2018 Vegas Refrigerator out the Door?

Anyone ever remove or install the Norco refrigerator in their Vegas or Axis? Curious if it will pass through the RV entrance door. Both and Frig measure about the same width.

Taking the doors and hinges off the fridge should get it through the door.

Most RV entrance doors are the same width and the norcold can be taken out but some disassembly is required. Usually removing the doors so it can go out sideways. Getting a residential in, if that's the plan, may be an issue depending on what you select. Back to the entrance door, if it has a strut or such, removing that may preclude having to remove the entire door of the RV. I recently replaced the fridge in the GFs 5th wheel, a Dometic, and that's what I did.

Got it out

Got the refrigerator out the door. Had to force it a little as the plastic edging of the refrigerator measures 24" and the door frame was 23 1/2 but the plastic gave enough to pop it our the door. Another 1/4" and there would have been problems. Upgrading to a Norcold 2 way 10 cu.ft. (replacing the smaller 6 cu.ft. Had to modify the cabinet above the frig as the new one is 7" taller but all working out.

More details, please. I really like the idea.
