Black88mx6 - How are you working your sleeping arrangements in the ERA? Does it include an inverter? Can you run the microwave off of the battery?
A few people so far have mentioned that with all of the equipment underneath winter travel & use should be limited. It would be a big loss for us, we use our van frequently even in the winter right now (a warm place to come back to after sledding for example).
Sleeping seems to be the most asked question. We use camping hammocks supported by the two front seats. Some pvc cut in half was used to support lines across the top of the seat anchored to the seat base. We can sleep one extra with sleeping mat for a total of five a it tight.
For winter remember the propane tank and other hanging items including generator that is not have any coating or rust proofing. Any side cutouts for appliances, all areas for rust on an expensive chassis. Not something to destroy in the winter other than limited use unless no salt is used in your area.
No inverter at this time, and unlikely to use microwave with only two agm batteries. Easy enough to use generator for microwave or ac if not plugged in has made this a non issue for us. We don't live full time in it.
