You may want to look into 12 volt compressor coolers (NOT thermoelectric coolers), to just supplement the stock fridge.  No modifications necessary.  Discussion on the thread below:

Take measurements.. at least owner on the FB group removed the microwave and modified the cabinet to do this.. then found the bigger fridge wouldn't go in the door.. I think they removed a window to get it in.. Or maybe they had to remove the door AND frame.. Was a while back..

The fridge holds a fair amount, we use a cooler for extra on longer trips.

Has anybody upgraded their fridge to a bigger 6.0 cubic foot unit?
I don't have the budget for it right now having just spent all my savings on my 183G to begin with; besides, I need to see just how much space I can fill in the existing fridge... But for future planning, I like this unit:
Norcold NX641.3BKL 6 cu. ft. 2 Door Refrigerator (Enhanced 3-Way AC/LP/DC, Left Hand Door with LED Clear Bin Black Door) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019592LEE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_DyE3wbCR8RBPG

My fridge is in the slider, so I'm hoping it could handle the additional weight. I would need to remove/relocate the microwave, and probably do some carpentry.
