There is no comparison of fridge efficiency ,design,capacity and more when comparing 110 vs anything else. You have to look long and hard for anyone that would like to get rid of a residential fridge.

Those Pex fittings are hard to find. Try a plumbing supply house or an appliance parts wholesale.

I do mot have a fridge to measure but I googled and that is where I got that 36 number. But you are right it is 33. I am spoiled as our Dynasty has a factory Jenn air and it is 36. When it died I was able to drop the height and the new fridge is 22 cu. ft. Huge!

When I look up the dimensions of a 1200 norcold it is 36 wide. The Samsung rf18 is only 33 wide. Why are users not installing full width fridge?

It is a shame that companies do not post on forums when they get a bad revues. Probably they do not want to be part of an online war. It is always best to get both sides of the story.

As a business owner I firmly believe in the following: It is easy to appear like you look after customers when things go well. But when there are problems how these problems are handled separates the good from the bad. In this case JC should have fixed the problem. His lack of concern could cost him his reputation. Sometimes it pays to realize that you have made a mistake Immediately he should have quickly offered to make it right.

Did water get inside through the side vent? Did you seal that side vent?

I have used final change in all my motorhomes. Meets every mfrs. requirements. Available in most truck stops and even some Walmarts. Napa as well. O use an inexpensive refractometer from Amazon to test. I drained the old coolant into a bucket and poured into old gallon oil jugs. To refill I drop a 120 volt utility pump into a 5 gallon pail. Pour in coolant. Utility pumps have a garden hose outlet. No pouring into the rad resevoir required.

Norcold will sell you the doors with the seals. Around $100. Great customer service!!!

There is a fellow on IRV that bought a used metal tank from a Peterbilt. Requires a little moding but is large enough and has an external tubular level gauge. That tank is hard to find but if available is a great option

The problem is that the smaller norcolds use the same cooling unit as the 1200. Not big enough and it overheats. What do they use in late model motorhomes? Did Norcold ever redesign the 1200? I never hear of anyone having trouble with the larger Dometics. I see that Furion makes a residential that is the same size as the old Norcold. RV mfrs like Furion products (Chinese) Even some of the microwaves are Furion. Cheap product. I read that of the mfrs. are getting parts for the infamous Schwintek slides from China If you have never seen those slides they are designed to fail.

Has anyone here tried the JC twin compressor 120 volt?

Just Google and you will see multiple lawsuits. I am glad yours has been a good unit.

I would never install one of those 12 volt fridges. They are not very big. There is a reason why RV mfrs. do not install 12 volt units. Our first fridge was a side by side About 19 cu. ft. New one is a 22 cu. ft. French door. It is amazing. When shopping for groceries we can buy larger packages. I had to lower the floor but it was no big deal.

Monaco installed Jenair or Whirlpool. Same manufacturer. Instead of risking damage to the dash or chair we chose to bring it in the emergency window behind the driver. Samsung makes the worst appliances known to man. Same for LG. Dealers carry them as they get great discounts. I almost bought a unit with the Amish double 110 volt conversion. Apparently they work well. However you still have a unit with bad hinges and door seals that are not replaceable. Owners chose those conversions because it is harder to install a residential fridge. Do not take the easy way.

Mine is also zip tied. Solved turn signal problems

There are 2 review wb sites for RV's. Both are horrible . One site shows reviews from 10 years ago. Neither distinguish between pull trailers and DP's. Truck Down is for 18 wheelers but some will work on DP chassis. There is an extreme shortage of HD technicians so shops are very busy. Many either do not have space for a DP or they do not work on any RV. Mobile RV techs are usually very good on things like slide outs,12 volt electrical and even gensets. Truck Down lists mobile HD mechanics. When I was driving long haul I had good experiences : ABS sensor, air valves, alternator,starter motor,ride hight valves. Some even have a good selection of common parts. Stay away from Freightliner,TA and any truck dealer. Unfortunately in some areas they may be your only choice.

The new and old fridges will go through the emergency window behind the driver. There 2 screws on the upper outside track. Just like an awning track. I removed the window and the valence

We have a beer fridge in Mexico that I bought second hand. It was made in Poland. Been plugged into horrible electricity for 26 years. Amazing.

Aj Madison has an excellent web site for comparing sizes.

I would replace it with another Whirlpool. Far superior to a Samsung. There are many class action suits against Samsung appliances. You should be aware that your Whirlpool is one of the best. But alas the new fridges are not the same. ur Dynasty came from the factory with a JennAir. Also made by Whirlpool. It lasted 10 years. I replaced it with a larger JennAir. It is 22 cu ft. and we love it.Repairmen tell me that 7 years is amost the full life of a new fridge

I don't know why everyone is rebuilding altermators I know that new ones are expensive but they last a long time. Some of the rebuilders use off shore parts.

World American are not selling genuine parts. They are probably off shore fakes.

That filter may be Chinese. My experience is that when there is oil in the dryer your compressor is worn.

I would check your genset manual. Yellow packaged Prestone is cheap junk. It does not hsve any of the diesel engine mfrs. approval numbers. I realize that a Onan is not the same as a hd diesel engine. But whoever built the engine in your Onan has a spec.
