I never realized how many torque wrenches we actually owned. Two shallow drawers full.. Is what it is. 🙂

Back in the day , 2008, we had a number of liberties. Not sustainable, in a production line. Let me know if you need fabric choices for new cushions.

I suspect they all wish they'd gone hiking that day, instead. Fortunately, no serious injuries, except to the suv: https://www.nps.gov/yell/learn/news/240712.htm

You could wrap a chunk of pool noodle or, make a new one pretty easily, with a bit of luan, a piece of foam, and some velcro. Mines still in pretty nice shape, 16 seasons in, surprisingly. But, so are my cushions. Back on the day, we were allowed to buy and send our own fabric to the upholstered. I chose a commercial grade, stain resistant coated fabric, and that has possibly made a difference. Sorry if I "gumped" you.

You may want to call Victron or Victron rep and have a chat. They're both great units. Same warranty. Some many discussions on victron forum https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/63741/difference-between-multiplus-and-multiplus-ii.html

If you never hit your head, let it go. I do occasionally hit it, and I'm only 5'4". Cover it with the new fabric you choose, and put it back? You could use velcro, instead of screws, if you just want to put it up "sometimes." Our beloved head bump was installed that way, originally.

So, at least three Titan tow vehicles in our forum group. Imelda (Titan SV) and RoadLotus and KennyandPenny tow with Titan XDs. I was surprised to find that many. You could pm them for more info on their experiences.

I'm sure you'll be fine, considering the two capacity, with an Andersen. I think there is at least one person here towing with a Titan XD, but I can't remember who. I'll see if I can find him or her for you. Since Nissan only sold about 40,000 Titans over the last two years (compare to 750,000 f-series in 2023 alone), it's not too surprising that we don't see much about them. I'm sure you're enjoying that 5 year warranty, and Nissan's great, comfortable seats. One of my friends tows her casita with a Nissan Frontier, and she loves it.

Wouldn't work well with a composting toilet.

We rarely replace working equipment, also.

@jd1923, it's easy, and you will make your wife very happy, imo.

"If" I powdercoated the steps, I'd probably go with silver. Aluminum color. I treat mine with garage door silicone spray, and no issues. White would undoubtedly get really dirty looking, riding where they do. The incredibly sturdy double step is standard for most of you, but it was an upgrade (years later) for those of us with 2008's. I cracked a rib on a crazy site trying to reach a footstool below the step. 2010? It flipped. Anyway, one of the best upgrades, ever, standard for all you new folks.

We used a plug in "cigarette plug" charger for laptop. Don't carry one anymore. Phones and USB tablet are fine. We don't watch TV, so yeah, not an issue. I have 12v hair dryer (somewhere, havent used it in 20 years) and a 12v blender, from the late 70s. I cook on fire, grill, or lp stove. We're admittedly oddball. We camp to get away from the signals and entanglement, but keep a line open for family. I honestly don't care about ever getting another hard-wired inverter. But that's me. Everyone has a different camping style, and they should equip their trailer accordingly.

Call Ryan at Blue sky/sunforge. Or, send him an email. He's so very helpful. Our Blue Sky gear has been incredibly dependable.

Yes. I'm in that "no inverter " camp. I'm used to 12v life, for 40 + years. We had one, for a few years, didn't use it much, so removed it. Everyone has a different camping style. Pick your batteries and gear for what you need, and want. It's all good.

We've had the fan, with the soft led ring light for almost four years now. It's the bomb. Quiet. The overhead light is a joy. Plus, easily accessible fuse, should we ever need to replace it. Install was easy, as I recall. I'm sure I have a post somewhere.

If that gives air movement to the fridge cavity, yes, I think it might help.

I used to have to do the same defrosting with my Norcold 3way. It just took longer, with the bigger freezer. 🙂 I liked mine, too, til it didn't work.

That little plastic tray under the freezer is a drip try. There is no condensate tube (at least not in mine.) It should be checked every day or two, and dumped. Defrosting is required in mine every week to 20 days, depending on humidity, and how many times a day the door is opened. I don't find defrosting to be a huge pain. I do it the day before grocery shopping. Turn off fridge. Empty contents into a cooler. Cover cooler, and shove it down the aisle. I have an old Tupperware "bread saver" that I full with warm/hottish water. Stick it in the freezer. Put the veggie bin up on the top shelf, put a towel on the shelf below. Depending on ice buildup, maybe replace water in the Tupperware once or twice. A microwave towel to wipe interior a few times, a dump of the veggie bin, and usually in 15 to 20 minutes, max, my fridge is ready to load. 45 in the veggie bin is actually good for many veggies. I got rid of the glass shelf. I have wire shelves everywhere. Don't hang too much heavy stuff on the door. Check seals. Dollar bill test. I routinely push in on the bottom frer corner when I close the door. A tight seal every time means less air intrusion, less frost buildup. I have a mental map of fridge contents. My husband is not allowed to open the door, leave it hanging open, and search. I'd rather get it for him. (Same at home.)

@rich.dev, I've wondered the same, as you see above. Our danfoss/secop fridge was a retrofit. We installed extra insulation on sides and top of the cavity, still leaving lots of air circulation space, plus a drawer beneath. Our fridge sits on epoxy tabbed in 2x 3's, above a drawer. We also have air infiltration on the sides. I can, and do , open the drawer many times a day, and could leave it ajar a bit for a ton of extra air, if necessary. I "think" if the standard ollie installed requires more lower air, there's usually an access from beneath the drawers. Open it up, and see how/if it helps. The fridge cavity used to be sealed, for three ways needs. N9 longer necessary. We did seal the outside vents, to prevent intrusion from dust/dirt/ mud daubers,etc.

Glad you like it. Good job on the insulation. I'm sure it's helpful. I probably would have used stainless vents, to be the same as ours. I do love our air fryers, at home. Mini convection oven, without the he whole downstairs heat.

In our retrofit install of the tf130, we sealed both vents. (We had both.) We added insulation to the vents, and the sides of the cavity, still leaving an airgap around the fridge. Made sure we had more than 24 square inches of venting, to the interior. No more screening necessary to keep mud daubers out. We've never had an overtemp issue in ours. Normally run the fridge on 5 or so. But, we don't camp in 95 or 100+ degree weather, either. I leave that to younger, more heat tolerant folks. We do keep plenty of cold sink foods/beverages in the fridge. All fridges seem to work better when loaded, vs empty/lightly loaded. As someone else suggested, all the cold comes from the tiny freezer. I think the temp sensor is within the wall of the freezer, as well. There are some air slots at the back. Maybe move your fan from center to left, and try to draw more cool air from the freezer? You could also have a faulty thermostat. Isotherm sells a kit which includes a sensor in the fridge cavity, as well. Many boater use it. I think Overland installed it for his, maybe. I'll see what I find. The other suggestions of shading the fridge side are good. Wondering if you have a true 24 square inches of interior venting?

@jd1923, the op reports that he has an isotherm/dc danfoss compressor fridge. 2016s like yours had 3ways as original equipment. Have ypu upgraded yours? @DunnYet, we've never used a fan in our truckfridge (similar to your isotherm. Same interior, same compressor.) Try without it. Your isotherm vents to the interior of the trailer, not exterior. Is anything blocking interior venting? Any ice buildup in the shoebox freezer?

Your blue sky will likely show nothing til it senses it's hit 100 per cent. It works on algorithms, and reset is 100 per cent. Call or email Ryan at Blue Sky if you continue to have problems. He's truly a wizard. Totally knowledgeable. Great guy.
