While camping this summer we had to leave the air conditioner on for the dogs while we were gone. The first time, we ran the generator so we could run the air conditioner. The second time we just ran the RV Air conditioner connected with the engine, and locked the door with our spare key.(The dogs seamed to like sitting on the front seats.) Both worked well, but this got us thinking, why do we need the generator? I have not tried it yet, but can we run the microwave oven while running the van engine, or could we run the microwave on a battery with the inverter?
Needs a little more study. Our RV is a 2002 Roadtrek 190 V.
