dry camping
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 John Heckman central Pa 1973 FC > > Just purchased a 2005 LXi and need some advice on dry camping.
