Back at it! I think the pictures litespeed posted of his conversion are absolutely beautiful. Sorry to be getting back so late - just had to take a break this morning and afternoon. Send me a PM and I will e-mail you some pics of the installation. I would never go back to the old gas/electric fridge again unless we start doing long trips again.įor the first time. No problems so far and the thing actually cools like a regular fridge should. After the fridge was done cooling and was up and running normally (this took 1. This gave me about 2 inches of space on the sides, 2 inches on the bottom, 2 inches to the rear and about 1 foot on top. The first thing I did was remove the all the insulation out of the old opening. I spent the better part of 3 days trying to figure out how to properly ventilate it. I think the reasoning for this, is that the fridge gets so hot on the sides. If you read the manual for the this particular fridge you will find that it is not designed for RV's nor is it designed for outdoor use or "built in installation". I just purchased and installed this exact Magic Chef fridge (from Home Depot) in our RV. We received over 23 inches of rain is less than 2 days! Storm Fay got to the electronics and ruined the thing. It is a PITA to replace and you are still stuck with cold plate cooling.
