to do with it.
