Our trip as experienced in elevation

sranderle

We just finished a two week trip out west to take in some sights, and visit my wife's brother.  Our T@b did great once again.  A few missteps are cause for a couple of repairs, but just small things.  Low temp: 29, high temp: 99.  Drove the T@b over 10,000 feet to get to one of the campgrounds, and found another tab already there!  It was cold (not the coldest, though) and late, and we left early, so we didn't get a chance to meet the owner.  I believe it was a blue and white from Oregon.  We also saw red and white traveling down from Sunrise Visitor Center area.  We saw on T@b 400 and a couple of T@gs on the trip.  Otherwise it was just us.

Anyway, here's the goodies in the order camped!

I have not tracked Campground  elevations but have plotted my trip driving elevation profile,

See attached PDF

Am now in Casper, WY ~5,100 feet, on a West to East US Route 26 drive.

LOL, have just stopped at both locations on my US-26 West -2- East adventure.

I was at Lava Flows around Sep 12th, Gros Ventre around Sep 15th.

Western WY is full of T@B's . . . . never seen so many on any other trip!!!!

I'll have to go back and get some more data points to fill in a graph like yours.  It makes it a much more interesting discussion than I traveled 6000 miles.

We have never run across more than one or two T@bs on any trip.  Timing and location I guess.

I should add, our new tongue box, lithium batteries, and direct charging from our TV performed awesome.  I should have left the generator at home, as I never touched it.  I even ran the fridge all day on driving days, which used to drain our batteries some.

Anyone have any Alde issues at the higher elevations?

We only used ours a couple of times, as the trailer stayed plenty warm at 30 degrees.  But it worked fine when we did use it.  I had just changed fluid before the trip.

@BrianZ I have not had any issues at @ 8,500 ft in Colorado.  It is a little loud when first firing up and beginning to heat, (that also happens at my house in Denver) but once it starts warming it really seems to quiet down and I only hear it gurgling slightly maybe once or twice during the night.    I have read that others have had issues with theirs being very loud.   There is a post on here regarding a secondary propane regulator as a fix.
