Fridge replacement Palazzo 36.1

What are people finding to replace the fridge in a Thor Palazzo 36.1?

Ours is a 2014 so the fridge is ten years old. I want to replace instead of waiting for it to go out in the middle of a 3 month trip.

We like the original fridge…. is it still available?

Thanks

According to the brochure for your model, you have an 18 cu ft Whirlpool residential. Home Depot and probably several other big box stores still carry them.

You should be able to get a couple decades out of yours if not longer. Is there a problem with yours? If not, I don't think you need to worry about it that much. They are built to last longer than just 10 years.

Have this one being delivered tomorrow. 13 33.3 and original is only 47 degrees in fridge area. Had a tech come out and couldn't find anything except there must be a freon leak. Have never turned off in 11 years.

Just put my driver and passenger side windows back in after having them repaired to remove fog. Haven't sealed them yet so it will be easy to remove the passenger one to get old fridge out and new one in.

Keep it, the new ones are all junk.
I’m on my 3rd fridge in my home in the past yr.
Samsung broke
GE broke
Now I have a LG.
Waiting for it to break.

Hope the install went well!

How did that new model fit?

Hello,

How do you like the new refrigerator from Lowes? Did it install easily and fit well in the space of the old one ? We have a 2015 33.3 and our fridge died this past weekend. Can you post pictures of it installed and pictures of the inside of the refrigerator? I believe the original is 18.1 cu ft. Does the new one seem smaller ? Thanks in advance.
