I am in the process of removing an icebox and installing an Isotherm Cruiser 130L refrigerator. My only question is in order to install the top vent I need to cut one of the aluminum frame pieces (see arrow) in order to remove the outside skin in that area. Is it ok to do this...I don't imagine I could just score the skin in that area on peel it off somehow.

No need to cut the frame. I just removed the skin and mounted fans to the frame. Good luck with your install.

There is the wiring for the 120v and 12v in place behind where the icebox was, but they are not hot. FWC said something about maybe they weren't yet hooked up to the circuit breaker panel; the problem is how to I remove the panel to look for the missing wires that need to be attached to the terminal block? I don't see an access door. Will keep poking around.

I have an Eagle not sure if it is the same... So bear that in mind. I just installed an Isotherm 65 . It is on page two of the FWC site. I found the wires to the fridge coiled up in the cab. above the heater below the sink. Remove drawer and look with flash light. When I hooked up the fridge wires they were dead... went to the fuse box and removed the front panel... 6 empty slots...so I just kept on putting in fuses in each slot and opening the fridge to see light! Bingo. The 120 V and the other DC12 V wires I dealt with by relocating the DC ones and capping the 120 V ones for later use ?
