Dometic CRX-1110E cracked inside

Last year in June I ordered a Dometic CRX-1110E/F from Boat and RV Accessories (boatandrvaccessories.com). It arrived and I replaced the failed refrigerator with it. Last Thanksgiving, I went to use it to store extra items that would not fit our house refrigerator and noticed a crack in the floor. In December, I contacted Dometic and was told I needed to take it to a service location. Dometic gave me a list of service locations. One of them, Shaw RV of NC is not very far from me. I made an appointment, and finally was able to get that appointment today, February 18th. The service manager took information, took a picture of the crack, and the receipt information.

Update: I got a call from Shaw RV  saying the new refrigerator has arrived.  I have an appointment to take it in to get the refrigerator changed next week. The reason for using Shaw RV is that they are a Dometic service center and close to us. Even though they are not an RPod dealer, they have been very helpful, first for the axle, and now for this.

No, it is the roughly the same size as the original. In fact, it is a bit shorter, but deeper, so I had to build a platform to fill the excess space. I could have filled it in on the top end, but raising it means not having to stoop over quite so far to get things out.

It is one of the reasons I upgraded the power in my 179 to the 200AH LIFePO4 battery. I only have a 100W solar panel. I need to increase my solar capability. However, I do carry a generator and can use it to recharge if we are boondocking. With the compressor refrigerator, it does get colder much faster and is able to keep things cool even when it gets hot outside. It does, as you state, come at the cost of sacrificing the extended boondocking capability of the propane option. However, we have found that we are able to work with it for the boondocking we have done. Most often, that is overnights. Occasionally, it involves more than one day, but not that often.
