Brad,

I had to replace my 12V air pump too - had an air
leak which caused it to run continuously and the
thermal protection melted down. I probably could
have opened it to fix it but being on the road,
it was faster to put in a new one. The air toilet has
a rather low quality Clippard air regulator which gives
me grief from time to time (defective o-ring which requires
a drop of air tool oil from time to time). This causes the
air pump to cycle too often. My short term fix is to
screw down the air stop valve thumbwheel when I'm
away from the coach for any period of time, the real
fix is to scrap the Clippard and put in a real regulator).

I have a dometic refrigerator (so far it's escaped the
recalls). I haven't tried running on propane so can't
comment on it's performance - on electricity, the thing
is phenomenal.

Regarding the Wanderlodge product line - let's hope
CCW does it better. If it were my company, I'd concentrate
on the high-end model and I'd discontinue everything
else (Newell style). Problem is, buying used doesn't give
me a lot of clout over new designs.
