How Do I Get the ICEBOX out?

The Shastas have nails that hold them in and are hidden. They nail in from the top and bottom wood styles and the nails are hidden so you can't see them from either side of the wood. I used a sawzall to cut them with. Once you get it free from the styles you can start rocking it out and you will have to either cut the drain tube or get it disconnected to get the ice box out.

I did a video on this recently because of the refrigerator installation I did on my Shasta but I haven't uploaded it yet. I'll start that upload next on the list. Just finished one for Jody and now I have to do one for the Kenskill. Just take a butter knife and slip it in and run it back and forth between the fridge top and bottom and the wood styles surrounding it and you will find where the nails are.

The drain can be a bit of a bugger but if  you tilt the icebox out at the top many times it will just pull loose. I had no nails in the sides, they were just in the top and bottom. Doesn't mean yours will be the same though LOL.

Doesn't look so bad

I'm keeping the icebox. I still haven't gotten it out but I cut the cardboard and took a look at the insulation. I'm going to re-insulate it.

I considered the Norcold marine fridge that will fit in the icebox place and was about to click the button when my husband found this:
www.homedepot.com/p/Avanti-1-7-cu-ft-Superconductor-Mini-Refrigerator-in-Stainless-Steel-with-AC-DC-Adapter-SHP1712SDCIS/203464659

I actually found it on another site cheaper. It takes refrigerant used in auto ac's and has no compressor. No freezer. It will plug in to the cargo compartment on my Jeep and then I could put it in my closet of the camper if I wanted to.

The Avanti 1.7 cu. ft. AC/DC Superconductor Refrigerator (SHP1712SDC-IS) provides 1.7 cu. ft. of refrigeration capacity with quiet thermoelectric cooling technology. Features Dual Power Option, 115V AC or 12V DC power, with included 12v adapter. The unit uses R134A refrigerant, but has no compressor, allowing quiet operation while performing as efficiently as a compressor would, while featuring auto-defrosting technology. You get all the functionality you deserve, with all the features you would expect in a premium refrigerator. It has an adjustable thermostat, a reversible door, and the door shelf even fits a 2 liter bottle.

Ideally designed for use in hotels, dormitories, office spaces, boats, and RV's
One 12 Volt adapter included
Soft interior light with on/off switch
Free standing installation only

Hm, the Avanti SusieQ mentions sounded so good that I went online to get some reviews. There seem to be quite a few with complaints that it didn't run on DC even after replacing the power cords, and several people said it didn't really keep their food cold. Multiple complaints about dents when having it shipped so if you could find it at HD, you would decrease your chances of having that issue!
I'll be waiting to see if anyone here has GOOD things to say before I buy one...but the price is sure better than the marine fridge, by quite a lot.

There was no way my icebox was coming out without tearing out or taking the part of the cabinet. The only place it is attached is in the front to the cabinet. I took the cardboard off (yes it smelled of mouse pee) and took the insulation out (I still itch) even though it did not look bad. I made walls for it out of foam insulation with foil backing and sealed it with foil duct tape. I don't know if it will keep things cold, but it sure looks good and it's nice and clean. Here's some pics:

This is what's underneath the cardboard.


It was sitting on the insulation in the back. Not secured with anything. But believe me, it wasn't going anywhere!



This board that looks like a ladder was underneath the icebox, not secured to anything. The cardboard that was under the icebox didn't even touch the boards.  I slide them out before I removed the cardboard and insulation.



Here's the space after the cardboard and insulation was removed:





And here it is now:
