Kits for RV refrigerators allow low temperature operation

To extend the camping season as well as support full-time RVers and others using recreational vehicles for worksite living in the winter, Norcold is now producing cold weather kits that allow RV refrigerators to operate in ambient temps down to 0°F. RVers previously needed makeshift solutions to maintain proper refrigerator operation at temps below 32°F.

As of October 1, factory-installed Cold Weather Kits are standard on Norcold's popular N641.3 and N841.3 gas absorption models. The kit is also available separately to allow current Norcold refrigerator owners to retrofit their Norcold 6-, 8-, 10-, 12- and 17-cubic foot models.

Based in Sidney, Ohio, Norcold is America's leading maker of gas-absorption refrigerator/freezers for the RV, marine and truck markets. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thetford Corporation, which is headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Thank you so much for this information! About a year ago I purchased a Norcold cooling unit from a local RV parts store near my home (TVforMyRV.com) and it's been working great, however, my husband and I have always been worried about the performance of our refrigerator in the winter months when we travel the most. I certainly will now look into retrofitting my model with this cold weather kit for my N841.

Thanks again!
