Scamp 16 and Refrigerator questions

Those who may have a late model 16 standard, I've noticed that layout 3,4,5 have the small, floor height refrigerator, is that right? If a larger frig option is available, does this requre a re-location to the other galley, curb side, similar to layouts 6,7?

Also, I've noticed that some 16's have a "chimney" on the roof for their frig while other refrigerators do not appear to have this. Is anyone up to speed on these kinds of curiousities? Much appreciate the intel. Thank you.

The "chimney" indicates the larger fridge. I believe any layout can have either fridge (or even an icebox), but the larger fridge is always installed curbside next to the door. The smaller fridge is located streetside in layouts 3-5 and curbside in layouts 6-7, with the same side exhaust vent.

Scamp 16 and Refrigerator questions

Top picture has the small fridge curbside; therefore it must be a side dinette model. It looks like I can just make out a large front window, indicating layout 7.

Bottom picture has the large fridge. Since it also has a large front window, HW heater, and slinky stinky hose holder, it's probably layout 4.

Curious where this line of questioning is going…?

Just trying to verify the connection the roof chimney with the large refrigerator, that's all. Not trying to solve world peace or find the cure for cancer.

Just something I noticed and wondered about, that's all. It is logical to consider a larger refrigerator generates more heat and must be vented differently.

Consider it confirmed.

I don't know if it HAS to be done this way but the more direct route for the airflow, the better.

Remember that the larger fridge (RM2410) does NOT run off 12 volts, only 120 volts AC and Propane. It is supposed to keep colder longer than the smaller fridge. My limited experience is that this depends how how full it it. If you have enough mass inside then it stays cold for the typical daily drive, but if near empty and/or its a hot day, then it will warm faster.

Also the RM2410 has a small freezer section that actually keeps a small amount of food pretty well frozen, which was a bit of a surprise to me.

Lastly I was not sure at first if the RM2410 required 12 volts for the controls as some of the fridges do, but apparently not. It seems to run fine on propane even with no battery or shore power on my Scamp. Thats a good thing. (Although I am not 100% that the thermostat still functions).

Check out MY PHOTOS of the RM2410 in a Scamp 16 Layout 4.

Fantastic. Thank you very much Gordon. Loved the photos. Liked to have seen the opposite side, the street side of the coach as well. What floor plan?

Anyhow, thank you very, very much. Quite helpful.

A few more pics at HERE but I don't know how helpful they will be since all the cushions and such have been removed for winter storage.
