We had gone on-line to see what it would cost to purchase a new circuit board, and there were places that listed the proper part number, but no pictures, and no refunds, so it would be a gamble to order something. We asked the service department if they could order one for us, and they came to the same conclusion, too risky.
My next trip I'll be taking a regular cooler. I tried to rent a YETI, the smallest one will fit in the Norcold spot, but they are very expensive to buy, and because of the thick walls, there is very little space left inside for food once you put ice in it. The Ace Hardware rental place sells them, but doesn't rent them, even though they are listed as providing that service on the Norcold web site.
I'm struggling a bit with what to do. When the Norcold worked it was awesome! AND I'm reluctant to spend the money to buy a new one, because the old one never really worked correctly accept for 9 days on my last trip, before it died. On the other hand, if I buy a new one, from the same place that tested the old circuit board (they were very nice, very helpful and charged nothing to test the one and do the research on purchasing a new board), it would come with a 2 year warranty, and a brick and mortar business to go to if I have problems. And we will be changing the big fuse to a smaller one.
This is really the ONE last thing that is not right with Waddles. I love her and want her to be perfect. I'm probably going to bite the bullet and buy a new Norcold.
In the mean time, I'm heading out Monday for a 3 night/4 day dry camping trip with good friends. I'll post pictures when I get back.
And....How is YOUR summer going? Mine is going WAY TOO FAST! I'm harvesting snow peas, garlic and radishes from the garden.
