Time to go to a LP fridge. a minor problem with the norcold, and a craigslist find, made it the new project to get done.
I pulled out my original Norcold yesterday. I picked up a nice looking Dometic rm2652 for $300.
I have been searching out the photo site, and trying to get my ideas all in place for the installation. I have seen rick Drummond's, Carls, and a couple others.
It is my plan to pull the rear panel out,(dry rotted a little bit, and looks like i need the 1" more clearance at the top). paint the wood with some fire retardant paint(Telco stuff I have at work just because it is easy and available). Then line the compartment with reflectix.
it looks like I will have to cut 1" to the top side of the front trim to get the fridge to fit, and I hope I can squeeze an inch or so on the top rear of the compartment, so I do not have to shim it out into the hallway. taking a quick skim, I also was looking at the instructions on the dometic rm2652, and it seems there is not much of a clearance requirements, as the norcold installs I looked at. I don't see any maximum clearance, just minimum(0").
I also bought the valtera 12v thermostatically controlled fan, I plan to mount in the roof vent.
so if there are other photo's or ideas, let me know.
