Though I have not taken a trip yet (other than driving around town test fitting things, and driving back from NJ) I'm estimating that I can go at least 3 weeks without ever having to move under any weather conditions. IE, enough electricity, water, and heat. Put about $1,000 worth of various camping food in it, and carry about 20 gallons of drinking water separate from coach water. I'll post more pics tomorrow. I still have to install the additional 30 gallon drums.
My biggest problem right now is how to get the hitch I've created off the coach with the drum full of water, and wheel it out of the way for ramp access. The only idea I have so far is wheeled boat trailer front winding jack that rotates 90 degrees. Maybe putting four of them on the corners and lowering them, getting it off the hitch, and rolling it out of the way???
