I believe this is the one. I'm told it really sucks up the propane though, unlike the expensive propex. For a low cost solution, the Zodi Hot vent works quite well. The only problem with it is you cannot let it run overnight, and it is not thermostatically controlled. Admittedly, I let mine run out of propane over the weekend and nothing at all happened. I guess the danger is if the flame blows out, or perhaps the unit tips over, otherwise I don't see any danger. For $150.00 it's a nice unit. The draw of the Zodi fan is .7 btw.

As far as the Atwood, only the 12000 BTU model has the lower amp draw, the others seem to use much more. Just read the literature from the link I sent. I haven't measured the depth of the cabinet by the fridge, but it must fit in there. I don't know that much about the Atwood, which is why I posted my message to began with.
