Darryl&Rita Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Advice? Shop carefully, preferably in person. Model numbers can shift between retailers, resulting in measurement creep and a fridge that doesn't fit. If you want to keep the warranty in good standing, confirm that the fridge will run on an inverter before buying. Also, check what the manufacturer requires for ambient temps, as these can void a warranty, too. I have been wrong before, I'll probably be wrong again. 2000 Kenworth T 2000 w/N-14 and 10 speed Gen1 Autoshift, deck built by Star Fabrication 2006 smart fourtwo cdi cabriolet 2007 32.5' Fleetwood QuantumPlease e-mail us here.

Darryl&Rita Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Mechanics of install? Measure, measure, measure. Buy a fridge. Now, think about cutting. It's not hard, but buying the right fridge for your RV helps.

Flying Finn Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 We were seriously considering scraping our dometic ndr1292 for a household frig. Finding the right size to fit our cabinets was tough. I also did not want to modify our cabinets. We would have lost the bottom drawer. Decided to upgrade the cooling unit by changing it to a household type through jcrefrigeration. Same price as a household frig without the cabinet rework hassle. Did it ourselves. Easy with their youtube and phone support. Completed the work in June. Works great, uses much less power than a household model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57becky Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 If you change your mind and just have a new or rebuilt cooling unit installed, be sure to install the ARP device. After we had two cooling unit failures less than six months apart over four years ago, I installed an ARP at the second replacement. That unit is still working, even better than when the fridge was new when we bought the rig. We fulltime, so the fridge is never turned off.

lenp Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Also check the spacing requirements between the sides of the unit and adjacent wall. My Samsung required a minimum of 3" on all sides if I remember correctly. It IS NOT just a "will it fit" issue.
