Desert Captain......You said..."My point remains that RV's that are designed from the get go to be as non AC dependent as possible (DC lights, fans and pumps), are not the optimum location for a residential unit".
This was the point I was politely trying to get across...your RV was not designed for a residential unit. It's not designed to use much of anything that runs on A/C. The discussion on the previous pages is geared for large RV's, primarily Diesel Pushers, that have the battery power and inverters to support a residential refrigerator.
Next time you go to an RV show, take a look at the Diesel Pushers. They're pretty much all electric now. The only propane item in my coach is a two burner stove. If I had ordered it from the factory, it would have been all electric.
