Installing a Residential Refrigerator in a RV

[@macbook802]

You're not judged by how well you do your job. You're judged by how well you handle your mistakes while on the job

[@VFVT101]

Your transparency is why your viewers love your content and when I purchase my RV If I am anywhere close to you, I am utilizing your services for the inspection.

[@danielb4375]

It’s better admitting to mistakes then to hiding them and not learning from them.

[@AZExpert]

Thanks

[@joecrocker8464]

Not just another duchebag mechanic!! He kept it honest 1000% And he didn't even blame the fridge and explained the design... I like that!!

[@AZExpert]

Thank you, it was very humbling to "almost" finish the job the first time

[@mikek5633]

You are correct! The line around the door is a high pressure "hi side" line used to keep the door frame warm to stop condensation or "sweat" around the doors. Common on a lot of newer commercial reach in units. It eliminates the added cost of an electric element and control.

[@dennisjohnson5271]

I dont remember how many post loop electric heater kits I installed in my 38 years as an HVAC and refrigeration tech. Those factory condenser loops have a real issue leaking. I used to use my vacum pump to pull a electric string heater through the loop and connect to defrost timer so it would turn on the heater when compressor ran.

[@lorrieleaver2447]

I’m proud of you James. It takes a lot for an RV expert to not only admit a mistake but it’s just brilliant that you have used this to help others not repeat your error. If the owners like both finishes just add it to the invoice as they certainly got the job done well eventually 😉 Your honesty serves you credit and I feel more confidence in your style of business than ever. Now go and enjoy an ice cold beer 🍺 or something 💕💫

Serendipity!!! I just recently replaced my broken norecold with a small frigidaire. today I was just heading out to put on a little slide lock that just was delivered to keep it closed when traveling. I thought i'd take a quick break and join my wife who just opened you tube on TV. I saw an AZ expert YT and i wanted to show her a quick sound bite of this guy that has helped me so much. Well It just happened to be THIS you tube. I was just planning to go out and put a couple of screws in that same location. Who knows.. maybe I wouldn't have hit the tube. I was able to secure it using the door bolts. You saved me $400.00!!! This was very timely for me! and for just a moment... I was an expert. THANKS.

[@deanlongfellow5154]

oh yeah and I just gave four tubes of Dicor to my neighbor because I learned from you that it is not the sealant to use on my Winnebago! Saved again !

[@jamesfreeman2368]

I feel your pain. Having been a mechanic on everything from autos to airplanes, sometimes things go sideways. Always remember that every 15 min. job is just one broken bolt from becoming a 3 day ordeal. Newby RV owner here, bought an 85 Winnebago Chieftain 22RC last fall and put about 3000 miles on it this summer. Love your channel and the information that you share, just keep bringing your hard earned wisdom. At least I find it valuable.

[@1tequilajoe]

That was so honest of you to man up to your mistake. I commend you your videos of the 12 V fridge. Give me a lot of tips and know how thank you very much. Keep doing the videos that we all admire honesty does pay karma is a mother. You seem like a good guy keep doing what you do,we all appreciate it

[@LovingIdaho]

I have replaced 4 rv fridges with residential fridges in the last 30 years . Always been more happy with residential fridge . The last one , we went with a smaller fridge so we could put more storage above it . The age of air fryers and more bulky items , you can always use more storage .

So take a bow my friend you are definitely the expert

[@rad1876]

👍 I did the same fridge upgrade years ago and we absolutely love it! Only thing is I left the upper and lower vents open so there could be some air circulation 🤷‍♂️.

[@mgreg8134]

I was wondering about that myself I just bought the same model and will install it next week. The manufacturer claims that the fridge is not designed for RV or garage use because it is designed to operate at temps between 40-85 degrees F. Also they recommended 5 inches of clearance on each side. So I was thinking that it while operating it might get too hot inside an enclosed area and not function properly.

[@peckerpeter2078]

I agree or at least keep the bottom vent open, heat needs to escape. Every professional makes mistakes even the manufactures don’t do anything better. Solar panel and life lithium batteries are a must on this option.

[@AZDodgeViper]

Can you tell me once stocked with goods and down to temps how often does the fridge run and amps drawn? Hoping that my 1100 watts of solar and 400AH of battery will keep up.

[@rad1876]

@@AZDodgeViper on an average day mine uses around 0.850kWh. Running is around 125watts. That would mean it is running for 7hrs out of every 24h or 17m in every 60m.

[@jdougn2255]

According to the Haier Specification Guide for this specific model refrigerator, it only requires 2" of clearance on the back, and only 1" of clearance on the sides and top! I was amazed since many models require much more than that!

[@paulshannon4576]

I feel your pain. I had a dorm size Sub Zero freezer on a shelf above the Splendide washer dryer. All was good until I left on a month long trip. So after it falling against the door and almost out I stopped at a Walmart and bought a drill and bits and some brackets. The first hole let all the cold out. $450.00 dollars later when I got home I ordered it’s replacement and mad brackets to hold ratchet straps over the top. No holes in the new one. I just watched to the end and if and when the Norco ladies I’m going that way. 400 watts of solar and 4 six volt batteries with two 3500 watt generators for backup.

