Right, the P22 unit had a true icebox. Looks just like the Dometic from
the outside, and it slides out and a Dometic slides right in it's place.
That is because the Dometic was optional elsewhere with that layout so
the kitchen cabinet is made for either to fit. That general layout has
advantages, like more living space. Here is one for sale with a photo of
the interior.
