Hey Bill!

I found that your Norcold N412 is approximately 36-9/16" tall x 23-11/16" wide x 24" deep, so I compared those dimensions with the refrigerators we currently carry.

The closest option based on height alone is the Vitrifrigo RV Refrigerator # VT84FR, which measures 36-7/16" tall x 16-7/16" wide x 19-1/4" deep. It is only 1/8" shorter than your N412, but it is about 7-1/4" narrower and 4-3/4" shallower. Because of that, it would likely require some trim or cabinet work to properly fill the existing opening.

The closest overall match to the N412 is the Vitrifrigo DRW180A RV Refrigerator and Freezer # VT37RR. It measures 34-11/16" tall x 26-1/4" wide x 23-1/2" deep. Compared with your N412, it is about 1-7/8" shorter, 2-9/16" wider, and only 1/2" shallower. It is the closest match we offer when considering all three dimensions together, although the cabinet opening would need to be widened to accommodate it. It is also considerably more expensive than the # VT84FR.

One other thing to keep in mind is that these Vitrifrigo models are 12V compressor refrigerators, so they are not direct 3-way replacements for the N412 and the installation requirements will be different.

Since your refrigerator is installed under the counter, what are the actual height, width, and depth of the cabinet opening? If you can provide those measurements, I can compare them directly with our refrigerators and see which option will require the least modification.
