Elkmont refrig - 2-way or 3-way?

[Bill]

Some years back, we had a long discussion on this board about using an inverter to power the TM's 3-way refrig while on the road. The motivation was partly the same - reluctance to leave propane turned on - and partly different - the inability of some tow vehicles to supply enough 12-volt power to run the refrig, and the resulting dead TM battery at the end of the day.

A lot of the discussion seems to be missing, undoubtedly lost in the board conversion that happened in 2002. However, there might be some useful content left.

Hello Bill: If this applies to the Elkmont refrigerator, would you be able to give me access (or reprint info here)? I cannot get the link to work. Thank you, von iams

You do not have access to that thread because your 30-day trial membership expired last year. As a result, you are missing about 90% of the forum, which is alot of info!

That thread had posts from a number of members discussing a few different ideas. You can gain access to it and the other 90% of the forum that you are missing by becoming a member for $12/year. The membership helps defray the expenses of running this forum, and prevents having advertisements being plastered all over the place.

In my opinion, and I think in the opinion of most, if not all, of our active members, the cost is a pittance in comparison to the cost of ownership of a TM, and will likely be the best $12 you'll ever spend in relation to your trailer. It has been for me, and I'm coming up on my 4th year of membership.

More info, and a link to sign up for membership, is here:

Could not access this part of forum. We re-newed our membership when purchased Elkmont in Oct. '09. Pls advise. Thank you, von iams

Correction: Ours is a 2010 24'Elkmont, just checked data sheet.
Says completed Aug 2009, we purchased it late in Sept. '09
Sorry for error, vonnie iams

Regarding your membership. You initially joined in July '09, and the renewed in October '09. To renew requires payment of the $12 sponsor fee, as outlined in the post pointed out by ShrimpBurrito. You can't renew without it. If you paid the fee and still are not a Site Sponsor, please send a PM (Private Message) to Chris Tretta (member screen name Chris). In it, tell him when you paid, how you paid (check, PayPal, etc), and any relevant information such as check number or PayPal confirmation number. Be sure to include an email address and your real name, since the payment will probably not reflect your screen name. It can be hard to associate a check from Jane Doe with member name GirlDeer.

Chris doesn't check in every day, but he is real good about this stuff. If you don't have an answer in a week, repeat the query in an email to [email protected]. I'll be gone for a bit, but I will send him a query as well.

Thank you, heard from webmaster. Appears ck I sent was for TrailBlazers. Will send $ for full access this week. Thanks again, von iams

Iamstrail -

Thanks for letting us (me) know the result of the membership renewal question. Not often, but once in a while, the problem that you described occurs, and sometimes it is hard to trace down. It never occurred to me that it might be a mixup with the Trailblazers membership. Next time, I'll be smarter, and ask that first.

Thanks again.

Bill
