Hi there,
              We have owned the rv since 2007, the fridge only works on electric, need to find a new one or used, odd size that camping world doe's not carry, except by special order and even then not the exact size. Anybody with a helping hand would be helpful.
               Please reply, THANKS   Gary

Hi Gary,
I have a Dodge 1977 Rear Kitchen Clipper, I Replaced My Orig. Dometic RM66E
I installed A New Dometic RM 2510 2R.
It Runs on 110Ac & LPG Only, You Have To Do a few Things to Make It Fit.
1.) You Have To Remove Top Shelf A little, Maybe 1-1 1/2" up, Recut cabinet Door.
2.) You Have to Add 1 1/2" Trim Wood To Out Side For Space for Rear Coils on New Fridge.
3.) You Have To re make 3/8" Copper Tubing & Flare Ends to Fit new Fridge, There is a Brass Tee Below by Furnace, I May Have Some Photos if you Need to See Layout.
4.) The other problem I had is I had to Bring New Fridge in from Passenger Side Entry Door.
Side Door was about 1" To Narrow.
5.) I Had To Install on Door Front Skin, I Went To A Plastic Shop & Installed a Textured Black Plastic,
But you can Get a Wood Veneer & Stain to you Cabinet Color.
6.) You Have To Hook Up From Old Fridge The Pos. & Neg. 12 VDC Wires For New Fridge inighter for Gas Operation. 

I Bought my New Fridge from A Trailer Shop Not Far From Where I Live, He has a Few Suppliers & And Did Not Charge me Shipping.

It Sure Works Great & Worth all the Work I did Installing It

What State Do you Live in?

We live in Northern California.

Please Reply if you need Any More Infor.

Hope This Helps,
Also I forgot to Note: My Rv Guy can also install,
But if you Are Handy you Can Save a lot of money.
These Fridges Are a little Costly Now.
I Bought From Dometic a 5 Year extended Warranty on Mine.

Regards,
Joe & Denise
