I'm contemplating fridge options. I've changed burners, added vent fans, reinsulated, cleaned the flue, put in a new regulator.. It just doesn't do
well when it's over 85 degrees outside (got to 54 yesterday)

It's hard to read off the dimensions in the drawings that have been shared, what is the intrusion into the coach from the wheel liners shown in this
attached photo?

Specifically, how far into the coach does the wheel well reach, how high off the ground is it? I'm looking at possible under counter/top open fridge
(danfoss compressor) and I'm wondering if I can put it in sideways.

Kelly,

That looks just like where I put a Dometic 2652 some 20 years ago. All the
dimensions are here:

Thank you, I can put the same thing in (my fridge is in now, compartment unmolested) but I'm thinking something other than the size of what's in
there. Maybe the newer LP fridges are better than the old ones (my absorption fridge is at least 20 years old)

can I push closer to the wall, get one for a boat with a cutout at the bottom, etc. I'm looking for the measurements of the coach so I can think
ahead before I tear anything out

Cheers
kelly

Kelly,
The more distance you have between the bottom opening and the top will
create a better draw of air.
Also the outer wall produces heat, so insulate it a little.
Also blank off the side openings as the air drawn through will be from the
outside ad ot from the inside.
We receive great review from the ladies as it cools well and not effected
by uneven parking.
We also have a low Delivered price o Norold units.

This is all good information, but I'm interested in a smaller fridge not like what I have, one that's 12V/110v only, danfoss compressor- Isotherm or
similar.

All I want is to know what the intrusion of the wheel well is into the coach. Does anyone have those measurements?
How far into the coach does the wheel well go
How tall is it

thank you

Sir: if you have a side wet bath you should be able to open the bath cabinet rear drawer and see the top of the wheel well and measure it from wall
and to bath floor then add the height of bath floor to coach floor.

You're right.
I had it out earlier this year too... Someone built a make shift box on the right side of my wet bath module. It was a PIA to get it out and in, and
I never thought to do that measurement...

Try this one:
Norcold DEF788S
12v or 110, compressor style, draws about 8 - 10 Amps DC.

Vitrifrigo (Italian) approximately 7 cu. ft. Separate fridge and freezer compartments.

4A on 12VDC when Danfoss compressor running.

Works on 12 or 24 VDC OR 120VAC automatic changeover when shorepower absent.

Yes it is in stock location but it is in the Crestmont with a rear bath.
