We had major problrms with our propane refrigerator. It works incredibly well now, but took months to remedy. The symptoms were the refrigerator didn't get cold enough. The reason, we finally discovered, was an improper install. We have an 05 Allure 470. The baffle system per Norcold specs was to have 3 baffles within the refrigeratoe cabinet, which would have allowed the proper air space of NO MORE tham 1/4 inch air space between the cabinet and the frig wall. We had only one of the required three baffles. This allowed the hot air generated by the frig to heat the frig up instead of cooling it. The hot air was not able to escape through the venting system and built up, creating an oven, not a frig. Frontier RV in Junction City, who looked for the reason it didn't work, and didn't just throw parts at the problem, fixed it. I recommend them highly, and they have a nice spot to dry camp (without trains)
