Residentail refrigerators in motorhomes
Thinking of replacing our old Dometic refer with a 10 cf residential refrigerator and was wondering if anyone out there has experienced any problems with theirs due the bumping and shaking that occurs...

Be sure you can fit the new one through the door of the coach.
You know, I've been kicking around going to a motorhome and I have been wondering just how they get some of these fridges into the coach or how you'd replace one.
I put mine in through the front window. Had to change it because of a crack. The glass guys passed it through to Angela and I. Too easy. :)
What size fridge? I've been looking at Thors and they have full sized fridges in them. I've asked a couple of dealers how it would be done and they seemed astonished that I'd consider such a scenario.
Apparently I'm the only person int eh history of the world who has ever had a fridge break.
A 22 foot whirlpool. And yes we dry camp, a lot. If you are going to dry camp though do it right and add appropriate battery and solar facility. The reason some dealers are surprised is that many are not aware of how little power new fridges use in comparison to what they did even 10 years ago. Most think you are chasing it down the road with an extension cord. Not there fault, they are not appliance sales people. My dealer was the same, and I work here. :)
Good luck.
No. I asked them how you would replace a residential fridge already in a unit if it breaks. Not how to install one in a unit without one.
