Dave and Sherylyn,

This is what I actually bought. I lucked into a sale at PPL and paid $876. 
They call it an 8 cu ft. label inside the unit. It is the N841 and about 
$100 more than the N641. Both come in 2 and 3 way and both can have an ice 
maker. USA made by Thetford in Ohio, not Sweden like the Dometic.

I don't actually know if Dometic is still made in Sweden, but they used to 
be and all the ones I have say it on the door. I don't like that there is a 
http://www.dometicusa.com/recall.php recall site on Dometic.com wherein you 
have a drop down menu to select your recalled model. There was a period of 
unit controller failures.

Norcold also has had recalls and on the 641 and 841. These were units built 
in 1999. The failures seem all to be non controller related, but a faulty 
120 volt heating element that can cause fires. There is a reward for owners 
turning in this defective unit for a new one. The reward is $50.
