dry camping

[bubblerboy64]

Jerry, Your manuals should be of help here. Essentially the
generator
supplies 110 volts for things for which for lack of a better term I
will call house hold electric devices. Air conditioning and the
micro
wave are two items which in my old bus are only run when I am
plugged into a shore line or running my generator. The refrig can
be
run on propane and the lights and fans to the heaters are 12 volt
DC.
So I can dry camp and only run the generator If I need to use the
two
items mentioned or to watch television which in my ole girl is run
strickly on the 110 volt currents. Now, you have a much newer ( way
newer bus) and I have to think that in addition you have an inverter
which takes power from you battery banks to run some of your 110
applicances like the TV I would think certainly. This should be
outlined in your manuals and I am certain others with similar
equipment will chip in here. So the dealers is right and wrong. If
you camp with no electic plug in you will be limited to a degree as
to
what and how long you can run your verious equipment.

I can hardly believe they sold you a bus of the caliber you no doubt
are the very proud owner of with out giving you a little more help
and
information
