1997 Coachman Catalina Newbie Electricity help!
Hi everyone, My fiancé and I just bought a 1997 Coachman Catalina M 285 QB and have no idea how to hook up appliances while boondocking. Hoping someone can give me some probably obvious pointers. We found the generator. Onan 4000 microlite which isn't an option to run in a driveway all day even after adding a muffler. Then we found the propane for our Rv but have no idea how much to turn the valve to start the flow, how long to wait to see if anything is running, etc. Then yesterday I was reading that you can use a house battery found in the RV to power some things while boondocking but have no idea where to find this, how to use, how long we can use propane and or the battery for any appliances? We did figure out how to get the water running but nothing about the furnace. We are absolutely clueless and will gladly take any help! WE ARE MAINLY CONCERNED WITH RUNNING FRIDGE AND AIR CONDITIONER. We seem to have central air, a wall unit in back and the main car ac if that helps. I can't seem to figure out who to call to ask these questions. Thanks for your time reading this!1.9KViews0likes4Comments
