Any Opinions on a Grape Solar Fridge

Hello, I was wondering if any one has any opinions or experiences on a Grape Solar Fridge, the GS-UF-5-Fab1 in particular, but any input is welcome. It seems to be an economical AC/DC fridge for a camper replacement. Was looking to purchase a Nova Kool 8220, until this one came up and at less than half price.

The main concern is how loud the unit operates at, especially at night while sleeping in a small camper and if it would hold up being driven around on trails.

We got one last year for our off grid tiny house.
The good-
It works
Not too noisy.
Decent price.
Only draws 60w on 12v.
The not so good-
Had to get amazon to replace it before we installed it due to shipping damage. 2nd try was better but not showroom perfect.
Shelves are not adjustable (milk jug or 2ltr won't stand up).
Freezer is shoe box size.

We'll hang onto ours as long as the chinese compressor holds up, but the next one will be something different. Anything with a Danfoss compressor will hold up to travel in a camper, be quieter, and last longer making it worth the extra $.

We have good friends with Nova Kools who boondock and are very happy with them.

All just my opinion mind you.
