Has anyone here installed the Haier 10.11 cu ft unit from Lowes in the RV ? Perfect fit replacement for the 24" W Dometic.

We've had our Haier 10.1 installed for a full year now, with zero clearance on the sides, and the top and bottom gaps sealed on the inside of the coach, and zero problems. The back has the normal ventilation from the original Norcold installation, but I do close off all but half of a slot at the bottom in colder weather. The fridge only draws a maximum of 2 amps when running, and except in very hot weather, has a duty cycle of about 30%. Overall we're very pleased with the fridge, especially the additional room inside and stable temperatures. The sub-zero freezer temp is nice as well, easily keeping ice cream hard.

Do you guys have any pics showing your installations? There was a great thread on this recently, but all input is welcome!

Yep, that's the one I installed too. I did place a remote thermometer at the rear of the cabinet along with a blower type exhaust fan to keep it a tad cooler back there.

Yes, I installed the same fridge when our Norcold started getting unreliable. And yes, it was a near perfect fit here, needing just some small trim pieces added to fill slight gaps at the top and bottom. I use a pair of window latches to secure the doors for travel.
