We knew this when we took delivery as we were contacted about it after the PDI, 6 days in advance. The frig works fine otherwise. We were told there was a bad batch of boards and that there was a backlog to get one. My question is, how long should we give the dealer to get the board in to make the frig right? Thank you.

Here is the link to there site http://www.dinosaurelectronics.com/
You will have to search you model number of fridge or board. They may be a little more cost than the stock but may be worth it. I have a spare board for our water heater for when it fails at the wrong time, it has already failed but was replace under warranty.

First, the demand for new RVs is extremely high. Lots of folks no longer want to stay in hotels with the virus concerns, so they are purchasing RVs instead. This is causing all of the RV manufacturers and their supply chain to work extra hard to get their parts delivered on time.
The second reason is that many factories are faced with worker shortages for a number of virus driven reasons. If a worker gets sick, they may have to quarantine the whole line for two weeks. And some workers have child care issues and other reasons that they can't get to work.
It's causing a perfect storm for parts shortages and delays.

The official manufacture date of the RV will be recorded on the side of your trailer. Look on the front left side for the axle tag. In the example below, you can see my RV was manufactured in Sept/2016.
For warranty purposes, the date should be the day that you purchased the trailer.

For the registration issue...I can only suggest contacting Norcold on the phone to get that figured out.
