I like the overflow diverter tube, and wish my 2018 had that. My fill port is in the front, right against grill, but I have to keep a hose or bucket of water with me when I fill it in case I overdo...

The plug for mine is buried inside the cabinet and is hard to get to. SWD or HID rated breakers are for switching fluorescent or high-intensity discharge lighting loads at 120V or 277V (HID rated...

My Norcold DE-0061 is an AC/DC compressor fridge/freezer of 7 cf capacity, and draws about 5A or so when it runs, which is about 40% of the time on a warm day (I timed it). That’s about 48Ah/day. ...

My Jeep Grand Cherokee with the EcoDiesel had a similar device. It would only allow the 15/16” diesel nozzle, which is supposed to be the standard in North America for car-sized diesel fills. ...

Which brings up another question - did your dealer blow the lines out with air, or did they use antifreeze? And if they used antifreeze, did they drain and bypass the Truma Combi? Do the Truma cold...

If you leave the heat on, you'll need to leave 12V battery power on for the controls and tank heaters, and pass-through 120V power on for heating elements in the Truma. How much of a chance do you...

Given those conditions, and its use as a daily driver rather than daily camper, at most I would open the low-point drains when cold is expected, if any pipes are exposed on the underside. But a few...

That's a fair point, but the reason I'm rotating them is that the local M-B dealer did a front end alignment for me at 17k miles, due to it wandering all over the road, but in the following 7k miles...

I would use a 12VDC or 120VAC/12VDC fridge/freezer rather than a 120V residential. The extra draw of the inverter, even on standby, is just parasitic and provides no benefit when no other AC loads...

From the brochure (printed in 2014), it looks like standard battery complement is four 6V AGM deep cycles, and the E Trek option adds another four. That would be pretty hard to hide. Since it has...
