a few quick BB questions

[mbulriss]

Can't really respond to the FC questions, but on the: Why do many BB's
have 3 A/C's? Some reasons include that the 80 models were set up as
separate zones for heating and cooling so you could have different
settings in the bedroom, galley and front of the coach, especially if
the bedroom was closed off while someone was napping. Also, these are
steel bodied coaches - in 100+ degree temps in south Texas in the
summer, 3 ACs cool the entire coach a whole lot better than 2. The
12.5kw genset makes it easy to run all 3 Acs, plus ice maker,
refrig/freezer, microwave, blender, TV, battery chargers when dry
camping in aforementioned heat.
