READ these messages earliest to latest; I had to break it up.

To run it on the batteries, wither while driving or boondocking you will nedd to get a small inverter (available at Walmart or Amazon. You must check the wattage of your new fridge in order to know how big an inverter to buy.

The easiest way to plug in your inverter is just to use one of your cigarette-lighter style plugs somewhere in your coach, and run an ordinary extension cord from the inverter to the plug on your new fridge.

Hopefully this covers it; anything else, feel free to ask!

Next is purchasing the new fridge. MAKE SURE it will fit the existing hole or that you can trim it smaller or cut it larger. Make sure its not too deep front to back.

Install it the same way you pulled out the old one. You may need to build additional bracing underneath or install something to screw it securely into the wall. Trust me, it WILL move if not screwed in.

Now, all nicely installed, it plugs in and runs just like home as long as your RV is plugged into shore power or running on the generator.

If the doors come off, remove them first. Next look for the screws around the front that hold the fridge into the wall. Typically, these fridges are just shoved in a hole in the wall, held in with a bunch of screws.

When you get all the screws you can find out, get a helper and push/bump from the outside and lift/pull from the inside. It can be a VERY tight fit. Check for screws you missed or wires still hooked up.

When finally you get the fridge out into the kitchen, you may find it is too wide to fit out the door. Don't despair, you can remove one of the windows (hang onto that helper!) and get it outside that way.

Hey, 2 Towncar!

Changing out you old RV fridge for a new household style fridge is not rocket science, thankfully.

First you need to remove the old one. Make sure the propane is OFF at the main tank and buy a plug at a propane dealer that will cap the propane line that now goes to your old fridge (you don't want a leak later). Disconnect the electrical wires and safely tape them out of the way (there will be mostly small 12 volt wires that connect to the fridge control plus a regular plug-in. Don't cut them too short- these can come in handy for powering other things in future.). There should be a standard household outlet near the back of the fridge (this is where you will plug in the new one).
