What is the Brand and Model Number of the 2021 2-way Fridge?

The fridge is an Isotherm Cruise 65 Elegance. It has a light, a tiny icebox, an adjustable shelf that slides out, has a 2.3 cu feet capacity, and draws 2.5 ah on 12v power and 1 ah on 120v.

So far, I love it.

I wonder if it can be retrofitted into older models? I’d really prefer a good 2-way over the mediocre performance of the 3-way Norcold.

Yep, that is the question.

First look at dimensions is hopeful. Norcold is a bit taller and wider so some filler panel work could needed. Isotherm is deeper, nearly 2 full inches deeper. Unknowns are how much space behind Norcold now and how curve of T@B front might allow Isotherm placement if extra space is not already there.

Am sure someone will investigate in detail before I do

That is a great looking plaid you have on your lovely T@B...
Sorry if you've already answered this, but did you have nucamp install this when they built it?
It looks really great...

Thank you so much! nuCamp doesn't customize T@bs but a local sign shop can help you with a custom design.

I spent some time doing my first mods, yesterday. I had some done by Austin at nuCamp repairs afget it came off of the line, as well.

The first time you drill is always the scariest.

Coat hook (this is a repeat mod)


Command hook


Connector keeper

@jkjenn - careful with the Connector Keeper - it can slip out.  We ended up covering the top Of the 7 pin with a rubber Cap and that holds it more securely in the keeper.

BrianZ

@Sharon_is_SAM, the rubber cap sounds like a good idea for another reason too - it may help prevent humid air from getting inside, then condensing during cooler temps at night & causing corrosion or possible shorts.  That's why I'll continue to leave ours hanging straight down for drainage.

Hanging straight down should work.  if you use a rubber cap make sure the connector is pointing UP.  Water will wick around the rubber cap if it is pointing down and collect around the contacts.

...and since there is power at the connector all the time, it will corrode. Ask me how I know. LOL
After I cleaned it out, I gobbed dielectric grease in it.

Sharon_is_SAM

Yes, we keep our 7 pin cleaned and greased up.

Thanks for the great conversations! Love the photos of the red T@B. Adorable!

I had a cap on my old one for a while and yes, keep pointed up!

@jkjenn I am interested in how your Jeep Cherokee tows the 400, any noticeable difference?

Search Amazon for the triple coat hook and you’ll find it. 2 for $19.99...they haven’t changed prices much over the last 5 years.

I have a 320, but I love it.

Probably. It would likely require some type of filler for the cabinetry and you could also put a piece of foam insulation in the space(s) behind the fridge vents for the Norcold if you replaced it. No venting is necessary

The Isotherm takes up less overall space but holds slightly more food.
