Testimony:
- My wife and I have lived comfortably in this full-time for just over a year. It’s a beast.
- We have boondocked for a month straight, could go longer if you're a scrappy fella.
- Relax on the hottest of days thanks to the AC
- Get cozy on the coldest of days. We lived this entire past winter in Mammoth Lakes, lows of 0F and 280 total inches of snow this season.
- Full electric build, no propane.
- Can comfortably run AC around the clock. When running AC in the sun, solar input is greater than draw of AC.
- We have never ran out of battery. Can’t even seem to strain the system.
Feel free to ask any questions about the rig. We built it ourselves and can likely answer any of your questions.
