This has been the best modification I have done so far to our 2006 40' Holiday Rambler. We love the extra capacity. Our Never-Cold RV 'fridge went out and Camping World wanted $3600 for a new one. ? So I went to Lowes and found a stainless steel French door with bottom freezer Samsung 'fridge on sale for about $1000. But then I found one in the scratch and dent area for $800. It had a small ding on the side that would be hidden by my cabinets. I offered the manager $600 and he took it!!

All the doors had to come off the 'fridge and the passenger captains chair had to be removed to get the 'fridge up the stairs and into the coach. We had 1/4" to spare!!! We're real happy with it and wouldn't buy another RV unless it had one.

So sorry you bought a Samsung fridge. This is the exact same one we have in our camper. We found out, along with a lot of others, the fridge freezes up causing the fan to stop working causing the fridge to stop cooling. There is nothing you can do to prevent this, as we have tried everything, only to find out this is a thing with Samsung, per a professional repairman. You have to take apart the back panel, defrost the fan with hair dryer, etc. Put it back together and it will be fine for a month or so, then do it all over again.

Don't be sorry. Mine is a great 'fridge. I installed it 2 years ago and have never had a problem with it. ;)
