Ready to ditch that fire hazard old RV fridge? Discover how to upgrade to a safer, modern marine compressor fridge. Join us for a humorous yet essential guide on revolutionizing your refrigeration system at a fraction of the cost you would expect. In this video we remove an old Norcold absortion style refrigerator in our Beaver Class A motorhome and replace it with a Dometic compressor style marine refrigerator, for an amazing cost of $650 CAD. WARNING: At the 2:36 minute mark of this video I explain two options for sealing an abandoned propane line. Please disregard my suggestion that you could use a flat plug with the proper gas tape. This is incorrect, this technique could lead to propane gas escaping - it is potentially dangerous. The correct method is to use a flared fitting as I illustrated in this video.