[@AZExpert]

OOF! Sorry to hear that

[@timmysrvlife]

Lol, I made this exact mistake. Except I drilled on top of the fridge and though a refrigient line. There have been lots of swearing on myself, and almost in tears. I even tried to solder the line, obviously that didn't work. On the second one, I avoided drilling any holes, rather used VHB taped a bar then secured to the frame. Thanks for sharing the failed content too, it is actually as important as the seccussfully ones.

[@richardsmelker2946]

Wish I had this info before - I spent over $800 getting a RV fridge fixed 2 years ago on a travel trailer - could have put in a fridge like the one you had for $500, and it would have worked better. Traded that trailer in for a larger one with slides. Now we are repairing the slide floor because of an improperly installed seal on the front bottom corner of the slide. Once that's done we are going to rent it out until Summer and trade it in on a class A Diesel pusher. Looking for a used Beaver, Monaco, or Tiffen 40 - 45' coach for later next year. I have watched all the videos and feel more informed then before. We had a motorhome rental business in Michigan years ago renting 21 - 30' class C motorhomes. It seems that the 2002 - 2007 class A coaches are better built then some of the newer ones. we are planning on going full time when we get the Class A.

[@michaelprue9024]

Hey, if you’re not messing up every now and then you’re not working. It’s kind of like, if your not using both hands you’re not working. We ALL screw up every now and then. The important thing is you learn from your mistakes, and you have enough dignity and humbleness to pass that information along to others so they can avoid making the same mistake. Thank you for that. More importantly, you were HONEST enough to not pass the extra cost on to your customer. And you easily could have as it was their decision to install an appliance you and your company were not familiar with. I’ve dealt with companies who will say up front they will not take responsibility for any mistakes made while dealing with items they are not familiar with or don’t normally deal with on a day to day basis. Which is somewhat understandable but not necessarily fair. And top all of that off with I think you just saved me a ton of cash as i will be needing to replace my old absorption refrigerator sooner than later and I’ve been considering doing the cooling unit myself, but now I know that a residential refrigerator will fit my travel trailer and what model. We NEVER boondock, and are always plugged in when we camp so this fridge will be on the list. And like you said, a solar panel or two and a converter, and you’re in business if we do boondock. Great video. Sorry it cost you money out of pocket.

What a heartbreaker. I live full-time in a 2014 sprinter wide body 299RET. It is and has been stationary for 6 years. In 2020, I ditched the Dometic and installed the exact same fridge you have there, the 9.8 cf. Haire. Since I'm stationary, there's no need to install the travel door lock so, I did not puncture the new fridge. I did however do something similar to a brand new 10k btu winow a/c. I had to remove and re-install the sheet metal case for fitment issues and punctured a refrigerant line with a case screw doing so. Expensive lesson. I no longer use battery impacts or screw guns on brand new expensive appliances. Cheers!

Love the honesty. Mistakes happen, "experts" just make less over them over time ( from learning from their previous ones ), and more specifically knowing what to do and how to handle the situation the next time they make a mistake.

[@patrickmccoy8169]

Just put a 10.1 Magic Chef in my motor home in May. After studying the factory installation sheet, which says it is not for use in a RV, I believed the main mistake is not providing airflow on sides, top and bottom plus using cheap inverters. Spec sheets also discourage use in unconditioned spaces. I blocked off outside vents but left space at top and bottom for airflow aided by computer fan with air flow from inside RV. These fridges most all have coils in one side wall. You can feel the heat when running. I attached my top mounting brackets, 3” wide pieces of aluminum angle to the fridge with VHB tape and screwed into cabinet face. Attached rear back as you, front bottom with T brace to hinge bolts and cabinet face. I know someone who let the magic escape installing a support bracket on his RV Fridge. They say the second one goes in a little faster!

Norcold knows they are junk and still installs them. Can be purchased direct from China for $200 plus shipping. Since I do not use the microwave I think I can get this fridge that you used and plug into the microwaves outlet which is a 15 amp location and let her eat. Thanks!

I almost couldn't watch when you drilled that new new refrigerator. I've noticed our Magic Chef 10 cu ft(currently in our garage waiting to see service in our '03 Dutch Star DP to replace our Dometic), gets quite warm on the sides of the frig.. I think I'll use VHB tape to hold that bracket on. Years ago a friend of mine hit a refrigerate line in his frig in his apartment while trying to defrost the freezer. Thanks for sharing, I'm sure you have saved some people some big heart ache.

[@alanthompson7674]

I always recommend when friends replace a propane/12v DC RV fridge with a 120v residential model they install a dedicated ~250-500 watt high efficiency inverter behind/over/under/near the fridge cabinet. Then it can stay powered without needing the house inverter or running a new 120v circuit. Even if the original fridge was 120v/propane, a dedicated high efficiency inverter keeps you from having to turn on your main inverter or generator to run your fridge on the road.

[@vandersnickmcduffle7333]

Last RV we used the same? fridge and very similar set up. Was afraid to install the bracket for the exact same reason. Used VHB Eterna bond with adhesive prep primer. Was still good at the 2 year mark when we sold and bought a 5th wheel. I wouldn't consider it permanent, I just figured if I had to redo it once a year I wouldn't care.
