I have a 2011 Carriage 5th Wheel and I'm concerned about this Norcold refrigerator fire problem. My question is has anyone had the Amish coil cooling unit installed in there unit, if so who done it an...

I suppose all of them are capable of ending up with a weak spot which might corrode quicker, and begin to leak.
However, if the Pines RV Refrigeration unit is made with a higher-quality steel tubing, seamless and of heavier wall as well, IMO this by itself will lower the chances of ending up with a weak spot. But, the weld itself (the bead) can also develop a hairline crack due to improper technique or cooling.
I bought one because of the lower price PLUS I believed what David Force told me. He certainly did NOT say anything of the product being superior due to the "Amish" connection. And, I certainly don't assume that the Amish people inherently produce better products. In fact, some of the choices of material, and some of the construction quality, of my Newmar Dutch Star "box" was substandard.
BTW my original Norcold 1200 cooling unit worked perfectly for 7-1/2 years, and I have no reason to doubt that this one won't at least equal that performance.
But, if it fails I'll post about it right here.
