The market down here is well known as others have mentioned. It would help if there were warnings or if these units were just not distributed to this area (special order only). I don't think I see any trucks on the lot with the snow plow option in Phoenix LOL !!! There were several units on the lot and at other dealerships with this so not like I bought the only random one with electric fridge. As others have mentioned too there are several features that would not be included on these if really meant for just campgrounds.
allcool - thanks for the detailed info. I will be checking into a lot of that ...
Autostart - not sure an option for me as mine has the generator integrated into the "In Command" control system that controls just about everything in the rig. Might still work but would need to look into. Also not sure I want the 5500 firing up in middle of night under our bed as otherwise it doesn't serve me much good as that is when needed most. I can start the generator from my phone so I could just set the alarm each night for 3AM and start it up without getting out of the covers LOL! But still an option to consider for cloudy days and so don't drain the battery down too low to help save them in general ...
Will likely just need to have some welding done to have my battery compartment changed up for two more batteries (the compartment will have to hang down a bit and come into my basement storage area a little) and look into a bigger charging system for this. Honestly, all Keystone really had to do was give me the room for a big bank of batteries (four L16's as mentioned would be ideal) and it would be just a nuisance rather than a real issue for me personally.
