Swapping Dometic Fridge for Household Unit
Hey everyone! So i just bought a used 2004 Cardinal 31BH and the stock fridge has a shot cooling unit. I was told a new unit would cost around $1500 or repairing the existing unit by a local Amish...

I had three problems with this plan (different unit and different coach).
There was no easy way to make the new reefer stay in place when underway. I made plastic hooks for the door edges.
The unit required an inch of clearance on each side for cooling. I was able to reposition things enough to get this and added fans and an attic fan switch to run them.
There was no way to lock the doors. A child proofing lock worked.
And there is very little chance it will set the coach on fire.
