Fridge switchup

[sofmerc]

So my 5,0 is leaving ETI tomorrow, Samuel called me today and said they don't have a Dometic fridge but would install a Norcold instead. Its the same size but a 2 way only fridge. No DC type operation , which doesn't bother me in the least. I would probably seldom if ever power the fridge with DC power.
I don't know much about either the Dometic or the Norcold ... Anybody have thoughts on either? I guess some recent trailers must be equipped the same. I know they were having supply chain issues with fridges and range hoods

That switch would not bother me.....

I agree, it doesn't bother me. Dometic seems to have issues with the stoves but hadn't heard of many issues with their fridges. It doesn't bother me at all

It doesn't necessarily mean they are better but I think that when doing an apples to apples comparison typically the Norcold is a more expensive refrigerator.

Will the control portion still operate while driving down the road?

Sorry for the question but I'm a New2Be Escapee in October.

It will be on propane while being towed.. I wouldn't power the Dometic on DC while being towed either, it would be propane powered

I'm not saying its better.. Hence my post. I'm trying to get feedback from peeps with the Norcold. I'm sure some newer deliveries have it installed
