Am I to assume an E-Trek owner will run the diesel engine nearly 36 hours in order to generate enough electrical power to run the AC for nearly 36 hours?
I've had to run my Onan that long at one stretch in order to run my AC for that period of time. It gets hot and humid in Atlanta over Labor Day weekend.

Several companies are engineering Class B units that use state of the art equipment . Diesel engines with additional alternators / generators to recharge battery banks while driving , solar panels to recharge while driving or sitting still , hydronic heating of water and floors powered by diesel or electric , magnetic cooking surfaces that have no open flame or hot elements to injure children or pets , AGM battery banks that will last longer than your tires or other traditional components , dual pane insulated glass that deadens sound and adds privacy , and
electric refrigerators that will actually freeze ice cream and keep beer cold .
When you subtract the weight of the propane tank and other propane equipment and plumbing , you have an RV that is similar in weight , but better balanced front to rear and side to side . The exterior of the van is also free of the misc cutouts and fittings in the body panels for a stealthy and cleaner look .
Advanced RV will have a vehicle on display at the RV Super Show in Tampa January 16 2013 .
