Norcold issue - Freezer Good, Frig Bad
The freezer is freezing thawed food solid but even on 9 the frig is closer to room temperature. Any help would be appreciated. (no food in frig)

"residential compressor fridges are power hungry so all is well if you camp in a campground with adequate power available" No they are not...my energy star (21 cuft) draws less than 100 watts when running less than half the time. That's 8 amps DC measured before the inverter. My rig does not bounce down the road and their are now thousands of home refers in RVs without any problems.
Most trailers and TCs have a 12V charging line from the vehicle and I doubt the 150+ amp alternator will even notice 8 amps. Yes if you boondock often two additional batteries will solve your energy issues.
Therein lies another issue.. more batteries = more weight.
Every 'rig' bounces up and down on our fine highway system. If it don't you aren't driving anywhere.:R
Far as issues go, I have no idea. If it was me, I'd have a RV compressor fridge with a high efficiency, low amp drain compressor. Typical Danfoss / Waeco compressors draw just over 2 amps full tilt. Panasonic inertia compressors draw even less.
