No preference on freezer location. Enjoy the fall colors.

I checked the Samsung's last year and the 18CF french door model that everyone was using would not fit due to my tight space. It is to deep. Thanks for you help.

Thanks Rich, I'll take all the help I can get. We currently have a Norcold 1200LRIM unit. The inverter is a Magnum and think it is 2000 watts based on the sales brochure for the coach. I will have to pull it to get a model number. It is in a 2006 40ft Pusher with four 6 volt Lifeline house batteries. I can make room for two more batteries with some modifications to the compartment. I will change out the inverter and add the batteries if necessary to change over to a residential unit. Right now I am trying to find units that will fit and then I will have to determine what I need to change to accommodate them. The coach manufacture only made the space big enough for the Norcold unit. I can not gain any width or depth With major cabinet work we can get to 73" tall on the opening. There is a cabinet directly across from the Norcold. The new unit can not be deeper that 52" with the doors open. This measurement is the max. Any clearance needed at the back for proper performance or at the front for fingers and door swing needs to be deducted. Thanks, Roger

From our experience, the Amish cooling unit is no improvement. We replaced the original Norcold cooling unit a year ago after the repair center insisted it was bad. The new Amish unit preformed no better than the "Defective" Norcold unit. The normal refrigerator temperature is 36-55 degrees depending on outside temperature. The temperature remains the same at 6, 7, 8, and 9 on the temp setting. On one hot day we did not open the unit for 24 hour. The 7:00AM reading was 42 degree (85 outside), it was up to 58 by 4:00PM with an outside temperature of 106 degrees. The refrigerator was in the shade all day. Left freezer compartment hold at 0 degrees and may climb one or two degrees on 100 plus days. Right freezer stays in the 10-12 degree range. Installation and clearances where checked at the time of cooling unit change over and all match Norcolds specs for proper installation. All boards and the thermister where replaced. Doors seals have been inspected and are ok. Infrared shows only a slight leak at center seal of refrigerator compartment and none at freezer doors. 12 volt and 120 volt supplies are all within spec. Fans all work, Additional fans added to top of roof vent. Fans added to inside of refrigerator and did not help. No difference in performance on LP or electric. Both heat sources here checked and performed within spec. It seems like a 50 degree difference form outside temperature is the best it will do. When it was 106 outside the best we could get is 56 degrees on any setting. When it is 85 or less the best we get is 36 degrees. We have been trying to find a residential refrigerator that will work. Due to very limited space and the floor plan almost nothing will fit. Has anybody had any experience with the apartment size refrigerators made by Summit or the model LRBP1031T made by LG.

Do you have the model number on the Whirlpool? Thanks I found them. They are to deep for my application. Thanks

Thanks for the response. I have spent several hours looking at specs. The info in the original post indicated that they had the same depth problem I have. I only have the 24 inches that was required by Norcold. Most manufactures require some clearance at the back for air flow. In height and width I can make more room. I can adjust to fit most units in the 18-22 CF range except in depth. Even smaller unit do not gain me anything in depth.

Can you tell me which make and model of refrigerator was used? I have very limited depth and height. Any help would be appreciated.
