Dometic RM3762 12VDC replacement
Has anyone replaced a Dometic RM3762 with either a Dometic DMC4081 or a Norcold N8DC without cabinet modifications? Both 12VDC refrigerators plus the existing absorption RM3762 require a 24” deep enclosure. For reference: I have a 2021 International 28RBQ. When I measure the closet wall that is shared by the refrigerator I only have 21-3/4 from the curved interior wall surface to the face of the shared wall between the closet and refrigerator. As measured at the top of the refrigerator. The bottom seems to have plenty of room. All other measurements are within a couple 16th’s and can be filled with the foam strips that Airstream uses on the current Norcold installations. For reference I also measured new trailers that have 24” of wall. I would like to find a 12VDC refrigerator before I take the existing one out to keep the rest of the trailer usable. I do not boondock. We typically stay at campground with full hookups and 50 amp electrical. From looking at others installations, I am sure the 200ah of lithium batteries that will always be topped off because of our 500 watts of solar and an up to 50 amp DC to DC charger will get us through a random Harvest host night. Any successful 12VDC refrigerator installations in a similar trailer will be appreciated. If you know of a thread I missed, please send a link. I am getting crosseyed researching this and may have missed something you know about. Thank you
