Refrigerator Lifespan
We have a 2007 3400RL that we bought new in the summer of 2006. We lived in it FT while waiting for our current stick house to be built (about 18 months). Only used the rig once a year until I fully retired at the end of 2016. Since then have been in it about three months total, so the fridge has actually had less than two years of use. It is a Dometic NDR 1062, and the space it is in will not allow replacement with a residential. Our last trip was to the Texas Gulf Coast. We were there thirty three days, and while there the freezer worked fine but the fridge struggled to get below 50. When we returned home (slides in of course) the fridge was 40-42. I want to do something, and am debating whether to invest in the ARV system with extra fans or to replace the fridge. Does anyone know if the technology/efficiency of the RV fridges has changed and/or improved in the last several years? Thanks for any advice.
