...and another thing I finally noticed after 4 winters of using the coach for hunting. The original fridge lower vent, is wide open to my exterior fridge vent. you get alot of cold air blowing in that bottom of the norcold.
Incorrect installation. If you want to run it with an exterior vent, the grate at the bottom front of the fridge should be closed up and the compartment should be vented like an LP unit (exterior vents bottom and top). If you want to run it with the coils cooled with interior air, there should be NO exterior vents and there should be a vent at the top front as well. If you keep the roof AC on when it is hot, it will cool better with interior air. The 73s, and maybe 74s, with dual voltage fridges had no exterior vents from the factory. See figure 4 for correct interior air installation:
