Our other coach had a Dometic 8 c.f. fridge like you have. We replaced it with a Frigidaire 12 cf. It was an almost perfect fit. However, we found out the hard way that Frigidaire won't honor the warranty if installed in the RV because the one that was delivered was defective. So, I'd stay away from Frigidaire and check with the manufacturer you go with. Also, plug it in BEFORE you have it installed to make sure you didn't get the one-in-a-million defective fridges. We did not have it connected to the inverter, and it traveled fine for 5 to 6 hours without power. We also usually stopped for lunch and would turn on the generator for A/C, so that helped also. We never boondock.
I've read about a lot of people installing a Haier in the 10 cf. size.
We now have the Samsung RF18 in this coach, but I don't think it will fit in your space. I know it would not have fit in our other coach which had the Dometic 8 cf.
You'll be so happy you made the switch. I know we are.
