1) Judging from the ampere draw of the units, manufacturers aren't particularly picky about refrigerator energy requirements,
2) Door locks were ad-hoc and monster garage-ish (and that's putting it kindly). I actually cut my finger while trying to engage one of the locks,
3) Fit and finish are what you'd expect from the likes of Winnebago, Fleetwood, and Thor,
4) The fridges all looked like wall warts to me. The built-in look with matching cabinet grade paneled doors is gone.

My LXi deserves better...

Since I looked at the same units, you really can't compare the junk they sell to what should be done in our LXis. You would need to see how Newell or the P brand convertors go about it.
