I have a newer Dometic in my LT Florida.  It works great, will freeze
lettuce if you're not careful!   The auto-igniter is nice too.  The LT also
has larger vents for the fridge. (To the outside and one in the back of the
counter)  I run it on 120V with a step up transformer mounted in the back
cupboard.  In fact the entire inside of the van is 220V with European plugs
since that was the easiest way to connect the on-board charger as well.  We
rarely camp with electricity, and most modern electronics auto-switch
anyways.  If I'm making Pina Coladas I can plug the blender into the
powerbar I mounted in the rear of the kitchen :)
