DEAD REFRIGERATOR!!!

[Ryan Wright]

Liz,

I just replaced my fridge. Literally started the new one up last night.

My opinion: Just replace it. pplmotorhomes.com has the best deals
going for just about any fridge. My new Norcold N841 was only $1035
plus shipping. It cools real nice, too. I'm very pleased with it.

I understand not wanting to buy another one of these. Trust me, I
agonized over the decision for months, to the point of considering
buying a newer, all-electric Bird with the full size house fridge,
etc. In the end, I'm glad I bought the Norcold. Maybe I'll be singing
a different tune in a few years but for now, it's working real nice
and looks great. I couldn't find a house fridge that looked nice, fit
in the same spot and provided a similar amount of interior space, and
I've heard fun stories about folks having to use bungee cords to hold
the doors closed on some of these. Hey, to each his own, but bungee
cords holding my fridge shut just doesn't appeal to me.

Even if I had found one, I'd be into it for more money by the time I
bought several new batteries with which to keep it powered while
boondocking - and sure, I might have to replace the stupid fridge
after several years, but I'd have to replace the batteries on about
the same schedule, so am I really ahead? I figured not.
