Norcold DC only frig needs additional venting

Check out out this thread from TaGs who use the chest style Norcold.

This looks like it has the solution for @seitzmike. 

@seitzmike what did you end up doing to resolve the frig issue?

Seitzmike, I’ve scanned this thread see you’ve gotten a lot of good advice. More ventilation will certainly help your fridge’s efficiency on hot days with the hatch closed but won’t solve the cut-off problem while running on battery. While trying to make your model fridge work in our 2009 T@da, I discovered that while the voltage at the battery was 12.2 or lower, the voltage at the fridge dropped to below 11.5v and so the fridge cut-out. The T@da’s wiring wasn’t heavy enough for the 5+ amps drawn by the Norcold causing excessive. I installed an Engel fridge that draws 2.3 amps instead — no voltage drop. Heavier wiring will reduce the voltage drop to the Norcold and keep it running longer while on battery only. But imo the current draw and 11.5 cut-off make the Norcold I’ll-suited to boondocking.

@blackc2004, 

What model and year TaB do you have?

It's a 2017 T@B 320 with the three-way fridge.
