This is off-topic again, and has been discussed already, but a lot of it comes down to how/where you camp. The vast majority of campgrounds we frequent do not have dumping stations. So I would have...

I don't, but can you unscrew it and look at its belly? I bet it has a label somewhere. Rare to see Black Boxes.

I have seen signs prohibiting outdoor showering (of course, can't remember where... Yosemite?).

One way to find out is to ask. I think it also depends on your definition of "shower". I wet my...

Not sure about the dash, but seems pretty normal to drain over several weeks if it isn't re-charged somehow.

Have you considered plugging it in sometimes? Or add a solar panel/SCC to keep the...

Depends if your premium manages to creep up every year, and you aren't completely satisfied with your carrier, and you have time for it and there are better alternatives... then sure! :)

Not sure about your particular circumstances, but I pay a little under $500 for a year with Progressive, which seems very reasonable for an $85k vehicle. That's in California.

If you only get 60-70W from 300W of solar panels that are not shaded even by a bit, then something is not right.

Just got a recall from Thor for fracturing solar panel mounts (flimsy angles).

Pretty cool layout. Being able to sleep six is impressive, even though some of them may need to be of shorter/slimmer stature. The "mattress" in the front area looks super thin though. Of course, one...

Why does the SCC need to be disconnected from the batteries? Does it draw significant current when the panels are disconnected?
