The Norcold N15DC is close to the Dometic RM1350 in cabinet height and width, but the standard RM1350 absorption-refrigerator enclosure is substantially deeper. This conversion can be practical when the opening is carefully measured and the unused rear space is managed according to the N15DC installation requirements.
This page covers the standard RM1350 enclosure. Dometic lists the RM1350SL with a different enclosure depth. Confirm the complete model suffix on the refrigerator label before comparing measurements.

Difference to plan for
Dometic RM1350
63 3/16 × 32 3/4 × 26 1/16 in.
Existing absorption-refrigerator recess; deeper than the N15DC requirement.
Norcold N15DC
63.25–63.38 × 32.69–32.82 × 24 in.
Needs at least 1/16 in. more height, similar width and about 2 1/16 in. less usable depth.
Height and width
The RM1350's 32 3/4-inch opening width falls within the N15DC range. The old height is 63 3/16 inches, while N15DC starts at 63 1/4 inches, so an opening built exactly to the old specification is 1/16 inch too short.
Rear depth and baffle
N15DC is designed around a 24-inch-deep enclosure. Norcold advises using a full-width, full-height solid rear box baffle to establish the 24-inch depth when an enclosure is deeper than 25 inches.
N15DC refrigerators to compare
These options share the same N15DC enclosure family. Product capacity does not remove the need to verify the cabinet, mounting points, door clearance and electrical system.
