I don't know if any of them will fit into the space.

You may be interested in constructing your own enclosure and buy the
Danfoss FD35F compressor which most of these refrigerators are built
with. Here is a site that have much of this DIY information.

http://www.kollmann-marine.com

Here is the page where the did some performance test over the course of
24 hrs at 3500rpm and it consumed 49.2 Ahr with 11 hours of run time and
cycles 90 times. It is not clear what the test condition is or the size
of the box. I am sure to run a fridge under 2cu ft the total amp hours
should be significantly less if the fridge is well insulated and you
don't open the door too frequently.

The Isotherm 2006 uses such compressor. I remember seeing a similar dc
compressor at West Marine 4-5 years ago.

I'd be more interested in the top load
http://www.indelmarineusa.com/toploaded.htm  and put it where the water
tank & elect storage cabinetts are and put the water tank in where the
fridge is now.  Top loaders are more efficient (I have been told). M
