Just a comment about the fridge: don't expect that type of fridge to maintain a set temperature like your household (compressor) fridge. Absorption units will only cool a certain amount below ambient temp; as it gets hotter outside, the fridge will get warmer inside. You can sometimes improve performance by adding a small fan near the upper vent opening to get rid of heat buildup. Some folks switch out to a 12V compressor fridge like Engel, ARB, etc.
Sorry you're having such a disaster with the build quality.
Yeah we knew what to expect with the fridge, this is our 2nd trailer. What was frustrating was that it would get cold and stay cold on propane, but warm up immediately on 110v. I had to explain it to them ultimately I think 5x before they reproduced the issue. To add to it, it was the service advisor who replicated the problem, the tech kept doing a quick look and saying it was fine without actually repeating the failure test sequence.
In regards to CW I'm only returning there each time because these are all manufacturer defects, this isn't even touching my extended warranty yet. I'll be finding a local dealer that accepts my warranty when this is all said and done.
Thanks for reading and commenting everyone!
