The time has come to replace the cooling unit in my fridge.
My Dometic RM 3862 has finally bit the big one after 20 yrs. Can't complain. Anyone done this? I don't want a residential unit so Time to replace. Just wondering what I'm getting into.

I have done a cooling coil replacement on a Dometic RM2652. My son did help me get it out of the camper, but then I did the rest on my own, and he helped me put it back in.
At the time 2018, I bought a new cooling unit from RV Cool. It was better quality than the Dometic I replaced and it cools really cold from the start. I did this for a friend on his 2007 camper when the cooling unit died while in my shop getting water damage restored. RV Cool went out of business; not sure when, but it was after 2018.
If you have hands-on mechanical ability, you can do the changeover. You will need help getting the unit out of the wall cabinet and back in. And in and out of the camper if needed, or it fits through the door. Some replace them in the camper as they will not fit out the door.
The install video from RV Cool is still up and running; this will show you what is involved. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8kBX9LzIJo
Hope this helps
