We had our RV on shore power from 5pm yesterday to 9am this morning. Freezer at setting (5) got to 20F Refrigerator on setting (5) got to 44
We drove about 4 hours with system using the battery. System stayed on
It’s now 9pm 24 hours later and freeze is 20F and refrigerator is 45F
We also tried restarting once we arrived by turning it off for 10 minutes before restarting
Today is about 85F. All our other trips were cooler , not cold but highs in low 70s. The freezer got to more like 10F and refrigerator to more like 36F.
What are you guys seeing? This is the Norcold 10cuft that is 12v dc only. No propane, all electric. KZ Connect RB261 2020
Thanks in advance for any insights

Next day morning update. Freezer 16F - has not been opened in 12 hours Refrigerator 40 on setting (4) at 6am. Moved to (5) and after opening a few times for breakfast it’s 38F at 7:53 My wife suggested setting to (3) for a while and then setting to (4) before bed. That seemed to work…. Or it just needed a lot more time Or DW was right as usual. Happy camping

No issues so far with mine. I do have one of those little fans I keep in it to try to help with circulation but that wouldn't explain your freezer.

We added a battery operated fan for this trip too I think it was just struggling because the side with refrigerator faced south at this site. So far today it’s doing much better with refrigerator 38F right now Freezer 21F

Another day and refrigerator is holding well as long as we aren't opening the door too much Freezer Freezer setting (5) low of 15F, but bounced up to 31 when we got ice out Refrigerator setting (4) got as low as 35F, and we got some items out bounced to 43F but now back to 37 I guess it's just the nature of RV refrigerators
