Hi all. I just wanted to follow up on my experiences with propane heater last year. Recall, I had elevation issues with the factory propane heater. After many months of complaining, Dometic replaced it last year (spring 2022). But it still had elevation problems. I was ready to take it out and...

Great news from Dometic today. They have offered to replace my propane heater (Dometic DFSD12-111 - original equipment) in hopes that it will solve they high elevation problem. So before I install the diesel heater (just purchased), I plan to give that a try. It is under warranty, so I have...

Delighted that you feel the moisture is gone. The higher heat output of the diesel heater may give that impression. Like all environmental control systems, if it works for you, then it is a success regardless of the physics of the system. From first law of thermodynamics, if the closed (i.e...

All I was saying is both Propane and Diesel heaters, if installed correctly with combustion vented to the outside, will not create additional water vapor inside. They cannot since all combustion is vented. In both cases, the inside air is simply heated. So, in theory, if both generate the same...

Wow, what a great forum group. Thanks everyone. Tocllie, glad you have no problems. Like your friends, I have must have gotten a lemon. Pushing Dometic to replace, but without a lawyer, doubt it will happen. NineLiteTrip, great idea with the Truma VaioHeat. Rated to 11,000 ft. Can tap into...

Thanks for note about your Dometic DFSD12-111 (type used in the Liberty) heater. Glad to know the Dometic unit is capable of high elevations. Big help. As I have long suspected, I think I have a lemon. Had problems above 8,000 ft last summer and fall (sometimes above 6,000 when below...

Wow, you were reading my mind. Yes, I have started to look into replacing the Dometic propane heater with a diesel heater. The biggest reason is the original Dometic propane heater has big problems with elevation. I have been trying to deal with them for 8 months to repair or replace the...

This is an update from my post on May 10, 2021 about power usage. That post was for non-winter camping. I have completed my first two winter camping trips with my 2021 Liberty. One to Ashville (20-50F) and one to NM/CO/UT (10F-40F) for skiing. Before going I added another 175W Renogy solar...

Thanks for the info on the weBoost Drive Boost. I have been using the "weBoost Drive Sleek (470135) Vehicle Cell Phone Signal Booster with Cradle Mount" ($200 on Amazon). I mounted it in the same location as your booster. As your video noted, easy access through the wall since with the...

Nice solar panel requirement summary. But do not forget, what is plugged in is critical. For me, a single 175 W panel works well with two AGM (210 amp-hr total) batteries. Note, I do not use it in the winter. I also have a spare 100 W panel with 50 ft cable under my bed (seriously, that is...

Thanks for the great vidoes, and all the comments. Helped me make the decision to purchase a new Liberty. It has been better than expected. Compared to my old Trail Lite trailer, the build qualtiy is excellent. Joints are tight, everything sealed, extremely well laid out, storage places...
