New Trojan Owner 11 Meter Question

Post by rolytrojan »

I just purchased a 11 Meter 1985 Convertible and it is missing the refrigerater. The size of the space is 34 H x 35 W. Any ideas in where I can buy these refrigerater or the brand name?

Look forward in chating and sharing pictures of my 11 meter project.

Thanks,
Roly

When we re-fridged I measured width, height and depth. My wife took the measurements to the local appliance store and they ordered us one that would fit the hole. Straight 120V house refrig....no need to look for a marine AC/DC fridge, they cost three times as much.

Try http://www.campingworld.com They carry Dometic and Norcold RV refridgerators. They will ship anywhere. Some of the models run on AC/DC. Some also run on LP. No need to pay extra for LP as that would not be wise to run on a boat :)

I have a friend with an 11 Meter, I think it's a 1984.

If I remember, she had a referigerator/freezer that was side by side, I think it was a stainless sub zero brand, but it's been a while.

You might try googling a few key words AND the dimensions.

Good Luck,

RWS

The de490 is the one on ebay and the standing bid is 478.00 and it looks like it is the closest and wouldnt look bad because it is all enclosed. I have a friend that works on applances he said it can be repaired might be $$$ but most parts will enter change with each other your local appliance repair parts house can get parts for it by cross referance other parts.

You might take a look at this sight they will build to the size you need for $$$$ and if you have a pitcher of what it looked like that is a plus. :arrow: http://www.sunfrost.com/refrigerator_cabinets.html the ones in the add under customization looks to be what your looking for .

I went on there web site and saw the custom fridge. I called for prices and very expensive.

I am waiting for the Miami boat show in two weeks and may find other options that may be less expensive. I will keep you posted.
