Question Wine storage in a Newmar?

[TJ&LadyDi]

Has anyone installed a small (12-18 bottles) wine cooler in their Newmar DP? We're looking for a better way to properly store wine in the coach when on the road. We have a larger wine cooler for the sticks-and-bricks, and I know they make some smaller units. Now, we just need to find a place to put it. And, as all coach owners know, there isn't any "extra" storage space in these beasts.

If you've found a creative way to do this in your coach, I'd love to see a photo or two.

Store wine? who wants to store it?

There is only one line plumbed so far and that’s the Guinness keg.

Yeah, but that means you have too go outside to get a bottle of wine.

No, you could add a water wine pump and water wine pump controller. Easy enough. Contact @Chuggs for wiring instructions.

I'm not sure how small of a cooler you could find that could go in the coach depending where you want to put it. For basement options (aka wine cellar) if you don't have a Dometic cooler you could do the same type of setup but instead with a smaller wine cooler. Just need a 120V outlet which is easy to add as I did my own and then place in basement. Not sure a slideout tray is needed but you could go to the same place I got mine, the provider of Newmar trays, and see what's in their catalog that fits or get a custom one made if that's an option.

I should have known this was gonna be an uphill battle. Maybe it is time to start looking at Newells.

We do have the CF-80 on a slideout tray, but was hoping to find a way to put a small cooler inside the coach. They make them as small as 6" wide (6 bottles single-stacked) but I was hoping to find space for a 12" wide.

Stacker trailer could be a cost effective alternative. You could even have it painted "Pinot Express" or some gorgeous vineyard scenery??
