Installing a Norcold 1210 in a 2005 Monaco Diplomat

[McKenziek]

So my 1200LRIM needs replacement and the local RV shop wants $2500 to replace the cooling unit. A new Norcold 1210LRIM is going for $3500 so i'm thinking going with new and installing myself. From what I can see to replace the fridge is pretty straight forward. Disconnect some lines and a few screws. All I want to know is will these units fit through the door opening? Specs say 24" deep but I'm not near my coach to measure the door opening. Can anybody with a similar Monaco measure their door opening? If not > 24" then the front windshield is the only option and I'm not attempting that. All comments appreciated.

I've looked at changing refers in my 2005 Fleetwood Excursion 39S. If I do it, I'll do it through one of the side windows. I've had them out and it's a lot easier than messing with the windshield.

I've been down the residential fridge option before. Not gonna do it again. We dry camp too much.
