Reading in the Owners manual that there "may be reduced cooling performance and burner outages" if operating above 4,000 ft altitude. This is for the 3 way Norcold refrigerator that is in my 2016 400 Max S T@B .
We will be on a trip that will be above 5,000 for about 5 weeks and some of it without electric hook ups. Also might be cool weather too..
What are peoples thoughts about the optional high altitude kit from my dealer? I called Norcold and they were not very definitive one way or the other.

I live at over 10,000 feet and have not had any issues with the 3 way fridge cooling. My last trailer also had a norcold 3 way fridge and it often froze my eggs. I think you'll be just fine. Humidity and ambient temps seem to impact the performance more that altitude.2021 T@b 400 BD "Vixen Gail"

I've got a '19 320 with a Norcold 3-way. Camp regularly between 6K and 10K ft and haven't had a problem. Except it's always a bit of a <bother> to start. I'm probably doing it wrong, but it takes me a good 5 min of pressing that clicker button before I can get the needle to move into the green<family friendly forum—changed spelling.
