Opinions wanted on icebox conversion kits

[Frank Langer]

Hi,
We've had a Norcold icebox conversion kit installed on our E30+ for the last 15 years, and it appears to have died. The troubleshooting guide suggests the Oscillator has failed, but no one knows how to repair that.
So I'm looking to install a new one, but Norcold/Thetford has left the US, and they're not readily available anymore.
My options include Isotherm and Nova Kool.
I'm leaning towards the Nova Kool, as they are produced close to where I live, sold by the local chandlery and seem to have a good reputation.
Does anyone have experience with either brand, and advice before I make my decision?
Thanks,
Frank

I installed a new Isotherm system several years ago when my decade-old Frigoboat system died. Seems to be working fine so far. Isotherm has a helpful dealer in Seattle and they did patiently answer my dumb questions....

I installed an Isotherm system three seasons ago and I've been very satisfied with it. See this link for images and additional comments.
