Residential Refrigerator recomendation

I have a 2004 Dutch Star 4025 (4 slides) I've been weighing to pros and cons of replacing it with a residential Frig. The only con I see is boon docking. My new to me DSDP also came with a 12 volt/A/C Norcold Ref/Frez. in the front passenger side basement compartment. That solves my Boon docking dilemma. I'm reaching out the all you and the Dutch Star owners who have or have converted to Residential Ref. What kind and models fit. What are the things I need to consider when purchasing and installing? Any good or bad comments are welcome. The current Refrigerator is a Dometic 2 door NDR1292 Opening size= 33.5"x60"

Samsung seems to be a popular brand for upgrades. Just make certain it will run on a MSW inverter. Here is a link:Home Appliances - Refrigerators | Samsung US

Happy trails,

I too have a 2004 DSDP and I installed a Samsung rf197 which they don't make anymore but there is a replacement, not sure what the model number is. Works fine on msw inverter.
