Fridge in westy

[Simon james]

So can somebody tell me the best option for replacing my fridge in 1981 westy and yes i want to keep the original look from the westy . I mean i dont want to remove the original door and destroy the westy look
It doesnt have to work on gas for me
Is the fridge from just kampers an option
Thanks guys for your advice

A few years back i replaced my dead Electrolux with a Dometic RM 4181M....this is a little larger in depth but gave a very usable 40L cap. Till recently i've been living with it being visible having removed the original door, but now i've managed to get it far enough back to allow me to just about engineer a way to refit the original outer door. If you go for an RM123 (£369 from obrienscamping) or the JK one (£249) you won't have such an issue but you will in terms of mounting the door in order to get the original look.......it's had me scratching my head.
You might have a slightly better chance of success in mounting the door with the Dometic RM123....but it is small, i can see why folks go for the JK model, an extra 4L for £120 less.
I didn't bother with fitting the gas in the end, as it meant cutting new holes in the side of the van, something you'd have to think of as well.

Thanks for getting back to me Sounds like alot of headaches
I was thinking just kampers might be ago as im not keen on the idea of cutting holes for gas
Otherwise its going to be a chilly bin coolbox for now .
Is your westy from 1981 ?
Im also looking for the original front seats .Hard to find
Anyway thanks for the info and send me a photo of your fridge cupboard alteration
