There are definitely benefits to living in an RV full time. 29 hours now since the storm took our electricity away and I'm sitting here drinking a cup of hot coffee watching last night's news on the TV. My built in generator is worth every penny. I have 15 gallons of non-ethanol gas waiting to be used when need in addition to what is the onboard tank. I'm not running the generator all day, just a few hours in the morning and evening.
The power company told us yesterday it could be 4 days before power is restored since they had a full 1/3 of their customers without power. There was a lot of cleanup going on around here yesterday, cutting trees off of roads, etc. but zero power line maintenance. We have to wait out turn and we are just a little place.

I posted on our 5 day hunting trip , I setup our satellite dish, my wife had the coffee going every morning , I took 12 gallons of gas with us , I brought back about 3 gals. She doesn't hunt, so she was at the fifth wheel all day, had the Honda 2000 going, it ran the TV ,the coffee maker, the furnace , the microwave when needed. The only thing I would like on that Honda 2000 is a remote start. Not so much in the morning, I would start the generator before I left to hunt, but in the evening after hunting we would watch a movie or the news ,whatever , and it would be nice to shut it off with a remote . But to take a couple minutes to walk outside to shut it off was certainly not earth ending :)
