I was unhappy with the original Waeco front opening fridge in my Bav V 40-poorly insulated, ran too much. It was a second fridgeand not really necessary. I replaced it with a freezer from Isotherm. It's front opening and fit the original space almost perfectly. It keeps contents frozen 'rock hard' makes ice for happy hour and uses less battery power than the Waeco. A terrific upgrade.

Hi

Top of panel.
There is small slide of plywood.
Two small screw drilled to the wooden front rail. Heads of screws works like stoppers.  (blue)

Foot of panel. Original original plastic corners are used.
All 3 pcs are their original positions. 
Centermost of those. I drilled small screw through of bottom panel... (blue)

Panel is now easy to remove and attach again.
