Well, Truck Campers are not in my line of sight. Very few of those in Texas. BUT, Your type problem is reported over the years on Truck Camper Refers. For some reason, the way Truck campers are installed in trucks causes a flame problem on various models of refers. They used to make kits(Norcold and Dometic) to stop flame out in transit in truck campers. This would have to be addressed by both Norcold and Northwood. Remember, the FL just means NO FLAME. It failed to either LIGHT or RELIGHT and the ignition process timed out after 3 tries. The other factor is, you have the refer in a slide out and you have the 2 upper and lower access doors and a normal install with no slide room, would have a roof vent. THAT may contribute to the air flow causing a flame out. Doug
Doug,
This seems to be a different problem in that the refrigerator is reporting a flame where there isn’t supposed to be one. This is not a “no flame” error
I missed your model number and your actual problem. YES, the error code means that there is a fault either in the gas valve or the control board. The NORMAL fault is the main control board and the gas valve relay on it. If the service center contacs Norcold, odds are Norcold will send a replacement rear main control board. Norcold has had problems with their control boards for the past few years. The 5 flash code for your model is a NEW code for the newer control boards. The older boards had a different 5 flash code. I would NOT operate the refer on Gas until the problem is resolved. Behind the refer from the outside access door you will see the copper line that connects to the refer. There should be a manual LP shut off there. Turn it off. Doug
