[VAC] Replacement Refrigerator

["David W. Lowrey" <dave_lowrey@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, last Tuesday, whilst on our way to the OBX Rally, we opened our 
refrigerator only to discover the lovely odor of ammonia... :-( A trip to 
Wally World to get a couple of coolers. as well as a lot of duct tape to 
seal up the fridge, and we were on our way)

We just returned home, so, it will soon be replacement time....

Now, I BELIEVE that I have a RM100 in my 1977 31' Sovereign International. 
The model plate is scratched up, so I wont know until I remove it and get 
exact dimensions. It's a 3-way unit.

According to the Dometic web site, I can get a 3-way to replace it, but the 
new unit is 4 1/2 inches higher.

I can also replace it with a RM2820 "classic" model thats supposed to be a 
close fit.

Has anyone done either of these replacements? I am willing to loose the 
small cabinet below the refrigerator, if necessary.

What sort of work is required?

Also, I will be looking into just replacing the cooling unit with a rebuilt 
one as well...

Dave
