buying another pusher.

thanks for the info. I know about the quite gensets. Had a Monaco signature and we boondocked a lot.
so I guess with the all-electric coaches there would be an auto start on the gen set if batteries get to low. Correct?

We have a residential refrigerator and we boondock quite often. Our unit has a 2KW inverter that runs all the outlets in the coach. The only thing that won't run are the ACs, hot electric part of the hot water heater (gas works) and the engine block heater. We are a family of 5 so our electric usage is high. The kids have devices and so do my wife and I
We only have 4 GC2 6v batteries. We can last a day. We added 540 watts of solar so now we are golden. Almost all modern DPs have inverter generators. My generator is very quiet. Also diesel generators only run at 1800 RPM. That means they are much quieter than the gasoline generators that run at 3600. Bottom line just because a coach has a residential refrigerator doesn't mean you can't boondock. Residential refrigerators are quite efficient vastly more efficient than the propane absorption refrigerators are.

We dog show and at many venues there is no power. We have a Samsung RR and can easily go all night without running the generator. Boondocking really isn't a problem.

That is a ridiculous statement. Why can't you boondock in that coach? It has everything needed to do so

How long can that battery pack withstand the average camper's drain on them?

except peace and quiet. I don't like listening to a 12.5 kW generator all day. And I'm sure my neighbors wouldn't either.

It is one that we are looking at. 2010 Monaco Dynasty 45 foot.

paulm, can you order it with a 2-way or is that not an option from the manufacturer? I think with the vast majority used in campgrounds that's why they are coming with residential fridge, as well as the ongoing issues with the 2-way fridge that are common. I believe you can overcome the power issue with a larger battery bank and solar.

Which make/model are you looking at?

A reasonable alternative is the new Dometic compressor fridge that runs on 120 VAC and 12 VDC. We got one into the store and hooked it up to a fully charge group 24 battery. It ran for 40 hours until it kicked out on low voltage (<11.7 I think is where it cuts out).

Sure, they still make them but many MH's are soley used at CG's with full hookups so resi fridges are becoming common. But there are still many (most?) that come with a 2 way fridge.
