No, not last and final.
I went camping in Arkansas for 8 days. Weather was hot 95*-100* and very humid. I started on electricity for the refrigerator and it cooled nicely, but then it seemed to be ineffective, like 50* in the fridge section, and it just wouldn't get colder. So, I thought, what the heck, I'll switch to LPG and see how it goes. IT WORKED GREAT! The lettuce freezes just like it used to do. And I could see that the thermistor was working because on GAS, the temp control worked as it should.
So, my conclusion from this camping trip combined with the prior testing that I did (thank you Old Biscuit) is that the board just does not regulate the 110V function properly and I will order and install a new board. I checked with Dinosaur boards but the do not have a replacement to fit my trailer so I will go with a new factory unit.
Your conclusion is wrong. The Board does NOT see or care which heat source is cooling. ALL it does is turn the heat source OFF and ON depending on what the Thermister tells the board to do. Remember, LOW 120 voltage will cause LOW performance on 120. If that is happening, then switching to LP will fix that type problem. Doug
