DC compressor refrigerator in a Dutchman T@B

I've finally decided to be done with my 3 way frig.  Pulled it out and can't get the thermocouple voltage (even with a new TC) up above 8MV on pilot or when lit.

Anyway, i've measured the depth of my existing frig space and it is 16 1/4" to the inside of the cabinet at the bottom of the space (image 1) and more like 19 1/2" at the top (image 2)
.  

Many frig models need clearance for ventilation, and that might mean even less than the 16 1/4" depending on where the compressor is located, etc.  

I've seen on the forum people installing built-ins of Engel, Vitrifrigo, Norcold and a few other models, but haven't seen that done in a Dutchman (I may have missed it) and i'm worried that i won't have the depth.  My understanding is Dutchman started making the T@B in 2004, and sold the rights to Pleasant Valley in 2010.  @Sharon_is_SAM has a nice discussion of the history on the forum.  

If anyone has done a DC compressor frig conversion in a Dutchman T@B (say 2004-2010) i'd be interested to hear what brand/model of frig you used and what year your rig is.  Heck, let's expand that:  Anyone that has done a DC compressor frig (or had one as OEM) in ANY year of T@B can you respond here .  Include the information below and i'll tally them up and make a table available for others. 

year of T@B  Model of T@B     Frig make     Frig model   Built in/Slide out   AC     DC     AC/DC    Year of install/OEM

If i'm missing something that would be useful include it and i'll make another column.  Also interested if anyone has actual measurements from the inside of the cabinet to the back of the frig space at the bottom/middle/top, and again what year your rig is.
