    Bought new 300rbts reflection with norcold 1200 4 door fridge having problems with it not cooling. Running now with thermal disk jumped testing for a few day to see if that’s the problem
    Norcold told me they had a updated disk that comes on at a lower temp

    The only issue I had was suddenly finding the fridge completely dead after arriving in Arizona. After about 1hr of troubleshooting, I figured out that the thermal fuze had blown, cutting all power to the unit (both AC & DC). I did a bypass which got the fridge working, until GD was able to mail me a new fuze. From what I was able to find out, driving with the until running off of propane while also driving through very hot areas (i.e. 110-degrees), could cause the fuze to blow.

    I have two of the small battery operated interior fans as well. One goes in the fridge, and one in the freezer. I run them off rechargeable D-batteries, and keep the charger on-board. They seem to help some, but I’m still seeking a better experience with the unit.

    I bought my 2020 Reflection 320MKS 5th wheel 1st of Dec. Between DW hip replacement and COVID I have researched and troubleshot and had $250 worth of techs on it. Temps up, down all over the place. Norcold tech service not much help. She (DW) was NOT having it! Tired of messing with it. Don't boondock much but when I do I have the generator.
    So I just advertised it for sale $2500 (they sell for $3600-4000!) Still 6-7 months warranty left. I'll be ready to go by Sunday!

    Good luck with yours though! I'm sure the right tech will figure it out and fix it.

    Thinking of changing to a residential fridge, what model are you getting and how much modification will you need to do to get it in?

    Got tired of not being able to trust the Atwwood fridge anymore and replaced it with a 12 volt compressor style. Life has been great since.

    This is the one that comes in the new Solitudes. There was a drawer below the Norcold. I removed the 1/2" plywood floor the drawer and the 3/4" board across the top and sides. I then added 2x4 on edge all around bottom inside of opening and installed a piece of 3/4" plywood floor. That made it perfect height. Removed & capped gas line. Ridged foam insulation across the top and bottom vents. Got the new fridge from Lowes for $1100. Invertor gets delivered today. Fridge delivered tomorrow. I am ready.
    Below is a link to mod folder. I'll upload more as I go.

    It is not 12V. It's 110V AC. I am installing an invertor. I believe I listed the Model # in a previous post or it's in the link to my Google drive.
