  1. I've been thinking hard lately about pulling the original Norcold 875EG2 out of my rig, replacing with a good mini fridge. The Norcold generally works but is WAY old, hard on the eyes, and BAD at maintaining a consistent temperature across day/night. Also, I already have an (efficient) inverter setup to supply the 110v for a standard mini fridge, and we just never use the existing unit on propane (moot point, for us). Couple thoughts and questions: Anybody done this recently and have thoughts/suggestions/regrets? The Norcold has about 4.5 cu.ft. capacity, is "built in" and fits snugly into the surrounding cabinetry, and is roughly 40" H x 23" W x 20" D. I haven't found anything that matches those ^ dimensions closely, especially in height since most are between 30-33" tall. So I either need to "wall-in" the additional space, or create some kind of cubbyhole storage area, below or above. Any opinions on this? Biggest Concern: should the original fridge outdoor access panel and roof vent be sealed and insulated... or left as-is?
  2. Recently I became aware that the original 2-way Norcold 875EG2 in my Warrior was subject to a manufacturer's recall for "Smaller Gas Absorption Models." Apparently the rubber seals inside the gas valve can begin to leak over time, causing a fire hazard. (Probably old news to some of you, but first I've heard of it!) https://www.thetford.com/customer-support/recall-information/ I reached out to Norcold/Thetford with the unit's SN#, and they confirmed that it does need to be addressed by a "qualified service center." Anybody have experience with this? Painful or painless process? The refer looks a bit rough of course, after 27 years, but it still works on LP and AC! Don't want to end up with a big brick in the coach, if something goes wrong...
