What an idea, building it the way YOU want and need it, great to see as it is the only way I'd do it.

Sandra Westley from the UK that is what our Dealership does, we are just waiting for our PDI to be done, we are just having extra plugs and some wine bottle slots taken out, which we think are a waste of space, and having shelves put in place instead. Hopefully delivery this week, 16 th June, 2021.

@SuiteTravels 3 жыл бұрын

LOL....yes Gary. The hitch pin needs to be adjusted for our truck. We ran a survey when we first ordered the rig regarding the residential oven and it was pretty evenly split. It's just that we've never used an oven more than a few times in the 30+ years we've been RVing. God made us all different and it makes for a wonderful life! Have a great week.

The modifications would be warranted from the dealer and everything else through the factory. The dealer has a 16 page Pre Delivery Inspection (PDI) list that they go through before the customer takes possession. It's pretty involved and takes them 4 or 5 days to complete.

Great job on the solar layout! Are you planning on being totally inverted with the generator and shorepower as your back up (i believe Jonesn2travel are set up this way)? I am trying to plan what i am going to do to our 2021 GD 2970RL bumper pull and totally inverting is one of my desires but i think the bank of batteries will be too large to sustain a reasonable run time. I see benefits where you can trickle back in with a smaller generator or 15 amp outlet!

@SuiteTravels 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Marc. No, we don't plan to be fully inverted. We're going to install 800 ah of lithium and that really isn't enough to run the large loads such as A/C, elec water heater, etc for any length of time. We've done just fine with 600 ah in our current rig but now that we've added a residential fridge we added another 2 batteries. It seems to work fine for what we do.
