General RV (Motorhome) Questions
The idea of owning an RV (motorhome) and living on the road (or wherever you please) is definitely intriguing. I have a few questions... 1.) What is the most effective system for heating/cooling?...

1.) You can have electricity on the road though, can't you? How often would you have to recharge the battery, on average?
3.) What's "DC power"? Where do you fill up the water tank and how much does it usually cost? Where does drain water go?
6.) Are all motorhome's diesel fuel?
Overall, without food included, how much do you think it will cost monthly to live in a motorhome? My plan would be to not stay at campground's the vast majority of time. I would like to find a small piece of land so I can park the motorhome there and pay a small annual fee
1. Commercial campgrounds will have water and electric to supply rvs and also have a sewer hookup or a dump station. The RVs have holding tanks for the toilet, other waste water and for fresh water. Their size varies.
The coach battery will be recharged when driving and when connected to an electrical hookup.
3. DC power is the power supplied by the battery. It is 12v and supplies power for most things in the RV. The AC, microwave, refrig and furnace also require 120vac or propane.
6. Most motorhomes run on gasoline.
