Steve,
This is a derivative of the model we are looking at. We like a flush front with no ice/dispenser. This particular model fits our opening exactly double check measurements of your opening......RF24R7201SR. In this video look at the lifting handles that lock the freezer and flex space. With some creative metal working one could make a lock tabs for the french doors kinda like the Amana that came from Newell with. https://youtu.be/NTX98U5wumQ

so had a repair person come out actually 2 of them. fridge going to come out tomorrow. Going to be a full replacement due to price to repair verse replacing is only about 300.00.
If anyone needs parts/drawers/other pieces for this fridge let me know. send me a PM. If anyone else know what counter depth fridge will go in this coach let me know, otherwise investigation begins and I will let everyone know on our outcome.

As a side note about Samsung Refrigerators, to put in your memory banks.....Be on the lookout for late model Samsungs that either the Freezer section is not freezing or the fridge section is not cooling properly. One section is working properly but the other is not....they are known to have a bad batch of evaporator fans (either section) very easy replacement for $125. You might find someone that wants to get rid of it and not mess with fixing it for some reason.

Thank you guys for all the info. I have given away all the spare parts off the old fridge to a few users on the site.. but for all you guys out there needing to replace your old 2 door amana fridge. Here is a great fit. Fits right in the hole , you have to take that locking board off the top but after you get it in just crank up the wheels and it will stay in place with the header board ( we added a few small braces to the bottom). WHIRLPOOL MODEL # WRS571CIHZOO. WATER AND ICE IN DOOR, COUNTERDEPTH, STAINLESS, AND PULLS LESS AMPS. Just a fyi for anyone looking to have to do it. And if you take the doors off it will fit right thru the side door.

Adam, thanks for the follow up and the info.

Just a note since you went with a whirlpool, on our unit you can turn it off by pressing the power button on the front door for 3 seconds BUT if you have a power interruption or unplug shore power and plug it back in it will come on automatically not good if your rig is in storage and leave the door open.

I have the fixed bench dinette across from the mid entry door. I can't remove the bench on the dinette because the basement air evaporator unit is in it. I can cut the old Amana in half to get it out but not sure if a simliar size new fridge will make this turn.

Hi Frank,
Straight or curved steps?
Have you taken the doors off the Amana? They have to come off, and same with new fridge going in.
Rather than get in a bind holding a refrigerator, if you are concerned, make a full size mockup with cardboard and practice.
Last resort is take out passenger windshield and use that opening.
