Does Everchill Refrigerator # 324-000119 Require Outside Venting and Will it Replace Dometic Fridge

Question:

Being that this fridge doesnt run off of propane, does it need to be mounted to a wall that faces outside for venting purposes? Can it be mounted against a garage wall in a toy hauler or does it still require an outside vent? Also does this fit inside a 8cu dometic gas/electric fridge space?

Electric refrigerators like the Everchill Refrigerator for RVs # 324-000119 that you referenced do require air flow but they do not need to vent to the outside of the RV/house. You can mount it against a toy hauler garage wall like you mentioned but the back vents need a few inches of space to properly vent.

I looked up the dimensions of a Dometic RV fridge with 8 cubic feet of storage space and it measures 26 inches deep, 61 inches tall, and 24-7/8 inches wide. Based on that the Everchill fridge # 324-000119 would fit and work well as it's dimensions are just slightly smaller.
