The thread is about how easy it would be to save energy, save the environment using tangible proven affordable techniques and have a more enjoyable RV experience.
There is endless discussion about how to use energy (generators) to stay cool -- and a void when it comes to decreasing the need for burning fuel translated to either environmental warming reduction or saving money. If Money Is No Object to they way you RV then it may put you at odds with the other side of the coin.
The cladding of a refrigerator with inch-thick RECYCLABLE vacuum panels WILL and not "perhaps or maybe" save more than 60% energy costs, In the case of long distance travel to refuel propane the sixty percent is absurdly low.
RV's are mostly box not round. I went aboard a catamaran whose owner made an ice box of vacuum panels. The box was about two and a half feet by three feet. It was shaded. In tropical heat it held ice for two weeks.
I had hopes that the thread would provoke discussion about investing technology where it would do the most good. Spark interest without billboard grade obvious intention. But I failed to do so. A troll? Damned right it was -- separate the wheat from the chaff. It performed splendidly.
Time for me to go to work and be productive. Adios.
