Re: Refrigerator

Funny Mark mentioned the Norcold, because mine replaced an old Norcold as well. Like he said, the fridge was shorter in height, but interior space was the same or more. Plus because it was shorter I was able to add a microwave above. The fridge fit the space well, but to seal things up you have to t...
