Steve and Gdetrailer:
I am aware of all those dimensions and that home fridges have no cooling unit in the back.
Could measure again, but to my records, current - very typical - 6.3 Norcold is sitting in 25" deep space, REAR WALL TO OUTSIDE DOOR PANEL. 26.3/4" deep fridge would fit in 25" space just fine :)...
Dinette is across the fridge, not next to it. Fridge already sticks out the most, in the kitchen row on that side.
There could exist 7cf models that fit, haven't found them yet. Not among reputable brands. Buying unknown Chinese gizmo is asking for trouble, some of them are louder than fire alarm bell in my work, and then they stop working after a year.
What A/C? I'm off-grid on solar. When I'm gone fishing for a day with all windows closed, it gets real hot inside. When you keep inside temps 60-70, then you can cool the fridge with the inside air. And then you have energy numbers lower than they otherwise would've been.
