Dometic 153 litre compressor fridge

Our standard Dometic absorption fridge died and we needed a replacement. Dometic no longer make the old fridge and replacements have different dimensions. After talking with Dometic they recommended the RUC5208X compressor based fridge as there were least alterations ( still needed to drop the floor 100mm and enclose the side surround by 30mm). We are very happy with finished product, compressor noise is minimal and it chills down very rapidly from a warm start. Can highly recommend the fridge and CRC service assistance.
