I have read these threads with interest for the last 15 years thinking someday my Norcold was going to fail and I would have to replace it with a residential or another propane electric.
Sorry if this is a dumb question but, how does one get a residential refridgerator (physically) INTO an RV after the fact?
I removed the doors and hinges from the Samsung (RF18) and took it in through the front door of my Wanderlodge. It took my brother, my nephew, and I about an hour to get it in but only about 10 minutes to actually move it up and in. The remainder of the time was spent removing/re-installing the doors and hinges.
I also had removed the handle and some other hardware by the stairs at the front door - took me 5 minutes to put it back.
The other option is removing a window or the windshield. Fortunately, I didn't have to do that but some RV's may not have the space at the door. My front door has a 27" opening and the fridge needed 24" without doors and hinges so I had plenty of room.
BTW, I also had to remove the doors and hinges off the old RV refrigerator to get it out of there as well.
