Anyone ever considered a drawer style Refrigerator?

Been looking at refrigeration/freezer drawers for our '69. Naturally it will only be electric, but wondered if anyone out there had considered the same. Weight doesn't seem to be an issue at 128 lbs, but any other issues we should consider?

Can it handle the vibration of traveling down the road?

Those things are expensive! And, according to Refrigerator drawers , tend not to be as efficient as most other types.

Usually, the consideration for an electric refrigerator is that you can get a decent EnergyStar rated appliance plus a solar system to run it for about the price of a typical RV absorption unit. The drawer refrigerators seem to double that again as far as price goes.
