Or, the thermostat as the previous post suggested. Got to be one of the other ... Let us know how you make out!Re: High DC useA fridge running on propane should use very little electricity. I expect that you have an electrical leak somewhere.Re: No GeneratorIf, by 'residential', you mean a refrigerator which runs on AC only, you are headed for trouble. I doubt that any 'residential' refrigerator would have a battery option, but, in any event, forget about running any refrigerator off the batteries (whether the unit is being towed, or is stationary). You won't be happy. The refrigerator MUST have a propane option, and it will run off the propane automatically whenever the RV is not plugged into AC. I expect your Class A option would operate In the same manner.Re: RV WholesellersI bought a WILDCAT 29RLBS from RV WHOLESALERS in Ohio, in 2007 and never regretted my decision. My local dealer could not come close to matching the price for the identical unit, and I gave him every opportunity. The warranty/service was never an issue, remember you are not buying an engine or transmission which would be high exposure items.Re: Backing in a 5th wheelExcellent advice from Halmfamily! The radios may not help initially, especially if you are both inexperienced. She will not really know how to advise you at the wheel until she is quite familiar with the maneuvering characteristics of the rig.Re: 3.73 vs. 4.30 AXLE RATIOGet the F350 Diesel ... Given your future plans, you will never regret the few extra dollars. Better still, buy a Cummins Diesel (which will have a RAM truck wrapped around it!).Re: Temperature inside rvMost of the electronic temperature monitors available will have a remote transmitter, so you can get a temperature reading on the monitor of both inside and outside temperatures. Look for one with a MAX/MIN feature, which will also tell you the coldest and warmest temperature measured since the last time you reset the feature.
