Sounds like the exact upgrade I did. Here were the steps:
The only gotcha is that there is an electrical box on top of the fridge. So while the opening was the right size, there was a cross member inside the cabinet that the electrical box hit. A quick sawzall to notch it fixed that.
I paid Home Depot for their Haul-Away service ($15) and they not only put the new fridge in place, but also took the Norcold away (I had it out on the driveway ready for them). They spent about 60 mins with me, getting the new one in, etc. They went above and beyond!



- Remove Norcold
- Remove existing base
- Remove drawer below - this was time consuming to give as good a finish as possible
- Relocated Electrical to bottom left
- Replace water hose
- Install plexiglass to block old exterior vent
- Foam filled top roof vent
- Create new floor to required height
- Install new fridge
- Secure using metal strip along the front of fridge base
