And I thought I was bad traveling 715 miles to pick up my Caribou 10 days ago. Now I can say I'm not crazy. Welcome to TC'n.
I have the 2.5 Onan propane and can sit in the dinete while it is running could hold a normal conversation. I was surprised how quite it was.
I was told it would go thru a 20# bottle of propane in 7 hours of AC use. Don't know as I just picked it up 10 days ago.
Your Ponderosa Looks like a beautiful camper. I'm not sure any TC bathroom is big enough. A wet bath seems to offer a little more room to move. My old 94 was a wet bath but new tc is a dry bath. The good news is I don't spend much time in it.
I use 4000 lbs as my loaded ready to roll weight. 1/4 tank of fresh water, 2 30# bottles of propane. Food, clothes and Misc gear. Seems to add up fast.
If you think you may want to tow something in the future start looking for a torklift super truss on craigslist. They can be had for around $5 to $600 and can't be beat. I have a 48" extension and it works great.
