Residential fridges

[Mike Hohnstein]

Add a diesel fueled boiler with two zones. One for the chassis heater and water heater loop and one for the engine. I got one in the FC, it's a great addition.

This is the wonderful thing about the older birds. The LP does present
minor maintenance complications (just one more system to keep up with)
but boondocking ability is amazing and that was one of my goals in
buying a coach. I like the "emotional comfort" of having extended
range, self-containment. I don't like campgrounds, too formal, too
much time spent checking in and out, hooking up cables, parking,
observing rules, yadda yadda.... I just pull into the nearest truck
stop, rest area or Wal-Mart parking lot, turn the engine off and do my
thing. Only need to run the generator for AC or hot water (and that
I'm trying to figure out; I thought my hot water heater would burn
propane, but it doesn't seem to.) As a bonus, I save about forty bucks
a night.

My LP seems to last forever. I can run the furnaces far longer than I
ever expected; I've been running them 2 - 4 hours a day while hanging
out in the coach since November and still have 3/4 of a tank left. The
fridge and stove top don't take enough to even be measurable.
