Anybody replace there fridge with a bigger one? I would love to have a 18cu fridge. Thanks

I did, but it came with a bigger 5th wheel wrapped around it. Okay, I know my response was no help what so ever, but I couldn't resist.

Spicer, suppose we trade our big 'fridge for your International? Having grown up in a trucking business I have always had the hots for what you're towing with. Lots of red and lots of chrome. Momma says when pigs fly.....

In my last 5th wheel, the refrigerator went out. It was the standard 7 cu. ft. RV model by Dometic. Around here, I could get it rebuild by the Amish for about $800.00, which wasn't bad. Problem was that it would take 2 weeks, which I didn't have. I was going to the NASCAR race. I went to Lowes and got an apartment sized refrigerator. The outside dimensions were exactly the same. I removed the old one, and the replacement one slipped right in. I had to make a couple of brackets for the back of it to bolt it to the RV. The only problem was that it was a 120 volt only unit. As long as we were connected to shore power or generator power, we were OK. Eventually I installed an inverter specifically for the fridge so it would stay cold going down the road. This worked great, and as far as being larger, I didn't have to use a cooler for extra supplies for a full week at the race. I think the new fridge was 14 cu. ft., not sure though. I never had any problems with that unit and eventually traded the RV in on a 2016 308 BHDS.
