CS Refrigerator Type

Are there CS models (past or present) with top loading refrigerator?

I believe that some people have swapped the fridge for an ARB (not a factory swap, a DIY swap).

There was a CS that had a Norcold chest frig placed.  It was the same one used in the TaG models at the time.  We had an ARB placed with our build in 2017.  It is not a simple swap and so far the factory has not been able to change from the Norcold brand frig because the area depth is too shallow.

I think that there was a dealer in the PNW that ordered a bunch a few years ago with a flush counter and a pull-out 12v cooler like the T@Gs.

Thank you all, I thought a pull out fridge on CS was a factory option and pull out shelf could be retro fitted in my 320s.

@webers3 - not a factory option.  Also, I am not sure if nuCamp Non-Warranty Repair Dept. would undertake that large mod.  Because the width of the top loaders are wider than the current frig it would involve custom sized cabinets or eliminating your current cabinet/drawer unit, then a custom, flush counter and slide out shelf.  Because our ARB is taller, they ended up raising the height of the counter and as a result, the counter is more shallow.  Hope this makes sense.  I would send an email to Austin and ask if they would do the work (Repairs@nucamprv.com).

The earliest CS models built by Dutchman had a flat kitchen counter and a slide out shelf for a cooler on the right side.  The stepped counter and 12v refrigerator were an upgrade option introduced ~2007.
