Hey Marty! Yes, the Norcold RV Mini Fridge w/ Built-In Freezer # NC97VR is a good replacement for your DC0051. It will fit in the same space since they share the same dimensions at 18-1/2" wide x 20-1/2" tall x 21-1/16" deep. Also yes, the door can be reversed, see the attached picture from the installation manual.
What trip are you planning next once you replace your fridge?
