I can only guess you had something wrong with your Norcold, or it was installed improperly. We have none of the deficiencies you discuss. I start mine on LP with I get it out of storage after work and by morning it is making ice. I have a fridge thermometer in there and at times I have even had to turn it down to keep it from freezing the below compartments. On a 100 degree day I have it set on 5. It fills the ice tray each day, at least as fast as both of our residential fridges at home.
In short, you shouldn't experience much of a difference in performance between a residential or RV fridge, unless something is wrong. Want to cool it quick, throw in a bag of ice in the freezer when you start it, it will be cold enough to add food within an hour, then you can dump the ice. It takes more effort to cool an empty fridge than a full one.
When it's Miller time, I look to the Kodiak!
