Hello: I put my full size in through the side window that opens (Prevost) blanket on window ledge, couple of guys, went right in. I allowed it to set on the floor 24 hours (to re-settle Freon) before plugging in. No problems. Also have small fridge and ice maker in bay to reduce kitchen traffic when entertaining. Gerry H

A few years back, the 10 cubic foot apartment size refrigerator was the rage.  That's what I use, and it is much better than the RV refer.  Mine draws 1.5 amps, and is plenty big for our needs.  A Sanyo stainless steel model.

Check out Summit refrigerators. They make 24" wide, tall refrigerators. Only thing-they need to be vented from the back since the radiator is typically in the back.
I use the 9.0cu/ft NovaKool that is 12v/120. Pulls 5.5amps on 12v-runs about 40% of the time so about 2amp overall draw. I like it since the compressor is in the front and vents out the bottom. Very quiet (but not cheap). Good Luck, TomC

   Me too.  Love it.  (mine is about 8.5 cu ft, but similar otherwise).
