Installing a Residential Refrigerator in a RV

This is not click bait by any means. I struggled to even make this video because I am ashamed of my mistake. But I figured it might help at least one other person out there and well the damage was already done. On this 2005 Jayco Greyhawk, the owner asked me to fix the Norcold model N841 or replace it with a 120vac only residential unit. As the repair, new cooling unit, was the much more expensive option, they opted for a 120vac "mini" frig, Haier model ha10tg21ss. The swap was very easy, but I destroyed it when I put a lock on the front of the unit by running a screw through a hidden refrigerant line. So I made this video to explain what happened and what not to do.
Also, I do know a stick on child-safety strap can work, I still think they look bad and can fail.
Thanks for watching!

You are correct! The line around the door is a high pressure "hi side" line used to keep the door frame warm to stop condensation or "sweat" around the doors. Common on a lot of newer commercial reach in units. It eliminates the added cost of an electric element and control.

I dont remember how many post loop electric heater kits I installed in my 38 years as an HVAC and refrigeration tech. Those factory condenser loops have a real issue leaking. I used to use my vacum pump to pull a electric string heater through the loop and connect to defrost timer so it would turn on the heater when compressor ran.

If the owners like both finishes just add it to the invoice as they certainly got the job done well eventually 😉 Your honesty serves you credit and I feel more confidence in your style of business than ever.

I was wondering about that myself I just bought the same model and will install it next week. The manufacturer claims that the fridge is not designed for RV or garage use because it is designed to operate at temps between 40-85 degrees F. Also they recommended 5 inches of clearance on each side. So I was thinking that it while operating it might get too hot inside an enclosed area and not function properly.

Wish I had this info before - I spent over $800 getting a RV fridge fixed 2 years ago on a travel trailer - could have put in a fridge like the one you had for $500, and it would have worked better. Traded that trailer in for a larger one with slides. Now we are repairing the slide floor because of an improperly installed seal on the front bottom corner of the slide. Once that's done we are going to rent it out until Summer and trade it in on a class A Diesel pusher. Looking for a used Beaver, Monaco, or Tiffen 40 - 45' coach for later next year. I have watched all the videos and feel more informed then before. We had a motorhome rental business in Michigan years ago renting 21 - 30' class C motorhomes. It seems that the 2002 - 2007 class A coaches are better built then some of the newer ones. we are planning on going full time when we get the Class A.

Hey, if you’re not messing up every now and then you’re not working. It’s kind of like, if your not using both hands you’re not working. We ALL screw up every now and then. The important thing is you learn from your mistakes, and you have enough dignity and humbleness to pass that information along to others so they can avoid making the same mistake. Thank you for that. More importantly, you were HONEST enough to not pass the extra cost on to your customer. And you easily could have as it was their decision to install an appliance you and your company were not familiar with. I’ve dealt with companies who will say up front they will not take responsibility for any mistakes made while dealing with items they are not familiar with or don’t normally deal with on a day to day basis. Which is somewhat understandable but not necessarily fair. And top all of that off with I think you just saved me a ton of cash as i will be needing to replace my old absorption refrigerator sooner than later and I’ve been considering doing the cooling unit myself, but now I know that a residential refrigerator will fit my travel trailer and what model. We NEVER boondock, and are always plugged in when we camp so this fridge will be on the list. And like you said, a solar panel or two and a converter, and you’re in business if we do boondock. Great video. Sorry it cost you money out of pocket.

What a heartbreaker. I live full-time in a 2014 sprinter wide body 299RET. It is and has been stationary for 6 years. In 2020, I ditched the Dometic and installed the exact same fridge you have there, the 9.8 cf. Haire. Since I'm stationary, there's no need to install the travel door lock so, I did not puncture the new fridge. I did however do something similar to a brand new 10k btu winow a/c. I had to remove and re-install the sheet metal case for fitment issues and punctured a refrigerant line with a case screw doing so. Expensive lesson. I no longer use battery impacts or screw guns on brand new expensive appliances. Cheers!

This definatley helps to make an informaed decision. I have a 3 month old Norcold DC10SS 12 Volt which failed. Norcold said to replace it. Not for $1500. Norcold knows they are junk and still installs them. Can be purchased direct from China for $200 plus shipping. Since I do not use the microwave I think I can get this fridge that you used and plug into the microwaves outlet which is a 15 amp location and let her eat. Thanks!

I used to work for a guy that always said if you don’t screw up once in a while you must not be doing anything. You’re good!!!

Thanks for sharing. I learn a ton watching your videos. I am planning to get a Diesel pusher in a year or so when I retire and so I need to know what to look for in used units. Big fan!

I'm getting the same fridge in a week to replace my Norcold fridge that doesn't work real well here in Florida. Thanks for the video, reinforces my thinking that I'm doing the right thing.
