It sure is Ben. The Norcold Polar Full RV Refrigerator w Freezer item # NC73FR would indeed be the 12v replacement for your Norcold N8V. This fridge fits a cutout measuring 23-1/2" wide x 52-7/8" tall x 24" deep.
The Norcold Polar Full RV Refrigerator w Freezer item # NC73FR is a 12v powered, stainless steel fridge, with right hand opening doors. The doors can be reversed to open to the left hand side or you can purchase the item # NC63FR, which comes with left opening doors.

Hi Jerred, My N8V isn’t cooling properly anymore. I live in Miami and the South Florida summers are super hot and humid. I am hoping a 12v model will work a little better than an absorption style in this weather.
