I read the press release.

Is this good, bad, or a lie?

It's good if you park at a pedestal at a paid RV park. It's bad if you dry camp alot and charge your battery off of a Generator. Travel trailer companies seem to think us folks in small travel trailers seem to be willing to pay 35-$75 a night for one person to stay overnight in an RV park, which I find rather retardead, myself. I bought the TT to save some money, keeping me out of expensive overnight lodging. The RV parks are ?for the motor home and 5th wheel crowd hauling the wife or the whole family, where value is added for being less expensive than a suite or two rooms.

Hence the Travel Trailer crowd, as well as the boondockers and dry campers, have completely different battery needs and charging requirements and set ups from the RV park and pedestal crowd, which is who the TT builders build for.

The rare times I pay to go to the RV park, I feel an inferiority complex with my little 21 ft travel trailer compared to all the behemoths sucking off the 50 amp outlets with all their multiple push outs, like I don't belong there, I'm dragging down the property value or something.
