Question:
Is there an adaptor for the 12vdc hookup? We will be plugged in to shore power for camping. We absorption fridge now but tired of fighting to keep it cool when the temps rise about 85. We have an AC outlet in the back of the current fridge is now. Our camper is a 2021 Apex 265RBSS.

Hey Craig!
No, there is not an adapter that will convert the Norcold Polar Full RV Refrigerator w Freezer - 8.2 Cu Ft - 12V - Stainless Steel - Left Hand Doors # NC63FR to AC power, so instead you will need a fridge that has a 120V plug in order to safely power this fridge in your Apex 265RBSS. We do not have this model in 120V, but the Norcold Polar N7X RV Refrigerator - 7 Cu Ft - AC/LP # NC96VR has the same cutout specifications (23-1/2"W x 52-7/8" T x 24"D), so it will work in place of the # NC63FR.
The # NC96VR is able to run on either AC power or LP gas power so you won't need the fridge to rely on your battery while you're not connected to shore power, and that will in turn keep your fridge cool even on those warmer days. You will be able to plug directly into your 120V power outlet in your 2021 Coachmen Apex 265RBSS with this fridge.
What model of fridge are you replacing in your trailer? How often are you using the camper?
