Gilles, me again.  Yes, there is this one <http://www.vwbusshop.de/epages/GuenzlClassicParts.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/GuenzlClassicParts/Products/%22255RM4181M%203%22>  I have one in my van that I brought back from Germany last year.  It fits right in there with no modifications of the cabinets.  You will either have the change the 220v heating element to a 110v one or get a 220v to 110v converter as I did.  Also, the propane fitting is not the same so I had to cut off the connection fitting and solder on one to mate up with the fitting in the van that connects to the OEM fridge.  Overall it's 100% better than the RM182B !  Bigger inside, easier to start on propane, keeps its cool on all three services ALL the time !  Since I am a dealer for Guenzl Classic Parts here in Canada I could look into getting one shipped over if you decide to go with this fridge.  Contact me privately.
