I'll let you all know how it went with the install.

I considered going that route but considering the performance of the Norcold I couldn't take a chance on this option. The Norcold performance at best was miserable, with frig & freezer temps really not that great.
I'd rather have to run the generator a couple hours a day to maintain the batteries rather then rely on the performance of an absorption type refrigerator.
I also have 335 watt of solar power to help. In hot weather we ran the generator anyway for AC and in cold weather to be able to run furnace, either way it just made sense to go with the Samsung.
