I replaced the coils in my 1200LRM with the Amish coils. Lasted about 5 years. Then they sprung a leak and my Norcold turned into a warming oven. I did every test suggested, nothing worked. I did a YOUTUBE and there was a number of video's of people removing their Norcolds and replacing them with residential refrigerators. I went to Lowes and got a GE 18cuft fridge.
I took the window out of the motorhome, slid the fridge through the opening, reinstalled the window, modified the fridge opening slightly, plugged it in and I can now freeze ice cream. And I have an on board generator. The fridge also uses so few amps that I can install roof top solar and run it that way. That is a future project after the camping season ends. All I lost was a propane hook-up.
What year is your motorhome? We may end up going the same route. Our Norcold is set to maximum and on warm days I still have to 'help' it with blocks of ice inside. We know it's kind of an impending disaster...Our motorhome is a 2003 with a 4 battery bank. Not sure off the top of my head what size of refrigerator we would be able to fit in there, but it would be a lot smaller than what you have.
