Yes Tom that is what I was thinking about, the compressor compartment and the floor would allow major air leak in and out as well as the sides. I'm thinking foam panels could be used to fill any void and taped into place before the refrigerator is pushed into the wall? Of course it would be plugged in and water line hooked up before it is pushes in the wall. I'm thinking the panels can come from Home Depot or Lowes that is used in siding. That would beef up the insulation that is already there and close up the holes at the same time.

I know $30 sounds great but the boss ( wife) says she don't want to change those item and is happy with the way it is. Now if I can only get her to stop trying to change me. Thanks for the offer.

One major question about the fridge conversion. What do you do about the rear and roof vent since it would allow heat out from under the fridge in the winter and heat in during the summer?

The Allison transmission does have a sensor on the transmission for speedo back then. I recall the speed sensor to be on one side of the transmission and the backup switch to be on the other. I had problems with dirt with the backup switch when I had my 93 Southwind as the backup camera wouldn't come on as a result. Check your connection at the transmission.

I replaced my Xantrex Echo Charger because it got damp and burned out. I had to move it to a dryer location to prevent that from happening again. The one you got looks more water proof and I wish I seen this before replacing mine as replacing the existing one would had been more simple by leaving in same location. I hope the product works well for you as I wouldn't be without one.

I don't know the details of what happen to your tires but Tireman9 could tell you how to protect your tires from UV rays. Most of the cracking comes when the coach is parked and tire covers can help. I tend to protect my tires with tire dressing as it gives the tires an appealing look and is better than nothing.

I went to Camping World and got thick pads made out of recycle tires call HossPad.

Bill, go to Flying J or Pilot in Oregon and get the better price. Seven Feathers would only give three cents with players club so I saved by going to next Flying J/Pilot north.

There is clearly lots of mountains on your route in that area that would decrease mileage. Once you got a little SE less mountains so better mileage. Like Brett said over 5% bio mileage will suffer. Same goes for gasoline that has 10% or more ethanol, less performance and mileage.

I heard you can bounce them out with dryer sheets. What I did when I had a mouse is install one of my cats overnight. That mouse was so scared it went into hiding in one of the cabinets and died of starvation.

Yes I guess I will be setting the tire pressures with a good hand gauge and let the spinning dabbers be the alarm.

To all that don't like Norcold 1200 or 1210, you should read this description of this model just for fun. http://norcoldparts.com/norcold-1200-1210-refrigerator-parts-products/?sort=featured&page=2

Joe, I would be interested in a bottom drawer, the two plastic dividers for them and a couple of door shelf. I see you live in Pennsylvania and would need to ship. Let me know what the total cost would be if your will to ship. I'm in Washington state and Hershey would be too far for us to travel. Ray

Yes Brett on both points you made.

I'm not saying it couldn't fail. All refrigerators do in time if not falling apart. Just no need to replace if minor part is needed. Residential refrigerators came a long way and was a huge power hog. Still if I was full timing and had major problem then it would be worth changing. It's only my home a few months out of the year. Of all the ones that failed which year coach were they in? Tom, you need a diet Pepsi instead.

Yes the internal temperature on the diaphragm at the end of the stem is different than internal tire temperature. If the temperature raised enough to set off the alarm I would believe pressure would of raised quicker.

Yes I think that is the old trucker way, walk around at every stop and hit it with a stick, If it sounds good your on your way. If I have as much trouble as Jim with mine I believe I will be boxing them and putting them in the rear compartment. This so far gives me more worries when I drive and should leave it alone unless a alarm goes off.

Wow Jim, sounds like my issues are far less than yours. When I check today temperature and pressure on left rear inner tire is stuck at 112 psi and 89 degrees I'm betting that sensor is bad. I haven't driven it in three weeks and it never came down. Well I decided to pull all the sensor, swap bad one for one for toad. Reset unit for reprogram, install booster since I need for the toad later and reprogram after inflating tires with good tire gauge. Once I get the coach working then I have to get the toad ready. I think I have to swap out the sensor for the toad because of factory monitor may have aluminum stems. I'm still waiting for email from tireminder before going ahead with it. An email from tireman9 explained why the temperature raised when stopped since not internal tire temperature. Coming to the rest stop using the brakes caused it to heat up enough for the sensors to pick it up. That really explained what happen there. I also have other things to worry about as if I didn't have enough to do I'm upgrading the TV's. Two high tech smart TV's, one 32' for the bedroom and 40' in the front. Want to get them done before a chapter rally coming on the 25th.

Yes the tire pressure did raise about 5 lbs while driving but the sensors or monitor was reading 5 lbs high when cold. They claim accuracy within 2.7%. That means that at 120 PSI it should be no higher than 123.24 psi or no lower than 116.76 psi. The tire gauges has been tested against factory tire monitor system such as my 2012 Cadillac SRX. On many cars you can bring the tire pressure reading on the dash and even watch it change while driving with a touch on a button. True many don't have temperature readings but that was one of their selling points that temperature increase before a blowout. Why sell something with a feature that don't work? I am disappointed with the performance of the tire minders and think others should be warned that they are not what you may think they are. I'm going to contact the factory and see if they have an answer to my concerns. I will let all know the response.

I attended a tire seminar in Redmond. OR this year and I remember it being stressed to get a tire pressure monitor for the coach and toad. I did so before leaving the reunion and was quite disturbed by the operation of them. These have sensors that screws on the end of the valve stems and transmit to a receiver kept in the coach. I didn't have the toad with me at the time so I only installed the sensors on the coach. Tire are Michelin 275/70R22.5 XZA2 Energy with about 7,000 miles on them and less than a year old. The first thing I noticed is that reading from all the senors on the monitor itself is reading 5 lbs too high. I verified it with two known good tire gauges. The second thing I noticed is the temperature started out normal but didn't raise much while driving. When I stopped at a rest stop in Washington then the temperature raised about 10 degrees in about five minutes. I wonder how in the world are these sensors supposed to get internal tire temperature if it is spinning around on the stem on the outside of the rim? Maybe there should be a seminar on tire monitors so it could be explained what a misfit add on are. Nothing like the tire monitors that comes with the vehicles today. Hopefully for me it's not $410.00 wasted. TireMinder monitor, charger, 10 sensors, booster and 10 extra batteries. http://www.minderresearch.com/tireminder/tireminder-tpms-with-6-sensors-and-a-signal-booster-tmg400c-6/

It what ever what makes you feel better for what refrigerator you want. I don't think scaring someone to convert because the need of some other repair or part is something we should do as the OP asked for a part. I know it took a couple of tries to get the recall to work as it should but it does help with the problem accused by consumer. I supposed that is why the company was being so hardheaded because the consumers demanding recall parts for one not included in the recall as to hold the company hands over the fire. That is why they want only experts to handle any part of the recall including resetting the box. Some good dealers keep the recall kit in stock. My dealer installed it on my coach last spring of 2013 when in for check up for that summers travel. If there is no major problems with my current refrigerator I can not justified replacing it for I use it only a few months out of the year. Of course if I was full timing I would consider it as well as a for other upgrades such as large screen smart TV's
