New Fridge

Well the 6.6 cubic foot refridgerator in our camper went out yesterday, they have a hard time keeping up in the heat here in Florida anyway. This is usually a problem for us full-timers because the exact replacement models are about 1500 dollars, and take up to 5 days to order. There is a way to get around this if you are not worried about being able to run the fridge on propane. And that is to replace it with a normal refridgerator. You can get apartment sized refridgerators that are between 4 and 10 cubic feet. They are very similar in size and will work great in an RV. We put in a 10 cubic foot Magic Chef for 450 dollars. The only modifications we had to do was to remove the trim piece on the cabinet over the old fridge, and slide in the new one. Then we just had to plug the propane line and check it for leaks. Since the new one does not work on evaporation, it is able to cool more efficiently than the duel fuel models. I will post pictures later, it was late last night when we found out, and we got home from Home
Depot with the new one about 10:30, wasn't finished with the install till midnight.
Till next time,
Have fun and Happy RVing
