Kinda disappointed
I found a few "cons" potential buyers should consider. Pros: easy install. Cons: The door will not fully latch unless you press on it until you hear a pronounced "click". Actual width is about 1/4" wider than advertised due to the compressor tubing sticking out by that amount (top right back). The wire racks are WAAAY TOO weak to support any reasonable weight without bending downward. I've had to make a center support from top of glass cover to the top of the fridge to prevent this. Depending on where you vertically set the wire racks relative to the door shelves contents will come off the shelves and fall out of the fridge when you open the door. The factory specs list a 400W power draw at about 70 F ambient temp (24 hour). My measurements show its more like 650W - a considerable difference. Amp draw varies a little but is about 3.5A. To maintain a proper/safe 35-38F internal temp (at 70F ambient) the power setting must be at around 6.5 out of 7. Why have settings 1-6.5?(!). BTW, my install exceeded the required air "gaps" (for circulation) around the fridge (which can cause the fridge to run excessively and not cool properly - very important). The flip up freezer door will partially open when the fridge door is closed (usually due to some item at the front of the freezer pushing against it). This will cause the fridge to run more than needed. Why in the world wouldn't you design the inner surface of the fridge door (when closed) to keep the freezer door closed? (!). The covers over the anchoring screw holes need to be slightly larger in diameter to keep the covers from falling out. Finally, the fridge interior light is really lame. It would have been much better to install another on the left side.

Questions
Can the latch on the door be disabled, so the door can be affixed to a cabinet door facing? Our current Cruise 130 does not have a latch, just magnetic seal and the door is attached to a fancy cabinet door which opens the magnetic seal.
Is this unit both 12bolt and 125volt and what is the power draw? How big of a solar panel would be needed to keep it running when at anchor?
Yes it is both 12 vdc and 120 vac. I have 3 x 100 amp solar panels that have kept the refrigerator and a freezer going with attaining float most days.

Is the door swing adjustable?
Is the door swing adjustable? I presume you mean RHor LH hinge - yes. If you mean getting a good seal when closed - yes a little bit. We found two things affected the seal. First - the floor must be flat and level. Second - weight on the door opposite the hinge side (bottle of wine, quarter of milk etc) wil prevent a good seal

Would you need to purchase any electrical attachments or anything with this refrigerator? Or does it just replace the existing fridge.
It comes with a standard (110V) power plug. So yes, it can just replace the existing without any new wiring.
However, you can also hook it up to a 12v power supply in addition to the plug. This requires connecting 2 wires to the leads from the fridge.
