Fairly accurate, however, we have to disagree on your evaluation of the induction cooktop. We love ours...it is quicker to boil water and cook foods and since the heat is directly into the pot without heating the air under the pot (why it cooks faster), the coach stays much cooler. We have one in our sticks and bricks, too, and wouldn't trade either one for propane, gas or radiant coil burner units.
The biggest surprise we got was the first time we went to fire up our grill...had to wait until I converted it back to using propane tanks; no house propane to tie into.
We have the "True Induction" brand which only draws 1,800 watts total between the two burners (so they claim). We even had them replace our unit because it wouldn't heat properly the first time. I can't believe Newmar puts this unit in their coaches.
I went out and bought a stand alone "Max Burton" 1,800 watt unit and set it right on top of the cold cooktop. That seems to help but my wife complains bitterly about the lack of heat from the "True Induction."
