Dometic NDA 1402 replacement

Hi - We have a 2007 American Tradition 42 and need to replace the refrig. Anyone with this rig replaced it with a residential without removing the windshield? Which fridge was used.

Thanks

Frank

We were faced with the same problem with our 1350 4 door Dometic when the cooling unit went out. We were told that removing the slide was the way to go if you have one. The options to replace were slim and involved modifications. Either a residential fridge or a Norcold which might not be better. Modifications would still be required. We found that it would be possible to replace the cooling unit with a 12v compressor which would be low draw or replace the cooling unit with the Amish replacement. Both require the fridge removal but the work is done in the coach. The choice depended on how much boon-docking we would do and we do a lot so we chose the replacement Amish evaporative unit. We did it ourselves. It would have been worth it to have it done though. Just offering it as a simpler option. We are pleased.

Thanks for the response - unfortunately there's no amish conversion for the 1492. It's looking like we need to replace with a residential one urrg.

I suspect that most res fridges 14-16cf two door will fit in your fridge recess. We just replaced a Norcold 8CF 2 door with a Magic Chef 10cf and it fit perfectly. We were able to move both thru the door of our coach.
