Morning Jim and Shawn. Shawn, not to late to sign up for the FTE Rally in Gettysburg. It would be nice to see you and your bride there next month.

I had to replace the fridge in our 5th wheel a couple of years ago. Was cheaper to replace it than to fix it. Ammonia tubing was all shot. Going to Brookside up in enosburg for a couple of days. Friends from Florida camp there all summer. Small campground in the middle of nowhere.

Little rain this am was a surprise but makes the flowers and puppies grow

I have a very large window that is non operable to tease me when the weather is perfect to be out enjoying it.

Be nice to go with all electric but until they add full electric hookup at state parks, I need the propane option. reconditioned cooling unit was around $600, but should get $100 back for the core. Replacement fridge is $1100-1300

Ours was propane and electric but all the ammonia tubing was shot in the fridge so just replacing the cooling unit wasn't an option. Replacement Dometics are expensive for what you get. If I ever have to replace the fridge in the TC I will go with one of the new compressor units. With solar I have plenty of power to run a compressor fridge and they don't have the issues associated with propane.
