Congratulations on buying a great coach... Monaco Exe.
Yes you need to have the recall black box installed immediately. If overheating and catching on fire is not a problem then why did Norcold come out with the heat sensing shut off black box? Unfortunately this Band-Aid has shut off more refrigerators when they have not overheated than when they do and they are on Rev E of it...maybe F.
I lived with my 1200 for 10 years by installing a auto fire system in the roof vent, a smoke detector behind it and shutting it off whenever it was not needed. During that time I spent way too much money on it and in hindsight should've gone residential instead of replacing the cooling unit.
If you do the above safety precautions I would continue to use it until you are faced with spending serious money on it. At that point I would go residential.
*PS: until you go through a summer you will not know if it is working great. Good Luck.
