Compact Refrigerator
We've been seeing people in campgrounds with compact refrigerators sitting on a table outside of their trailers. I assume they use them for drinks instead of a cooler. Great idea! We are planning to get one and put it in the storage compartment where the receptical is for an outdoor TV. 
Any suggestions or comments are welcome.

Me too. I don't have drop down frame so limited height in front compartment is an issue. Wonder if any one knows of portable dorm style fridge that fits?

I use a Coleman thermo-electric cooler. It is 12v dc with an ac adapter. We use it in the back seat of the truck while traveling on 12v and then like you mention ... by the table at the campground on ac power so we don't have to run in and out. It keeps the contents 40° below ambient temperature which in most cases is cold enough. It was around $80 at Wally World a few years ago. It weighs the same as a regular chest cooler and does not have to be level.

25" Kenmore
We just looked at a Kenmore that is 25" tall. Will that fit in my 327RES cubby?

What are the dimensions of your cubby? Take the dimensions (L/W/H) of both the cubby and the Kenmore and then you should know if the fridge will fit.

No it will not fit. I think the basement is about 19 1/2" in height. I purchased a Black & Decker at Walmart that will sit on a table outside for about $70. When towing I put it inside the trailer.

66ken is correct the height is approximately 19 1/2" tall. We have a small fridge also but we only use it when we are expecting all our kids to show up. It is a great space saver and saves money spent on ice, which adds up when it is hot.
We carry it in either the truck or the inside of the camper.~ Lauren
