If Truma could sell their propane fuel cells in the US, it would make life really nice for RV-ing, especially when combined with other products.
In theory, I could buy/rent a 100 gallon propane tank, attach it to the RV via an Extend-A-Stay system. The fuel cell would provide power to keep the batteries topped off. The hydronic system would keep the tanks and plumbing above freezing, and the furnace would keep the inside in the upper 30s. No power needed, just plug in the propane and walk off. This would be nice for keeping a rig ready to go at all times in the winter. However, if there was access to power, the system could run off of that, and if power gets interrupted, switch to LP gas.
This may not be workable in more northern climates, but here in Texas where the main worry is hard freezes at night, it would be a nice thing to have.
