RE: Norcold 1201 LRM plague
I got tired of trying to get my 7 year old Norcold 1200 LRM to work properly, so I replaced it with a residential type Samsung RF197. WE are so happy with it. More cu. ft. and no worries about fire.
And how, exactly, does that HELP the OP..:h:h:h
Some of us, for many reasons, such as mods necessary to have residentials installed, boondocking, whatever, want to keep the Norcold. I've used them for many years and have had good luck with them. I replaced my cooling unit last year with the Amish unit and am satisfied with it. I didn't like the Samsung as it sticks out 2 1/2 inches farther than the Norcold, something I do not want in my coach. All that said, back to the OP's question and staying on track....:E
To the OP..yes, air circulation is imperative on the Norcold units. Also, proper installation is a must, as it is with most things. When I had mine replaced last year, I did not check out the install when it was completed...my bad... and discovered the cooling fans were not working. Since you cannot access the fans from the exterior, unless you have an upper door installed such as Fleetwood has done on many of their units, you have to make adjustments. A temp fix is to simply plug in an AC fan using a bungee cord while you're parked. My permanent fix was to make a bracket to hold several muffin fans, 120mm, 130cfm, 12VDC and mount it in the roof stack. Pulling air UP over the cooling unit is more efficient that blowing air ON them. This will solve your cooling issues.
As to the gaps you refer to, sealing the unit properly is usually a good thing. While I can visualize somewhat how you describe it, I don't see where you hurt anything. That said, read your install manual that came with the fridge. There must be some air flow around the fridge for it to operate efficiently. Just make sure you leave sufficient air flow for it to do so....Dennis

RE: No Sanicon
Check in your engine compartment fuse panel on the passenger side. There should be a fuse for the sanicon there. The unit should be removed and cleaned as part of your annual maintenance. I've use one for six years with no problems..OTOH, since you indicate it's an aftermarket install all bets are off...but it's worth a look anyway....Dennis

RE: consignment rv dealers
I bought a coach years ago from PPL in Houston. Easy transaction. I gave them a list of things I wanted fixed, they negotiated with the seller and we made a deal, ...for less than asking price....Dennis

RE: Driveway/Pad Size
I agree, bigger is better....Also, remember to factor in the weight of the coach for your concrete. We weigh in at 44,000 pounds......Dennis

RE: Driving certainvCalifornia Highways
Most likely your friend was referring to the restrictions on many of the roads in that area, mainly Rte 1. California restricts Rte 1 and 20 to motorhomes less than 40' in length. You'll have no problems with your rig.....enjoy the trip...Dennis

RE: need new deep cycle batteries for class a
Many options here....from your post, it appears these are your house batteries and not your starting batteries. Also, assuming here, these two dead batteries are 12VDC. If both of these are correct, then you might consider replacing the two 12V with four 6V golf cart batteries. The GC batteries are designed a little different as they do not have to have CCA, (cranking amps). This means they can withstand the abuse we give them with continued use and discharging. Furthermore, GC batteries will have greater amp hours which will help power the "stuff" inside the rig. Here's a link to a great tutorial...Dennis

RE: Dumping air when parked
Monaco, at least since 1996 has always stated:
Deploy Slides
Dump Air
Level
Reverse when departing.
I was told the main reason for that is to ensure sufficient clearance issues for the slides to operate....Dennis

RE: I-5 or CA99?
Harris Ranch is good, but I wouldn't do I-5 just for it. There's plenty of places along 99 too. I like the McDonald's in Chowchilla myself. :)
Pretty tough to compare Harris ranch to a Mcdonalds resturant
In fact a bit insulting to harris ranch in my opinion
I found I5 ok but pretty dam rough in some areas north of bakersfield through to sacremento.Ok north of Sacremento
You're kidding?
no but after thinking about it I realized you were just trying to be funny. (prefering mcdonalds over harris ranch)
I thought it was a slap in the face to McDonalds....:B:B.my grandkids would rather eat at Mickey D's..just sayin....Dennis

RE: Reefer problems.
Take the batteries to any auto parts store. They can check them out for you.
For a proper check, they should be fully charged and tested under a load.....Dennis

As stated, the campground is a bit outdated, but the museum is well worth visiting. It's a bit off the beaten path, but you will be missing something if you don't stop by..JMHO......Dennis
