Our "New to Us" Winnie

Or, you could just measure the available gap, prior to purchase and buy one appropriate to the size. Just sayin'

We had the usual winnie mini door so we had to put out new couch / bed in through the passenger door but had to take the front seat out. .

Terry, the main limiting factor is being able to get the fridge into the motorhome. The doorway width is the telling factor. All of the caravan/motorhome fridges I have looked at have reversible door hinges, but quite a lot of the domestic ones aren't.
Most of the bottom mount ones are too wide to get through a Winnebago doorway.

How wide is your doorway Dave? This one will just fit through our 550mm door width, has reversible doors, bottom mount freezer, but the height means the drawer under the fridge will have to go

Be exact with your measurements!
Mine is 3mm under 550.
I think if you remove the outsider rubber seal/ cover there are screws you can remove & then a fer inside screws & then the door frame can be taken out. Might give you another 8-10cm?

Must be a common size door frame Bruce. The fridge freezer is 540mm wide, the gap between the dinette and kitchen benchtop beside the lounge, is also 550, yet the 3 way Electrolux fridge/freezer is 590mm wide .... so that will require the washing machine treatment to get it through the kitchen bench widest point and the dinette and then out the door ..... we will need to get creative in the way we position the lounge during the fridge swap over to get the full access to that narrow hallway entrance, there is only 480mm clearance between the arm of the lounge and dinette ....

Where in the information does it say it's an inverter compressor?

[BruceS]

Ask Bernie?
Pretty sure he has that one.
He has had it for quite some time

10yr warranty on the compressor is usual for inverter types.
Bernie has a device to measure consumption. Imediate & long term.
He also told me the unit has never woke him in the middle of the night when it kicks in.
Might bebecause of his home made brew tho? Lol.

Ah, you're right Bruce.

I'm guessing the 231ltr bottom mount isn't inverter tech. We could get the 255ltr into the spot, but Margaret wants a bottom mount fridge ..... and I know better than to argue with her about it
