While in Albuquerque, take time to ride the Tram to the top of Sandia. There is a neat restaurant up there with good food. Go up in the late PM so you can see the sunset from up there and then the lights of the city come on. If you make a reservation at the Restaurant for dinner, then you will get a discount on the tram ride up. The restaurant's name is "High Finance"! There is a Rattlesnake museum in Old Town, if you like such. A very good Native American museum in the Old Town area also. There is a nice Museum of Atomic Energy near one of the main gates into the Sandia Labs/Air Force base. I believe that it is on Eubank Ave, just a little south of I40.

There are a number of public parks, County, State and Federal, that specifically prohibit dumping grey water on the ground. I'm sure that you guys don't filter the food particles out of the water before dumping. It can attract all manner of bugs and critters, not to mention causing a foul smell.

YEP!

We have a Whirlpool 21.7 french door refer in our 2008 Phaeton, 40QSH. It is in the hall. The Refer doors sticks out 2 1/2 inches from the cabinet, the handles another 2 1/2 inches. This is not a problem. The refer does set much farther into the cabinet than the Norcold. The area occupied by the coils, gas burner, etc on the Norcold are is occupied by refridgerator now! And the Whirlpool doesn't burn up motorhomes like the Norcolds do! There might be stick out issues with other brands of refers, but not the Whirlpool. The Whirlpool model number (from the sticker inside the refer) is EDZKHAXVL01, manufactured 05/11. The best upgrade that we have made in our coach.

A 21.7 CF Whirlpool double door refer fits nicely in the hole vacated by the Norcold 1200.

Remove the "Key". The ignition should be off. The key fob stays in my pocket. At least that's what you do on the 2012. The doors don't want to lock unless the keyfob is out of the car. This makes it interesting when DW wants to leave her purse with a fob in it in the car and I try to lock the doors! OBTW- 7K miles now. Another 260 miles Tomorrow. Have not touched the Jeep in three days, will be 4 days towing when we unhook tomorrow.

I don't know the reason, but that's the way you do it. We have towed 5 Jeeps with automatic transmissions, including a Liberty, and that's how they all worked. (Except the last 2 didn't or don't have steering wheel locks, so no need to turn the key to the first click!)

I went through three Surge Guards in 13 months. After the last one died, I got a PI 50 amp unit. That was 3 years ago. The PI has saved our bacon several times and still works perfectly. I do have the hard wired variety.

The drive into Chaco Canyon from Hwy 550 is a long dirt washboard road which will shake your teeth out. We took our older gas coach into the canyon a few years ago, never again. Find somewhere outside the canyon to leave your coach and take the toad in.

I never start my toad while towing, and I have never had to with 4 different Jeep toads. I have towed up to 5 days at a time, with no starting.

Actually, when they were down below 100 lbs, it was because I hadn't added air in almost a year. I kept putting it off because of laziness, not wanting to add air in a truckstop because of warm/hot tires and the fact that using the engine compressor is a pita.

That video re-enforces my point above, except that I didn't mention taking air out of the tire! I like having a separate compressor that has the capability to handle big tires, and it can power nail guns, inflate bike tires, floats and balls, etc.

You don't understand my post. The engine is running. The pressure in the tank is 125PSI, the tire pressure is 100PSI. The tank pressure drops as the tires are filled. The Pressure in the tank equalizes withe the tire at 102PSI, but the compressor does not kick in until the tank pressure is 90PSI, therefore I must bleed the tank pressure down to 90PSI before the compressor will kick back in to raise the pressure back to a number high enough to force more air into the tire to get to 110PSI. Sure I can do that, but it makes airing up a PITA. The separate compressor is easier and more straightforward, in my opinion , If you like doing it your way, bless your heart and go for it, I like my way better and that's what makes the world go around!

That works, I don't have a TPMS on my coach.

There are several reasons. The onboard air pump does not cycle until the pressure in the tank gets below about 90 lbs, therefore to get to 100 -110, you must stop filling and bleed the tank multiple times to approach 100 lbs. The compresser on my coach shuts off at 125 lbs, so this is a pita. The Porter Cable that I mentioned above cycles at 135 lbs, and shuts off at 165 lbs. The recommended pressures for tires are cold pressures, if you crank and drive, you now have warm tires, or hot tires, depending upon how far away the closest truck stop is. I prefer not to crank and idle my diesel if I am not going to drive somewhere, so I don't want to crank, fill and bleed, and then shut back down. Also, I like having the ability to use pneumatic brad nailers for small projects around the "house" without cranking the diesel. I don't work hammers very well. Of course, this means even more equipment in the MH!

Porter-Cable makes a 4 Gallon pancake compressor that tops out at 165 psi. About $185 at Amazon, free delivery if you are a Prime member. Weighs about 25 lbs and fits nicely in one of my underbelly compartments.

Not listed in the 2010 towing guide. The only listed towable Nissans are straight shifts!

I tow a 2012 GC Overland. The 2012 and 2013 are basically the same vehicle. The 2013 is a placeholder for the 2014, which was announced in January to be available this spring. The CGs (and late model Wranglers) do not have a steering wheel lock, therefore there is no need to turn a key to allow them to be towed. You only need to disconnect the battery if a key has been turned. There is no "key" on the GC anyway. Towing the GC with the battery connected is no different than letting it sit in a parking lot for several days and not running the engine. The reason for battery disconnect is to keep the electronics in the vehicle from running the battery down when the ignition is "on". I have towed my GC for about 6K miles since I bought it last September, with no issues.

You don't have to disconnect the battery, there is no key to leave in a certain position. The only reason to disconnect the battery is if you have to turn a key to unlock a steering wheel. Then, leaving the key turned can run down the battery. There is no steering wheel lock on a 2012 -2013 Grand Cherokee. The 12 and 13 are basically the same vehicles, with a few cosmetic changes. The 13 is a placeholder for the 2014. Besides, disconnecting the battery makes it difficult for a Brake Buddy or the like to operate, unless you run a power line from the towing coach. I have towed my 2012 about 5000 miles so far with the battery connected and no key anywhere. All I do is put the transfer case in neutral, hook up the towbar, safety cables and wires, install the Brake unit and go. I have towed up to 4 days without unhooking, starting the towed, or anything.

We drove that stretch west to east in 2000, in a 31 ft Gas coach pulling a Jeep Cherokee. Had no issues. We try to cover 250 - 350 miles a day when traveling, unless there are things to see, That area is very scenic. If you can take the time to go to Glacier NP, you wont be disappointed!

That's 1/4" on each side. It's going to take a really precise effort to get it through the door without damaging something!

Most likely no on the door. Either the windshield or a side window. My coach as a large window in the drivers side slide which was used. A forklift was used to get the old Notsocold out and the new Whirlpool in. A small refer might go in the door if you are replacing a small, say 6 - 8 cf gas refer. The twelve footers won't go out the door, and a 21.7 footer sure won't go in.....

If the Xantrex inverters were working as advertised, the refrigerator should not know the difference between inverter power and residential line power! A modified sine wave inverter is another story. The 750 might not put out enough juice to run the refer.

What size PS inverter do you have? We have a 2.8K PS inverter (with 6 AGM Batterys) and it runs the RR just fine.

We added a 21.7 CF Whirlpool about 2 years ago, not a peep out of it so far, and we live in the coach fulltime. We travel from Alabama to the west coast at least once a year, and root around the rest of the country in between. Do about 10K miles per year. It is the best improvement that you can make to your coach.
