The Nova Kool R3800 RV Refrigerator is a quiet, highly-efficient AC/DC refrigerator/freezer using the sealed Danfoss compressor. Sealed compressors are ideal for use in refrigerators since there is no way for lubricant or refrigerant to leak out of the compressor - the motor is designed to run in (and be cooled by) the refrigerant being compressed. Danfoss (Secop) BD-series sealed compressors use a brushless, variable-speed electric motor mounted on springs to prevent any vibrations from being transmitted, and with a muffler to minimize suction noise. The compressor pumps the CFC-free R134A refrigerant through the refrigerant circuit at 2000-3500 rpm, depending on the cooling load. It’s a compact, rugged and maintenance-free design that uses very little power and is almost silent, which is why 12-volt refrigerators using this compressor are so quiet and efficient.
Nova Kool refrigerators are high-quality products made and supported in North America, by Nova Kool of Vancouver, BC, Canada. Nova Kool stands behind their products with a 2-year warranty.

Documents: Nova Kool R3800 RV Refrigerator
From the manual:
"Installation into the cabinet: Nova Kool publishes its cut out dimensions so that the unit will slide easily into the hole. The dimensions allow a little extra space so that the unit can be shimmied into place as well as providing extra air space behind where required. On most models, the mounting screws are installed and covered by supplied frame plugs (see bag with owners manual, ice cube tray & frame plugs). Flush mount frames and frame kits do not use screw covers."
Please ensure that you are using the correct cut out dimensions that relate to the type of mounting flange on the fridge(see below). Mounting some models flush require an additional 2.5” for the depth and 1”for both the height and the width than the standard units.
Note from the manufacturer:
The R3800, R4500, RFS7501 ,and R3100 models do not have flush mounts. The frame the door is hinged on is also the mounting flange. Once mounted, the door will stick out proud 2.5 inches.
The R5810 and the R1200 models have semi flush mounts that of the door if you have the depth.
The spec sheet link above gives the depth difference on those models.

Very disappointed
I have had this refrig for two years. I still dislike very much.... didn't "get used to it". The freezer barely keeps temps below freezing and if you turn it lower... than the top shelf of the refrig freezes every thing. There is usually only a 5 - 6 degree difference between the freezer and the 1st shelf. If the top shelf is freezing everything... the 2nd shelf is at a good refrig temp. Lowest shelf is only a "chill" shelf for fruits and veggies. The small shelves in the door are so narrow and shallow and thing to hold the small items that can fit so they slip out under the retaining bar for the shelf. ... hard to find anything that fits and stays!!. No good place to put a 1/2 gal of milk. If you put it so that it stands up and goes through a lift-up section on the first shelf, it is almost impossible to get in or out due to spacing between shelves. If you try to put in the lowest shelf of the door... it almost fits but bends out the bar. If I had the money, I would throw it away and get any thing else. I have had RVs with refrigs for approx. 43 yrs. Never had one this bad. The only good thing is it is a 12v frig. At first, I thought something was wrong.... after MANY calls to company finally got... "seems to be working as designed"!!
Great Product
I purchased one of these units in 1999, and it still works like I purchased it yesterday. Excellent build
