Thanks, Richard.

Since I don't plan on going back to the Dometic I am thinking that I
can use my fridge door to make a drawer front that matches the other
drawer. All the grey trim is there so I'd just have to cut off the top
of the fridge door to get a piece with the two top radius corners and
then cut the same radius for the bottom corners. Wrap the trim around
the new cuts, make a face plate like yours and cut the hole for the
drawer front out of the bottom of the face plate and Bob's yer Uncle.

Anybody in the SF Bay Area want to buy a perfectly good Dometic 182B
with fan and air pump mods?
