Not trying to hijack the post, but has anyone performed the 12v compressor conversion on the Norcold 18ft unit. If so what are their experience and how difficult was the conversion?

Testing the capacitor
I agree with testing or just replacing the capacitor. It is an easy, fairly cheap job that just might save a lot of $. If dead it would look like you have a problem with the compressor.

Just a thought
Since you recently had the "bearings packed" you might pull them off and look at them to make sure a seal hasn't leaked due to poor workmanship and that you may have grease on the brakes. Also at...

Moryde pin box
This is a great system, on my second trailer with one. The install system using the truck bed tailgate is the one I used the only issue then is getting it on and off the truck, they are heavy.

No need to plug in
I agree with Jim and Dick, a well charged battery with no drain on the system will make it through the winter with no problem.

90 degree power adapter

55mph speed
I agree that driving 55 creates an unsafe situation but the CHP has lobbied against changing i it. I also agree that that you can safely push 63 if not 65, especially if traffic is moving.
