Replacement fridge cost (2 Viewers)

[Manxcat]

I have a Friend in France who has elderly neighbours who are motorhomers. Their van is 20 years old and funds are limited. I know no more detail.

They have been quoted €3,000 to replace the fridge. Is this reasonable? It seems excessive to me. Any thoughts would be gratefully received.

Yes excessive. Aren't they about £800 to buy?

Depends on the fridge. Ours cost just over £1000 a few months ago and that is just an under counter one not one of the tall fridge/freezers.

I payed £2500 6 years ago fitted .but they could have a thetford for £1400 much better our friend has one even at 30degrees it was still keeping cool.zthe Thetford is a compressor so only runs on battery

What’s wrong with the fridge/freezer? If it’s 20+ years old it’s pretty simple and most likely can be repaired. Our van is 21years old and we have repeatedly been told not to worry it can be fixed. That’s in Lancashire, Kent and Morocco. I’ve also fixed things myself. Just a thought.

The Thetford ones seem to be about £1000 cheaper than the Dometic.
