Looking at your route, trip length, and time of year, I would consider skipping CO altogether and heading south from Moab towards Monticello/Blanding. You could cut over to Mesa Verde from there...

Bummer that the glass broke, that's frustrating. I am a longtime 1Up fan and still use a 1Up on our 19, but I can't say I'm surprised. We have also experienced multiple instances of handlebar...

Speaking from experience...don't do it. Stick with a two-bike hitch rack and then put any others on a roof rack on your LX. The Escape hitch is only rated for 150 lbs., so most combinations of four...

Although I don’t disagree with the suggested alternative sites around Moab, it’s hard to understate how nuts things have gotten around there in the last 2-3 years. Much, much busier than even five...

I also think that the pressure increases well beyond 50 psi when the water heater heats up from cold to full temp without any use of taps/toilet. In the two instances we have experienced water...

We took our 19 through in 2017 and had no issues. They did measure at the booth, though.

Not sure if earlier posts made it clear, but if you are having issues at altitude then you will also want to be checking and adjusting the propane pressure at altitude. It checks out fine now because...

I haven't towed with a GX, but I think it would be a great match for a 17. (This is based on my experience towing our 19 with a 4th Gen 4Runner and 5.7 Land Cruiser.) Excellent intersection of...

There should be a threaded port on the side of your regulator for this purpose. At least that's where it is on our 2016 E19. The inch numbers referenced in this thread and others (e.g., 11 inches)...

I wouldn't go without the storage box, exterior hatch, or rooftop solar/dual 6V batteries. With solar, the only time we usually plug in is to cool the fridge before a trip. Plenty of power even in...
