The challenge is, there is no fridge that is as shallow as the Dometic.
I recall the bottom depth of the Westy fridge cavity is around 15 inches
or so.

Without putting a ton of thought into this, it sounds like a fridge that

could slide out like a home trash compactor would work pretty well and
keep
the appearance?  Maybe one of the alternatives that Vince researched on
sliders with a faux cabinet to keep the original look?

There has been some recent discussions on the ideal fridge set up for
Westy/Vanagon. Many expressed the desired to have a top load as the cold
air does not drop out when you open the door. I was interest in how to
improve the fridge performance while able to maintain the stock
appearance and floor plan of the Westy.
