Yeah, the slowing down mean you have to get it right the first time, can't have the first 3 or 4 blow up till you get it right .....
That satellite launch showed just how smoothly they have developed the whole thing now ..... just hope the rock heading for a low orbit pass doesn't take a heap of them out and add even more space junk up there.

they say they have developed space lasers that could take out satellites, surelt they could use them to take out a heap on the space junk up there ...

Well we didn't get that Hisense fridge. It's a bit too tall for the existing opening and it opens the wrong way and isn't convertible. I also seem to have misplaced all my info on exactly what is in the back of, and above the existing cabinetry.
There are a couple of options available, and I'll check them out when we get back from our upcoming trip down south.
Cheers

Dave I looked up the measurements of that fridge & compared it to those for my 3 way fridge.
I didn't say anything because I have no idea what model you have.
Mine is a RM2553 Electrolux which I'm pretty sure is the Dometic.
My fridge is mounted above a drawer that is very deep.... saucepan cupboard?

I made the New microwave fit
This fridge was taller. Than the pie warmer 😄 but I could go down and inch or so and re fabricated the top and bought a smaller microwave in height than the old one...we don't use the microwave it's for resale only.
I don't know what your cabinet looks like... maybe a picture Dave

Here's mine. I changed the door to where it is now.

Nice job Bernie.

Now that you've fixed the brakes. Just be careful that fridge door doesn't swing open and whack you in the ear. :!:

Hi Bernie
I couldn’t pick up any where from past posts the size of the inverter you used for your CHiQ fridge. Did the fridge ended up been an inverter compressor type?
Thanks

Inverter is a 1500 with remote on and Off it runs the fridge without any problem
But that's All it runs.
We don't use a lot of power. We cook with gas.
It was sold to me as an inverter..but Jon has told me it's just soft start...me bring me says... that's the same.
You can't hear it running.
Bernie.

Would the CHiQ start/run off the smaller size inverter often mentioned (300/600 watt) ?
When mains 240v available, do you unplug from inverter and use mains or just leave mains to charge battery and continue to use inverter ?
Our three way refuses to work on our sloped driveway so just looking at options
Thanks
