Replacement Fridge for Norcold N7LX 3F in 2022 Arctic Fox 990

Question

Question:

I have a Norcold N7LX 3F refrigerator in my 2022 Arctic Fox 990 truck camper. What refrigerators do you sell that will be an easy replacement? - 2 way 110v/LP - 12v Freon compressor refrigerators How many amp hours would a 12v compressor refrigerator consume in a day? I have 860 watts of solar and two Battleborn 100 amp-hour batteries.

Hey Jennings! We don’t currently carry any 2-way propane/AC combo models like your old Norcold, so if you want to go that route you will have to look around elsewhere and match up whatever you find to your existing cutout. For a 12V I recommend one of the following:

-Norcold Polar Full RV Refrigerator w Freezer - 8.2 Cu Ft - 12V - # NC73FR (Right Hand) or # NC63FR (Left Hand)

-Norcold Polar Full RV Refrigerator w/ Freezer – 9.7 cu ft – 12V – # NC56FR (Right Hand) or # NC29FR (Left Hand)

Both fridges have built-in battery savers and digital controls with standard compressor-type performance that’s more efficient and consistent than absorption. The 8.2 cu ft model fits a 23-1/2" wide x 52-7/8" tall x 24" deep cutout which is the same as your N7LX 3F. The larger 9.7 models fit a taller cutout that is 23-1/2" wide x 59-7/8" tall x 24" deep.

These cool in cycles, and there are different factors that come in to play with how much power they draw. Realistically, you can expect 60-90 Ah a day but it will depend on outside temp, insulation, how often you open them, etc. With that solar setup and those batteries you will be able to run the fridge pretty easily without completely draining your batteries.

Any big trips coming up with your 2022 Arctic Fox 990?

Hey Bob, The Norcold Polar #NC63FR does offer a larger interior space at 8.2 cubic feet, but the over all dimensions are the same between that and the older model. I know the #NC63FR has a built in vent at the top and clearance at the bottom that air…

Hey Chuck, the cut-out dimensions for the Vitrifrigo DP2600IXD4-F-3 refrigerator #VT96FR are 52.9 inches in height and 23.4 inches in width. The depth for a flush mount is 23.69 inches. Would that work in you RV?

Hey Jess, welcome back, and good question. Short answer, no, it’s not stated as a .02 absolute rating, and that’s the key distinction. Blu Tech lists the AR3 as a 0.2 micron filter, but they also clearly note that those micron claims are “based on…

Hey Alex, that’s exactly what the ARX+ Off-Grid #GB54FR is designed for. It has a built-in 12V pump and battery, so it can draw water from lakes, streams, or containers and run it through a 4-stage filtration system. No pressurized hookup needed. The…
