When looking for a fridge keep in mind most don't like to be powered by a MSW inverter. There are some that will work with the MSW inverters, Samsung being one of them.
Thanks- all good advice. I didn't even think about the inverter. I have a Magnum inverter and the first page says "pure sine inverter" so I assume it wouldn't say "pure sine" if it was a MSW inverter correct? Maybe all inverters are MSW by their nature? Not sure.

It is a smaller refrigerator. I am going to go out and measure it this afternoon. Thanks very much for the AJ Madison site. I will look at it this afternoon as well. Maybe there is some hope my trip next week won't be messed up too much.

Yup I measured the refrigerator and the window and you’re right. Just a matter of finding a similar sized refrigerator and finding some guys to do the work.

I feared that Fleetwood put the refrigerator in before they put the slide in and it was crazy difficult to get a new one in!

A lot of times they will leave the windshield out and bring in larger items through it.

Either way you'll have to determine what works best for you. When you measure take into account that you should be able to remove the doors to gain some of the depth, may be enough to bring it through the side door.

Good luck and let us know how it turned out.

That AJ Madison website you gave me was a HUGE HUGE help, thanks. I measured my door, went to their website, and found a Whirlpool refrigerator that would fit through my entry door with the refrigerator doors off. I gave them a call but the fridge was out of stock. I took the model number to Home Depot, and they had it in stock. It's being delivered on Thursday, and supposedly their delivery guys will take the fridge doors off, put it in the RV, then reassemble, no problem.
