Appreciate all the replies. Will definitely pay close attention to the maintenance needs. Have my first trip lined up this Monday, it will be a week long stay down in Kenai fishing for salmon and trout so I am very excited.
Did my first "mod" today. Seller had a single GRP29 battery in there, I removed that and added two GRP27 batteries, gaining almost a 100 additional amp hours which will help a bit in dry camping. Also noticed the exterior storage is nowhere near as ample as my 5th wheel so I was thinking about my gas can for the generator. Used to have a really nice (but big) metal 6 gallon can I carried with me. I bought a few smaller 1.25 gallon mini gas cans that fit perfect in the storage compartments.
Still need to do the 12V outlet. Just got my TV today, it is a 22" 120hz 1080p TV, good picture quality and it has memory card and usb slots with a built in DVD player so decent functionality. That is about the biggest TV I can fit in the compartment, have to angle it in diagonal but once you pull the TV tray out you can orient it any way you choose. Anyway, when you are sitting in that bed and the 22" is right in front of your face, it looks like a big screen :) Works fine in the dinette 12V plugin and it also works fine in my Black & Decker jump start powerpack gizmo. Will see how long I can play it off that thing, will have to make do until I can get another 12V outlet put in the TV cabinet.
