| Frequently Asked Qestions |
| Explain how the water and holding tanks work ? The RV holds 41 gallons of fresh water and 35 gallons of gray water, waste from shower and sinks, and 30 gallons of black water, waste from toilet. The fresh water is pumped via an on-demand water pump that is DC powered and heated in a LP powered water heater. How long the tanks last varies greatly depending on how conservative you are. A family of 5, not conserving, can go through these tanks in a day. If you conserve a lot, you can get 3-4 days. When at a campsite or dump station, there are outlets for both holding tanks in a compartment on the drivers side rear. You just hook up a supplied 3" dia hose to a common outlet on the RV and the other end into the dumb station and then pull the black water first and then the gray water second. Doing them in that order washes out the black water "stuff". When at a campsite with dump, you can leave the gray water tank valve open but close the black water since it needs volume to empty. You do not have to empty the holding tanks when you return the RV. |

| Tell me about the Kitchen ? Making meals while on the road or at a campsite is one of the advantages of a motorhome. The RV has a full kitchen consisting of: - 3 burner gas stovetop. - Gas oven with broiler. Smaller then your home oven but very usable. - Microwave. This will run from battery via inverter, generator or shore power. - Double sink. - Drinking water purification system at sink. - Refrigerator with separate freezer. - Average complement of cooking utensils, plates, bowls, silverware and hot pads/dish rags. |

| Tell me about the Refrigerator ? The RV has a 6.3 cubic foot Norcold refrigerator that operates on LP or AC. The unit will run on AC unless it is not available and automatically switches to LP. It has separate refrigerator and freezer compartments and does a good job of keeping things cold. The refrigerator will be on when you pick up the RV and you don' t have to do anything else but use it ! Things to think about: 1) Your home refrigerator is somewhere between 18 and 22 cubic feet, so you have a lot less space but you also don't have 15 jars of unknown stuff :-) 2) While the refrigerator/freezer will keep things very cold, it does not do a good job of cooling things down, buy soda already cold for example. 3) When we go on trips and need extra space we sometimes bring one of those 12V powered coolers, there is room by the door or in the back hallway. If you have stuff that needs to be cold but do not need access while driving, you can keep coolers in the outside storage areas. |

| TVs....VCR....DVD....CD....Radio? Yes have them all, many are optional extras, but all are standard in this RV. - 13" TV in bedroom - 13" stereo TV in front that is on a swivel so it can be watched from the dinette/chair or from the over cab area. This is great for kids and the TV has a front input for your Nintendo. - A GoVideo DVD/VCR combo unit that can drive the front and/or the rear TV. - When parked, roof antenna or outside coax hookup for those camp sites that have cable. - In-dash AM/FM/CD that has speakers for the driver/passenger and speakers in the rear bedroom (adjustable). - Outside entertainment system: AM/FM/Cassette with two speakers, AC and DC power outlets and coax antenna connection...perfect for tailgating ! |
