Brian, like you fire is my main concern as I've seen way too many burned MH's from Norcold fires. I installed one of these in the roof vent and a smoke alarm behind my 1200. Several years ago I replace my cooling unit with a Amish one and left those items plus the Norcold band-aid recall box. Since I store my MH inside I only run the refer one day before leaving and when I get home.
Now if there was a decent sized residential unit that was the same size (only 64" high) that would come in the door then maybe... but there is not.
Really, YOU have seen too many fires on Norcold 1200's? I have been in the RV service business for 34 years and the Norcold 1200 has been out almost 20 years. I have seen NO FIRES from a failed/leaking cooling unit. I have seen fires from insect nests and bad LP connections. I live in a Million person plus area (DFW texas) and we have hundreds of thousands of RV's. I have replace scores of 1200 cooling units over the years that were leakers and never once did one catch on fire. YOU are just one on many ill informed that like to jump on the bash Norcold 1200 wagon. I would/have NO problem with me or any of my family having a Norcold 1200 in their RV. Doug
Look up Norcold Fires......on,oh say Google,and look at the cases,Pictures of BURNED High End Motorhomes.Many.many..............
I PERSONALLY talked with a couple at National Ref in Shipshewana...who had a Fridge Fire..Norcold..and the wife Heard a strange Noise....and discovered the Fire....
So......Do Not tell every one.....ALL IS WELL....IT IS NOT.
I missed that one. What an irresponsible post. Manufacturers don't issue recalls because it is fun and good business. They do it because there is a substantial and proven issue that is dangerous. Since they issued the recall, I guess Norcold themselves are on the "bash Norcold 1200 wagon".
Really poor advice when there is a recall out for a problem like that.
