Running Norcold on highway

Do you have a small circulating fan inside the fridge. This will help even out the interior temp. Is you fridge in a slideout? Get an ARP unit with the fan control and extra fan. Checking the boiler temps on both electric and gas will help you trouble shoot your problem. Plus the ARP unit will keep your unit from over heating and harming the unit or causing a fire. Good airflow over the back coils and good door seals will keep the fridge temps where they should be. Afternoon sun on the fridge side of the coach will lower the cooling capacity some also. Don't lets the kids hold the door open while deciding what they want. Check the drain hose that leads from the trough below the inside coils through the fridge wall to the drip pan. If the tube isn't sealing properly it can leak air.

Thanks. Good new information for me to chew on. I'm definitely not going to take next year's trip without it working properly. Running it on LP is such a luxury with respect to saving the house batteries. I have no idea how anyone runs a residential Samsung without having to constantly run the genny to keep the batteries charged.

On a side note, when dry camping without an auto start feature installed on the Inverter, how low should you let the house batteries go before starting the Gen and recharging them? 11.0 volts, 11.5?

Install a battery monitor and charge at 50% state of charge (SOC). Voltage only works after no load on the batteries for an hour or so - or you could test specific gravity of flooded batteries, corrected for temperature.
