RE: 12v Fridge
Steve, I feel your joy when it comes to the DC refrigerators.  I took off
late Friday afternoon and ran up to Oak Harbor for Friday and Saturday
nights, helping with a star party for some students from NAS Whidbey.  By
the time I got to Oak Harbor and set up in the camp ground the Norcold was
at 39 degrees.  Just turn the switch and forget it.  Well worth the money
and effort for me.

BTW, the reason I mentioned the squeak going away is that most assume that
it will be the upper control arm bushings.  The mechanic doing the work had
assumed that.  But the bushings were fine and tight.  But the boots were
long gone on the upper ball joints and one was very rusty.  I assume that is
where the squeak was.  I had no indication in the handling or steering or
tire wear that the ball joints might be at risk or causing any problems.
