Range sounds cool.
I'd re think the fridge thing though. There's a reason that RVs are predominately 3 way. And LP is hands down the source that requires the least care or concern. Why limit yourself? You're already doing the coupe de gras of truck/popup combo.
It's a weird thing to intentionally not have, especially for the type of RV it is.
Thanks, as alway, for your thoughts Grit Dog. :-)
Having owned 2 RVs with Absorption fridges in the past, and realizing that we want to go further off road, and never want to worry about having the rig parked anywhere near level, and having made the decision to go substantial lithium and substantial solar (for a variety of reasons) then going compression fridge then made more sense for us. After discussions with Hallmark they agreed that compression fridge is a better fit for us.
It is nice to have the choice tho.
For anyone who is reading this - there are clearly advantages and disadvantages to both kinds of fridges. Here is a link that covers these differences.
It is nice to have a choice in fridge, with Hallmark custom building our pop up camper. :-)
