New fridge for a 78 Safari

I noticed that the original fridge in my recently new-to-me Safari is 39" tall, but my new Dometic in the Caravel is only 37" tall and provides just as much interior space. The one thing I don't like about the new Dometic is the plastic shelves in the door--they are very fragile. You hit a bad bump and their attachments fail. But the height would allow you to use the space above the new fridge almost like countertop, only about 1.5" higher.
