I have found a good working Dometic RM3662 fridge for a bargain.

will it fit in place of the original norcold in my 75 palm beach?

I am out of town, and do not have much time to do some more research, I searched, and I seen someone has one of these.

what would it take to get this to fit?

thanks!

Measure twice, cut once. Search the I-net and get the outside dimensions. May have to rework the frig heat stove, directing hot air up the back of the frig.
Good Luck.

Jon, if it is a real deal, buy it. You can make it fit. Propane for dry campers.

Jon, The Dometic is slightly larger in both height and width than the Norcold 641 I put in mine, but I don't think you will have any problem making it fit. The Norcold dimensions ate here:

Model Height Width Depth Interior Volume
N641 52-7/8": 134.3 cm 23-1/2": 59.7 cm 24": 61 cm 6.3 cu.ft.: .17 cu.m.

It looks like the Dometic is 53-3/4 X 23-11/16, so only a little bit wider ( I had an extra 1/2" on the side for my Norcold) and almost an inch taller, which I think you can get by cutting the top of the opening ( I had to cut about 3/4" off the top of the opening for mine).
