Well, we made the plunge into the FWC world. Picked up our used 2000 grandby on our last days off. Thanks to everyone who answered all of my previous questions. It made all the difference in making our decision. The camper was very well taken care of by the previous owner and we couldn't be more excited to have a new toy. Now I have a place to go when she sends me to the doghouse.
My question now is concerning the shore power. I had no battery for the camper when I picked it up but was hoping to plug in for the cold night on the way home. This idea didn't work so well. The furnace wouldn't run without a battery plugged in. I have since installed a house battery with solar controler to assist in charging. Everything in the camper seems to work great through the 12v power of the battery. Question, Is the 110v shore power only providing power to the 110v outlets in the camper, or, is it now providing power to verything (lights,furnace,ect) but just needed to be connected to a battery to complete the circut.
The big shake-down trip starts in 9 days. 3 1/2 weeks in the Utah desert. Thanks for all your help gentlemen.
