My other motivation is my Norcold was starting to show compromised cooling capacity and in some cases, no cooling.

My initial impression is that the Fridge Defend and Amish cooling unit are working as they should. Certainly better then the Norcold cooling unit. On initial start-up, my fridge/freezer was at operating temperature in about 4 hours on setting “9”. I left it on “9” over night and the fridge was at 25*F in the morning and freezer was -1*F.
WOW ! That is some serious cooling !!I don't understand why evaporation refrigerators are installed in RVs any more, especially high end units. The DC powered compressor used in the Amish Cooling Unit has been for sale for SEVERAL years now. This is NOT "new technology".
Yes, for people who boondoogle a lot for days at a time, propane powered evaporation refrigerators are a probably a better option than an expensive upgrade in solar and batteries. In the long run, electric is still the BEST !
