Installation of Isotherm Cruise 65 Elegance a/c d/c fridge in a 2019 T@B 320s

Ideas from other posts were quite helpful. Final cost less than $1300. Wanted to have NuCamp do the installation.  By the time I received their estimate I did the install.  Their estimate was $2969.

Finished installation.


Removal of the screen door and Norcold fridge was easier than I thought. Much easier than getting the next photo turned.

In the back right hand corner was a board with insulation attached. Some removed it. I notched it. Added 1” strips and plywood to the back of the existing stiles.  The left side shows maple filler attached to the plywood backing.  It was glued and screwed to the plywood.
Doors were removed and stiles sanded, stained (minwax  natural 209) and polyurethaned.



The 12 volt wires had female connectors and hot wire was marked. Attached male connectors to the new unit.  The unit also came with an a/c plug. All wires were long enough to make connections before siding the unit in. 

The unit has met our expectations.

@rudacille1 - I edited your photo.
Photos taken in “portrait” mode (with your phone held vertical) will not post as taken.  If you turn your phone horizontally while taking a photo, they will post as viewed.  If a photo posts turned sideways, save it to your phone photo album, then edit it and repost it.

@Sharon_is_SAM I think I was playing with this at the same time.  I noticed the file was a "webp" image format.

Hmmm, @pthomas745 - not sure what format that is, it just worked with my iPad😂

Looks great.   Suggestions for removing the old fridge?

You need to remove the screen door as well as the cooktop. None of it is difficult but time consuming. Cooktop gets you access to the propane line easily. The screen door is just a lot of screws!
