Tried all search terms and came up dry. Neither Norcold 3-way nor incoming Isotherm refrigerators will fit through trailer door. Stargazer window opening is 24" and that will work. Has anyone themselves or had a dealer remove (and replace) the window after replacing an item too large for the door?

    Have you considered removing the door to gain a bit more room?

    Not 100% certain, but I think disconnect the struts and it will slide sideways out of the upper hinge point/track. Might be a screw that needs removed? These already have a bit of lateral movement, so I don't think it is a fixed solid hinge on top.

    @NorCalMike, great suggestion, thanks. T@B door limitation is 19.5" at the hard gasket/doorstop. Door itself would come out, but doorstop looks permanent. However, your suggestion spurred an email to Indel Webasto (Isotherm). If the doors come off the refrigerators relatively easily, they will squeeze through trailer door.

    What model Isotherm are you using to replace the Norcold 3-way?
