You must have had a real dud. 2-3 hrs ahead of time is usually fine. If you are packing it with pre-chilled food, you can turn it on when you load the fridge.
Not at all. I know lots of people who do that, plus my instruction manual said the same thing to bring it up to operating temp.
creeper:
HOGWASH and IMO you're dreaming about your instruction manual calling for those times you quoted to bring it up to temp and I CHALLENGE YOU to provide the actual source by title and version/manual number that supports that absurd claim.
Here is the EXACT quote from the NORCOLD Owner's manual for the N61X and N81X model R.V. refrigerators 632221B (6-09) and I would bet a small fortune that later manuals along with all the DOMETIC model R.V. refrigerators has similar times.
Food compartment:
Start the refrigerator and let it cool for eight hours before loading with food. If the refrigerator does not start ot cool down after about two hours,l contact your dealer or a Norcold Authorized service center.
I also highly question the accuracy of the rest of your claims since they are IMO HIGHLY EXAGGERATED.
BTW I wish folks would only post real information and not make stuff up to prove some questionable position to begin with.
