Thanks for the link.

I am surprised that it does not stick out more. When I looked at it at
the Boater's World it seemed it would stick out about 6 inches total.
The photo looks like just the door and the fascia are stick out about
2.5".

I went back to the store today to confirm that the compressor is indeed
Engel and sure enough, 3 of 3 of the Norcold in the store has the
Sawafuji compressors in them. Sawafuji makes the Engel fridges and
portable fridge/freezer that also sold under the Norcold brand.

The quality of this refrigerator is top notch and I suspect it is
entirely made by Sawafuji. Karl got a killer deal for around $300. There
are a couple of them on eBay today bid to about this level.

Due to the significant size of the actuator assembly of this swing motor
design I wonder how much vibration it generate. Karl mention that the
vibration caused movement of some small bits in the drawer to shift and
start to rattle.

Karl, can you please share your experience?
