Refrigerator & High Altitude
I've got a Dometic 2852RBX that works ok most of the time, but when I had it at 9,750' last year it kept going out and wouldn't relight. It would try, but I'd come back after being gone for awhile, or...

The dealer said most fridges work at Taylor Park (the 9750 location).
I was wondering if that was the location in question and would agree with what you were told by the dealer. I was at TP last fall, along with the year before, and did not have an issue either time with my fridge while boondocking. However, I don't believe I was at quite the 9750' elevation camping as I was just to the north side of the reservoir. I know that the elevation at the outpost is around 9400' but of course you could get full hook-ups there and run off of electricity... but what a shame to not boodock in that area. Regardless, that difference in elevation is not much and I would expect the same in and around TP.
My small generator was a different story in terms of altitude. I could not even run a coffee maker on the generator, nothing else. My gen is not jetted for high altitude and is only a 2000W gen. The gen definitely showed effects of being at altitude.
For the life of me though, I can't recall the specific fridge I have for a comparison as my TT is in storage right now.
