No mistake at all, please. I hadn't thought it through in re RV energy storage and the benefit of extending the range of the rig, not just its' appliances, so allow me the thanks in putting it all down in one place. (One place for now, as I am in negotiations on another trailer so this is close to heart as I will be living full-time in same for an extended future and expect to have a thread or two at some point). Besides,
KamperBob might show up and kick over my assumptions with the headstart he has on me in experience and long consideration.
Orbywan, you've doubtless got the single
cool motorhome I am aware of as the FE changes are real, the quality of the work appears high, and the benefits
reduce every category of time/mile expense by reducing the fuel burn of the main powerplant. Most moho's are just a way of doubling and tripling the cost of the exact same space and capacity of other RV combinations. Your well-chosen, used,
altered Class C is breaking ground in what,
for groups, could be a sensible choice (where a separate vehicle is deleted in favor of bikes, motorcycles, etc).
As I wrote above, when a suitably altered moho arrives, it can -- as with disaster scene vehicles -- provide energy and other inputs to basic shelters or tents for a fairly large group of people. The RV catalogs have all kinds of "extend-a-range" propane appliances driven off of a main tank on an RV at quite a distance. It can also pull a trailer with still more energy/food/water containers. This may not be on your list, but your inquiries bring up new thoughts in others.
Why I so much enjoy the Orby-C story.
I'm genuinely looking forward to see how you tackle solar at some point, if that is on the list of considerations.
