RED BAY, AL TIFFIN SERVICE CENTER. UPGRADES

Anyone familar with the Rving Industry and others certainly know the saga of the Norcold Refrigerators that are installed in most motorhomes. There is a design flaw in them that has caused many motorhome and RV fires. It is way too technical to go into on my part. Many articles exist on the internet. Our Norcold was frosting up and not keeping things cold. Repairing it was not even an option in light of their history. We decided to up grade to a Residential Style Refrigerator. This also required changing out our invertor in order for the refrigerator to work. I am so thrilled with the new refrigertor it is way better than any refrigerator I had in our brick and sticks home. Below are pictures of the old and now our new.

Getting the old one out and the new one was a major accomplishment. It required removal of the window, the same one that came out for the washer and dryer.

We also decided to add a dishwasher. This was a major decision that I wrestled with for over a year. It meant giving up precious storage space but in the end I am so glad I did. Fisher & Paykel make a drawer type dishwasher and it went it under the stove top.

Old Space that I lost for the dishwasher. Located under stove top.

New Stainless Steel look finish. What a joy. It is so quiet and only useds less than 2 gallons of water. I love it.

Welcome To Our Blog. A Record of Our Journey

A personal account of our life as RV'ers. Workamping, our way around the country. Seeing and doing exactly what we want, when we want and how we want. We travel in a "new to us" 2007 Allegro Bus 42' Motor Home made by Tiffin Motor Homes located in Red Bay, AL. Traveling along with us is our very spoiled beagle. Simon, who also does what he wants,when he wants and above all how he wants.
