If you plan on using this in the winter in Colorado expand your budget or buy a little older but Hydro Hot equiped.
We've spent more than just a couple of Winters in Our Coach in Golden, -17 for 10 nights straight - \"No Problem\"
If you purchase wrong - good chance you'll have Buyer Remorse.

I don't understand why people are so averse to running their generators. I put 26 gallons of fuel into my rig every 2 weeks and run a 10K generator for 9 hours a day. That is just over a quarter gallon per hour. To stay comfortably cool or warm and have every electrical and electronic device a choose at my disposal. Been doing it for over five years now. Change the oil and filters three times a year. They are designed and built to run and run and run yet many people never turn them on. I just don't get it.
