well i actually thought about the 12v option, and o honestly dont think that i need it... and as far as the fridge itself is concerned i think i found a great pull out fridge that might work, but i just want to make sure that i can get it through the door

vitality, when you pull the seat cushion out (give it a good yank) the legs are attached to it which gives support to the front edge. The back is still on the framework.

oo...well that explains a lot about the couch... also explains a set of inconspicuous legs that are just laying in the storage bin under the couch... i figured those were supposed to go there lol... when i get back imana figure out a way to attach them but thanks

I just replaced my fridge - the orginal Summit had a defrost timer issue - i.e. - it would not automatically defrost. This caused the coils in the freezer compartment to get all iced up after about a week, after which my wife would manually defrost the thing with a hair dryer. It was a royal pain!

I even tried a timer that would shut off the fridge for 1 out of every 8 hours - to try and simulate the defrost timer - helped a little but not alot.

Since I was in the water, and was not willing to pop that big hatch - after removing the doors, I used a sawzall to cut 6" all the way around the front. Not a lot of fun, but didn't take me but an hour. Then the hulk that was left slipped right through the salon door. I made sure not to cut the tubing and am waiting for a company to come and extract the freon so I can take the carcass to the dump.

I found a 4.1 cubic foot Magic Chef at Home Depot, with a decent separate top freezer - that was 1/8" narrower that the door opening. Bought that on sale for like $150 - slipped right in.

Since it was smaller and narrower, I built a shelf to lift it higher, and gave me 4 shelves along the side.

Here are some pictures of the old fridge out after cutting and the new one in before I built my shelf unit.

oo wow that setup is actually kinda nice, but mine is a tad bit different, my fridge is where your sink is and the stove is where the fridge is... i would have to cut the counter top to get a full refrigerator down in there... and to do that i would have to somehow make a support for the leftovers on the right hand side since there are 2 electrical outlets that are mounted to it...

when i get back ill effeminately give it a shot thou, for now im just doing homework

thanks for the input
