Replacing the 3 way fridge in a 2021 TAB400

Is there a good compressor fridge option to replace the Norcold 3 way refrigerator in a 2021 TAB400? We're at our wits end trying to make the propane work well enough to keep food safe. I've cleaned the burner, installed fans, etc. Works great on AC, but that wasn't really the point of a 3 way. Thanks, Mark

I was in same spot for a bit on a ‘22 400. Ended up finding the main propane regular, behind storage box was bad, not refrigerator at all.2022 TAB 400 Boondock, 2019 Toyota Tacoma Sport 4x4

Owners (and, me) sometimes overlook the simple parts of the trailer that can cause propane difficulties. It seems that even if one item doesn't work, other items do. Sometimes the regulator and propane pigtail changes can help.Which fridge do you have? The Norcold 4104 or 3104? When I contemplate changing out my 2017 propane fridge, I've discovered the "space" that many of these RV fridges fit into are relatively standard, and RV fridge manufacturers build fridges to fit standard spaces. Looking through the manuals for the installation instructions will explain the parameters/measurements of the fridge you have. Then you could work toward finding a fridge that fits that space.

I had a comment then realized you have a 400 so anything I had to say wasn't relevant.

This is the link to the Norcold 4104 manual. The specs for the fridge and the specs for the size of the "enclosure" are on page 18. These numbers would be for the propane fridge (3 way) which I would guess needs more space.This is an example of a 2 way fridge that "might" fit into that space. These are the types of numbers I looked at when thinking about taking my 2017 fridge out.

Thank you for that info. I've got a request into NuCamp to give me a price for installing the new refrigerator that they are using in the 2024 TAB400.2021 T@B400 Boondock
