We love the residential refer!! your report makes one sound like a PITA. my 4 door standard one with ice maker was plenty large and worked great. bumpy Maybe, Uncle Bump, but instead of just sugar coating things, I find it better to tell just my findings. A bunch of things can be a PITA when Boondocking, but that's what makes it fun for me!730Views0likes0CommentsRe: Info on a Tiffin Allegro Breeze
Our '16 Tif 36la has a Res refer, with a 2000 w inverter and 4x 6 v batteries. When we get to a spot, and the batteries are charged, I usually don't need to run the Genny until the next day, and then about 3 hours to recharge. But that is based on other demands which we might have on electric. Of course, if the fans are running, the water pump , lights, or tv. Then more. We got in the habit of not opening the refer door much at night, and have a small cooler for beers or soda. Also, if equipped, turn the ice maker off! Good luck!165Views0likes0CommentsRe: Opinion on fridge option

I do not carry gasoline, but on long trips, I have 2 X 5 gallon, empty gas cans, in the toad. With the big Allegro Gasser, occasionally there are some gas pumps that are difficult to get close to, so I have added a bit just to supplement my tank. That extra 10 gallons can get me 70-80 extra miles.180Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tow dolly questions
I have an American Car Dolly. It is steel, sturdy, an articulating front tire platform, fenders, lights and electric brakes. Delivered to my home for under $2000. New! I find it easy to use and move around. Aluminum is lighter, but Does it hold up? Good luck452Views0likes0Comments
