Steve,

I Googled Norcold Installation Manual and it returned a bunch of links, one
of which is below:

Hopefully the model you have is listed and will provide the measurements you
need.

Hello,

We have a dilemma that we hope is a figment of our imagination. We are in
the process of rebuilding the refrigerator cabinet in our 77 Palm Beach -
Aurora. She's a good girl, but measurements don't add up. :lol:

The issue is the size of the opening for the fridge. The original size is
24 1/4 inches wide. Seems this opening is a little too small for the
fridge. The screws that held the fridge in (4 screws) were partially
screwed into the wooden frame, which seemed like the opening was a little
too small. Then the opening on our 73 cabinet is 25 1/4 inches wide. We
were planning to use the fridge from the 73 , which is a newer 3-way fridge
(Norcold). We are using the OEM fridge cabinet from the 77 as a template
for the new one, but if we do this the fridge for the 73 will not fit in the
opening on the rebuilt cabinet.

So - what size should the opeing be and is it possible to get a new fridge
to fit in the 24 1/4 inch opening?

We are just stumped - not engineers or carpenters here.

cheers and beers

Steve
