We had the Dometic 1350 in our 2019 MHC 330RL. Like most others, it just wasn't performing well and I didn't trust food to stay safe for very long. We did all the things that are recommended and looked at the installation manual to make sure everything was installed correctly but it still would not cool consistently. We weighed the options of the JC Refrigeration conversion or replace the entire fridge. In order to do the JC conversion the entire fridge unit must be removed from the enclosure and that is a lot of work. We figured since the fridge must come out anyway we might as well replace it with a Norcold N15DC 12 volt refrigerator. No inverter is required and it is larger capacity than the Dometic by about 2 cubic feet. Those are two pluses. There is some additional wiring because larger gauge wire is required.
This unit is an exact fit to the opening of the Dometic so no modification to the opening is needed. This fridge is designed to be in an RV. A residential is not and will fail eventually. There is even a model with an ice maker if you want that.
We feel this is the best overall solution to the Dometic cooling problems.
