I haven’t seen it yet but it’s 29 feet. I have no concept of how big that is. Also, apparently it has no generator and must be plugged in? How big is yours... and does yours have a generator? |

Solar panels are used to charge batteries Can take a hot shower or have heat Battery runs water pump and heat fan. Use propane for heat and hot water. Still no AC Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

I think most RV's it will run on electric or propane. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

I run it on electricity but can switch to propane if boondocking. I have to defrost it next week. Yup , old tech. Frost building up. It's been working great. Really depend on it because I like to cook Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Do you switch it to propane when towing or does it stay cold long enough? At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |
