Norcold 2118X design defects & Grand Design Momentum 376THS defects

Fish,

First, I neglected to welcome you! Glad to have you here!

Second, lots of discussion on replacing 2-way fridges with residential. It does require some planning, and it does impact other systems depending on how you use your rig. If you boondock or dry camp a lot, you may need to look into solar, inverter and Lithium Ion Phosphate batteries which are far superior to flooded style but very spendy.

If you primarily stay in rv parks with full hookups would be a much simpler approach.

Lots of threads here on that subject if you do a search for residential refrigerator swap.

Again, welcome!

Since no one has a fix for the refer problem which I think is a design defect, does anyone on this forum have an opinion on replacing the “Nevercold” with a residential-style refrigerator suitable for a 5th wheel?

Pros? Cons? Suggestions on brands to consider for the replacement?

Thank you in advance for non-judgmental, constructive replies.

We had the exact issues you did with the Norcold along with crazy high propane usage. Fought it for our first year, neither Norcold nor GD would own up to the issues. Finally, after our one year warranty was up, we replaced ours with an LG counter depth unit. You can see what we did here > https://rctravels.rmcd.ca/p/residential-fridge.html.
