Thanks everybody. I have stayed in it in my driveway both hooked to shore and not. I am not sure how long the water will last, but I don't plan on drinking it.. Just toilet flushing and hand washing. The trip will only be 4-5 days long so I am not too worried.
The fridge is not getting past 50, but I hear this is not uncommon and just needs to be filled with cold items to start with. I also installed a fan for the back of it. But I am also not overly concerned about that. I can just eat out (like you would in a car). Basically (for this trip), I am not looking for much more than what I get from a car, outside of a comfier trip and sleep.
I almost booked an RV site today (I got a call from one in the blackout area that they had a last minute opening), They wanted a 3 night minimum and as I am just getting in and getting out (due to work)... I may just sleep at a Walmart the night before and I have a reservation at the local fairground for "watching" the event, that includes parking.
So sleep in the Walmart Sunday night... Go to the fairground Monday early (Entry starts at 6am) and then just hang there all day.
Because I am trying to get there as fast as possible... I will drive all day and just pull over 8hrs to sleep... Figured why pay for a site when I will only be there to sleep. Not that the money is a problem... Just seems like a lot of work when I can just pull into a rest stop for the night and not get off the highway.
I drove from New Hampshire to California and back with my brother in a Mercury Cougar (took turns sleeping in the back seat)... So even an RV with no fridge will be a PALACE! :)
