Yes I did. realatively straight forward. 
But make sure you add as much insulation as you can fit in. The efficiency [power consuption] depends on improving insulation, and the controller. I have since changed from H301 to my H 315. On the 315 when the controller failed I fitted an electronic digital controller and it trtansformed the fridge efficiency. The standard Isoptherm / Dometic controllers are rubbish, and varstley over priced.
Cheap from china but it works well can be bought from number of sites get it from UK stockist but this is example on Amazon, not where I got mine:-  https://www.amazon.co.uk/All-Purpose-Digital-Temperature-Controller-Thermostat/dp/B07J1JWNR7?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A2LZADUCQG7RBO&gQT=1

Thanks for that answer. 

Where did you fit the compressor?

Both Isotherm and Dometic make kits to fit to boat. This consists of a compressor and cooling plate, controller. the compressor and cooler plate are pre-filled with refridgerant, so on final assembly you join the tubes and no need for refrigerant engineer to fill with refridgerant.
Currently in UK chandler "Force 4" they are listed at Dometic £749 and Isotherm at £425
You should find installation notes on their websites.
Must go we are loading final bits of food on boat.
