Hey Michael, good write-up on your solar setup. I wonder about the
Norcold fridge, DC-0040. Last I checked these were being supplied with
swing-type compressors, not Danfoss. Could you let us know if that has
in fact changed? The swing type is far too noisy for most folks, but if
  Norcold is now using a Danfoss that would be super.
