Brian.....I've done two Samsung installs. If you have space 6" of extra space either above or below your Norcold/Dometic, it's an easy install.
You'll have plenty of battery power with your four batteries. The Samsung in stainless sells for about $1200.00. If you're handy, you can do the install yourself.
If you find that you need more battery power or solar, you can add that later. There is a place here in Ventura that sells solar panels directly from their warehouse. They charge $129.00 for a 100 watt panel. I just bought 3 panels and a Xantrex controller for $520.00. You can also add batteries later on if you have an issue. If you do very little boondocking, your four batteries will be fine.
You can put together quite a nice system, including the refer, solar and batteries for less than the price of a new absorption refer.
