We average just over 100 hundred hours a year and after 7 camping seasons we have 755 hours on our Onan. We love to boondock and also camp in extreme temps while off the power grid. When we need to run AC or a couple of space heaters we just hit the genny switch and immediately have all the power we need to run our entire rig making every trip comfy and cozy no matter what's happening outdoors.
Well put!! IMHO, that's how a self-contained RV should be used when drycamping ... especially considering what one has to pay for them.
Not using RV furnaces to stay toasty warm and RV air conditioners with generators to stay sweat-free ... to permit drycamping in a wide variety of expected or unexpected weather conditions ... has never made sense to me.
We often find ourselves camping in high heat (desert rock hounding), so our built-in generator gets used for great comfort. We even sometimes use both the RV A/C plus it's generator AND cab air for a quick cool-down of the coach.
