You have a Tradewinds by National which is a Diesel. You will NOT be able to get the old refer out and the new (RV or residential) out of the entry door. You will either have to pull a window by the couch or the front windshield to do that. I would go to the "Amish" built unit if they have one for your model. The reason Shops like mine use a Dometic or Norcold is the warranty on the CU. IF I replace it with a Dometic or Norcold OEM, and it fails, Norcold and Dometic will pay the FULL labor cost and the part. Rebuilders or builders of non OEM do NOT pay the full labor cost to R&R if their unit fails. But, I would use a rebuilder in your case due to the age of the refer. There is nothing wrong with using a rebuilt or a new Amish type unit. Doug
