In case you are thinking of replacing a cooling unit and doing the work yourself... know what you are getting in to.
Our cooling unit replacement in pictures.
YIKES !!!
That's the unit I have -- :E
Ours was a nightmare... I don't want to go into it. Here's my advice. Call Dometic (or Norcold for those that have that kind)
and have them recommend a place to take your rig and have a certified Norcold replacement shop do the work. The unit will be warrantied and so will the labor no matter where you go in the USA. That way if the replacement fails... you won't have to take it out and replace it yourself again.
Or better...just go with a residential fridge... if you don't camp without electric very often.. invest in four new house batteries, a Wizard charging system and tune up your generator. JMHO
