    Usually pretty easy if you are plugged in all the time. If you are not plugged in you will then need an inverter which runs off your batteries. If you are driving from campground hookups to CG hookups your tow vehicle should carry it. If you want to boondock we are now getting into a much longer conversation along with upgraded charging equipment if running on a generator or how much solar is needed. The basics required for a resi are proper clearances for ventilation. I use this rear coil model with the proper clearance with no problems so far.

    Dometic? What model? Should be on the inside door area.
    What happens on electric when connected to shore power?
    Does it cool at all when running on gas?
