I replaced mine in my 03 Itasca Sunova 30B. I put in one that was bigger that the factory one. It was about 1/2 inch wider and must have been 8 inches taller or more. I just took out the drawer that was under the old one and built a platform with plywood to support it. Then I took a jigsaw and carefully cut 1/2 inch off the side of the opening. I removed the old side vent and replaced it with a hatch for a boat so it was sealed. I screwed the fridge down using that hole to access the back side of the fridge. I also added one angle bracket at the top of the fridge using self tapping screws. That was the scary part. I was worried about hitting wiring of a refrigerant line but it worked out great. Voided my warrant I'd guess. We lost one drawer but doubled the fridge. I vent mine from under the platform and out a wood looking floor vent out the top. The vent came from Home Depot. We don't miss the drawer and the Ice Cream is frozen! Home Depot also sells some pre-finished trim that you may find matches your RV. Look in with the paneling and also in flooring. I used the 110 outlet that was there for the old fridge with no issues. Just start cutting ;)
PS: Sealed the roof vent with great stuff foam.
