Quicksilver has a Manchester 83 gallon motor fuel tank to port. And there is zeeee-roh fuel delivery either by 45 Kg and 10 Kg or bulk truck fills. Never has been and never expect there will be 64 miles round trip to the nearest Z-Gas plant.
I refuse to cook inside. The heat increase and humidity from the food and the flame is intolerable. Brenda uses a large fan in her house, but not when there is a solid curtain of rain - horizontal rain and no power.
Then some hurricanes leave 80F temps but condensing humidity. Clammy. Move the air you sweat and your skin freezes, heat turns things into a sauna. I have a custom made 10' hammock for the patio. Close weave cotton and a mile of cheesecloth for protection from the insects. A pabellon tent of insect screening. Hammocks are no steenky bueno for folks with disc problems.
Quicksilver will end up as an appendage on a house serving as a luxurious suite bedroom while I feed a tree. I built that bus to travel and now that I am on shaky ground in my 70's and gasoline and diesel is north of four dollars a gallon, those dreams have done a will o the wisp. When I rob all the spare extension cords and run power to the bus I can use the 5K Goldstar window A/C in the bedroom. If I should cook in the galley the 5K Goldstar in there doesn't have a prayer.
I love it. No matter how uncomfortable it may get, being swarmed with four loving granddaughters more than makes up for it. Tomorrow I hunt down that "Skillet" Charola Electrico.
