In our 1995 U240 36′ I installed the Black Whirlpool. I don’t have an inverter yet. We plug in the coach to our house before a trip for a few hours. Stays cold en route. One could run the generator if needed for a bit for a long day. The fridge will need the trim on the top, at least in the U-240.
I had a mirror cut the correct size, had a Southwestern theme etched in it. Easy. Little trim needed on the bottom. I used the plastic one from the Dometic, painted it black, and cut it to three inches in height. We had to modify the cabinet slightly. The fridge is held in place with plumbers tape. I can’t even hear it run. We secure the door with 3M masking tape until I get around to installing a lock. One guy on Escapees used a childproof oven lock from Lowes.
Household units are more efficient than absorption units. And will last longer. Cost? $330 with my military discount. Remove the doors and it will go through the entry door. The biggest headache is removing the old unit.
