The link at the bottom is a very good video to see how he removed, replaced the cooling unit and re-install.
He got an Amish unit and had to do a little bit of mod to get the cooling unit secured in. Not sure if that is what happens with all of them...
I got a Dometic unit and it fit excellently. It only has a 1 year warranty. Over a year install and it is working very good.
Got mine from these folks. Made by Dometic.

Here is a link to my cooling unit replacement. Not fun with a camper. Can not take the fridge out of the camper without full door and frame remmoval. Also had to remove part of the dinette seat to get the fridge out to work on it. Removed and installed the cooling unit standing up, no way to lay it down.

Here is his video. He also offers additional steps to make the fridge perform somewhat better.
