LOL. Its nothing special - this is one of the possible full-timing scenario. I've been looking at Class A/Grand Cherokee as one, Ram 3500 Dually/New Horizon 40ft as the other, and the third case is a B+ towing a custom trailer with a special mission - lots of electrical power, water capacity and some living room but no kitchen/bathroom etc. I'm calling it 'mobile station'. :)
I need them because although we plan to full-time, I'm not retired so I still need the stuff I would need at home, and not just for few hours but 7-8 hours minimum per day. This includes a large screen TV which is useful not just for watching sports but also for my work. :) But at the same time, my wife LOVES national park settings which tends to be small so my 40ft A-Class or New Horizon are not very friendly on those sites. My idea is to get a 25ft B+ van to pull a 20ft trailer that fits in a typical camping site that has no hookups. I realize I won't be able to fit into every tent sites but I'm pretty sure many will.
Currently, I'm trying to see if it is feasible to build a short trailer that contains:
- 200g fresh water tank
- 130g grey water tank
- 100g black water tank
- 8 batteries
- 9 solar panels
- a residential fridge
- a 55-inch TV
- a generator
- some cabinets
- and a nice sofa in front of the TV, along with two small tables that myself and my wife can do some work on.
Basically, this trailer will also act as a mobile dumping station which in turn, will be dumped once every two weeks.
I've used the Battery sizing sheet and it says I need 373.3Ah.
Nothing is certain yet though, still debating which is the best way to go. :)
