there are several on here that have had them installed…
I’m not sure there are enough of them to make any kind of comparison, and what is the real difference in them that makes them any better???
Marketing aside, Who’s to say they won’t catch fire???
I’m not sure what Amish made really means or what is better about them…
all companies that make them claim theirs to be the best available…
The new Norcold units built by Pines RV Refrigeration and sold by David Force's Cooling Unit Warehouse are made using a thicker wall tubing than the OEM and a different coil pattern. Pines is indeed an Amish owned and operated company located on a traditional Amish farm in Shipshewana, IN. The owner is Larry Miller, and the tubing is formed and welded by his brother in law, Harley, at JC Refrigeration located a few farms down the road, prior to final assembly and testing at Pines. There is a very detailed post on another forum by someone who was in Shipshewana for repairs to his KZ TT and visited their facilities after winning a contest sponsored by David Force. They also do installations there.
I bought one of these units for my Norcold in our old 86 King of the Road. Called and talked with David before ordering, I am a skeptic by nature, it was a very good conversation. I bought a rebuilt unit, that needed to run on the lowest setting to keep the refer above 32 degrees.
Totally satisfied, would buy from them again.
