It depends on the gauge of the extension cord.

If the gauge is thin, and/or the length is long, it can make a difference.

NO NO NO You don't need a back up to wake up... you don't want to imagine even the remote possibility of the black tank venting into your kitchen sink (or shower drain). It will be ugly.

Most of the lithium battery packs are about half the size of AGM batteries, for the same AH.

But of course they will be much lighter. And they can be drawn much deeper.

You can add an underhood generator yourself.

Look for shops specializing in utility vehicles, emergency vehicles, and police cars.


RT gets its GU from Nations. It is approx $1,500.

Agreed. 5k will not be in the cards.

The GCVWR is 11,500

It depends on how much you want to tow.

When the vehicle weighs 8000 lb, FWD or RWD is not going to make a big difference on 99% of the terrains.

It would be nice if one can use the Aircon fan for exhaust.
Of course the fan needs to connect to DC, not AC.
