this is a new video of the 59k. much more thorough then the first one
Not too bad. I like the rear bathroom which is quite functional. I wonder about the fridge on battery or hydro only and no gas. One battery would get drained fast when fridge is running unless there is a second battery/generator. Charging by engine alternator is ok on the road but not when dry camping which would be a problem. A solar panel would help. Am I missing something.
the 59k has a novakool compressor fridge. it only draws about 4 dc amps as opposed to the 12 volt burner on a 3 way which will use up a battery in a couple of hours.
That would explain it. Do those compressor fridges make as much noise cycling as did the old-time ones in RVs? I am a light sleeper. Also, I think ALL new RVs should have two AGM batteries, at least. I find ours at 90amps to be marginal.
