I believe they even spoke of a high altitude kit that I verified that I did not have. I have now made two trips to Colorado and thus far have not had to even try the heater to see what the furnace may do. I suspect it may not run consistently if it did in fact start.
By contrast my Onan 5500 has an Altitude adjustment. Although 5,000 feet is as high as it will go. It was kind of strange because while we had no electrical service, my genset may have only run 4 hours; and that was to recharge batteries. It ran a lot more on the trip to Colorado because in Texas it was 90+ degrees when we left so we had both ACs running on the drive.
I did run the water heater and the Norcold fridge virtually the entire time with no issues. The fridge is on an]the inverter whenever we are driving though. When we are in motion with the RV, all of my propane items are always off / shutdown 100%.

I spent a week in CO in May mostly in Longmont and Glenwood Springs and had no problem with genny (2 hours a day) and heater at night. Glad to hear you enjoyed Cherry Creek or what we used to call "The Rez" when I was a kid and lived about three miles from there. Tent camped there the night I graduated HS. Always a great hangout for delinquents like I was lol.
