My Norcold four door fridge has failed for the THIRD time. I've had it with Norcold. Anyone know of a reliable person to replace my Norcold with a residential fridge within a reasonable distance from Missoula, Mt. ? Anyone done this who regrets it ? Thanks.

In what part of the Country are you located? There are many good folks that can handle this (mandatory) conversion. Yes, I know, my is my opinion. In this case, if you are in your RV more than a couple of months a year, my opinion is also correct.
Get that worthless RV fridge out and start enjoying your travels with a device designed to keep your precious ice cream cold and frost free!
What I post is my 2 cents and nothing more. Please don't read anything into my post that's not there. If you disagree, that's OK.
Can't we all just get along?

When I went residential I added a second complete power system with a PSW inverter. I left the MSW outlet for the ice maker in the No Cold so I have two inverter outlets plus a shore power outlet...or is that three?

One caution just "Popped" UP, something I never thought about till... Well in a manner of speaking it happened to me (I have a standard RV fridge)

THe thread is titled "Replacing a Prosine 2.0"

Your Residential fridges are nice.. Provided the Inverter works.. Mine (inverter) just failed.. Thankfully I have a back up battery charger (Actually I use the other converter as the PRIMARY and the Prosine as the back up .. Long story) but My prosine just died.. So if I Boondock I'm w/o all 120vac less I burn gasoline. at 2.50/gallon/hour.
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

My only mistake was not getting rid of my NoCold 1200 sooner $$$$. I replaced it myself
with the help of the DW. A EnergyStar refer is so efficient you can boondock by adding two batteries to power it.
