Why do class A's run engine when leaving RV Park at site?
I wondered why most class A's run their engine for 20 minutes+ when leaving their site and are hooked up or could remain hooked up to electric?

About 90% of all class "A" have air brake systems that have to be filled by the air compressor on the motor first off, then like mine the motor HAS to be running before I can activate the coach leveling system to both level and retract the hydraulic levelers. Also running the slides in requires a good amount of power so once again the motor needs to be running for this too. Believe me most of use do not like to run our motors at an idle any more then we absolutely must due to the exhaust regeneration system used to capture the exhaust soot.

Right you are!
IMO, 90% of the 90% with air brake and air suspension systems don't know that some diesel coaches have neither air brakes or air suspension.
BTW, I would guess that 3-5% of all RVers have no idea what we are talking about. :-)
