​My 2013 16’ Scamp standard Layout 4 had the large Dometic RM2410 installed in the cabinet designed as a closet. The original owners must have requested this modification because, according to the Scamp specs, this refrigerator is only available in the 16’ Deluxe model. I have a rivet issue with that cabinet and have come to the conclusion that placing the refrigerator in the closet is compromising the structure of the trailer in that location and consequently caused the cabinet to pull from the ceiling breaking the rivets (only two rivets hold the entire cabinet to the ceiling). Not surprising when oneconsiders that the refrigerator weighs at least 78 pounds and is installed into a cabinet designed to be a closet.

In the original specs the RM2193RB Dometic refrigerator is located in the cabinet next to the stove, which is at a lower center of gravity and also weighs at least 35 pounds less. I want to replace the refrigerator, but not sure if I should put the smaller one in the closet or where it belongs, which is below and to the left of the stove. I may not have a choice because the trailer has all the venting installed and side panels cut out for the larger fridge. I would have to patch and repair the side of the trailer by door, or maybe I could just leave the vent on the outside and seal it off inside the closet.  Then I’d have a faux vent :)

Has any one else experienced an issue like this or have any suggestions or comments?
