gringostar Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Hello, I bought my 1986 Mini-Cruiser about a year and a half ago. It came with solar panels, an inverter, and a 115 v dorm refrigerator. The solar will only power the refrigerator in the day time. Obviously, the original refrigerator died and they replaced it with a dorm refrigerator. I really don't want to spend $500-$1000 for a new 3 way refrigerator. If I want just the 3 way refrigerator, it looks like It'll cost me $500 and if I want a freezer too, it'll cost me $820.00 Any other options? Thank you!!

jjrbus Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I bought a decent 2 way fridge off Craigslist for $225, it is the larger one with separate freezer. Of course it is used and always a gamble with used things. I see no reason to buy a 3 way fridge. Used ones seem to come up for sale fairly often and may be found in RV salvage yards.

I just looked on CL. The cheapest is $500 with no guarantee https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/rvs/d/dometic-rm2351-lp-and-110/6304809795.html There are some $1000 ones too: https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/app/d/rv-refrigerator-dometic-ndaway/6296915594.html I just hate Craigslist. So many liars. I prefer Ebay. Even Ebay/Paypal give you 60 day guarantee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Yes getting a deal takes time. Doesn't mean they aren't out there. This one might be gone and it's a bit of a drive but https://ventura.craigslist.org/for/d/rv-dometic-refrigerator/6253299916.html I would so rather buy one I can see and check to make sure it works than one that had to be shipped a long way.

Linda S Thank you. I'll check it out. Does it matter there is no freezer? Does anyone have a freezer on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That refrigerator has a freezer. See door inside at the top. Same as mine and I have Hagen das bars in mine right now. Yumm. Just noticed shelves are missing. They can be replaced.

jjrbus Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 If it works for $100 that is a buy and I would drive a long ways to get it. The door gaskets seem to go bad on them and are in the $100 plus range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek up North Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 There's not much point chasing a used fridge if it turns out it won't fit the space you have available. This might be a useful reference for you:- https://www.arprv.com/dometic-norcold-cross-reference.php The Dometic RM2400/RM2401/RM2410 are commonly fitted in Toyotas.
