Not wanting to be the floater in the punch bowl....but $52K ! Not even fully kitted I would assume....then 3/4 trucks only?....then add a large air conditioner to roof; displace any chance of an second solar panel, add a lot of weight on top of roof and worst of all, I could not get it inside my shop with the normal door height [my '16 Hawk / '05 Tundra gives me 3/4 " clearance through the shop door]...the internal framed lifting system looks like a Rube Goldberg erector set; and sleeping next to it is a non-starter for the inside person...even standalone roof assist system adds yet more weight to roof...outside side lifting units nicely visible in window when up and look just "add on"....good grief. Also guess forward roof vent is lost to AC.
Vic's calculations.....power draw is enormous with AC....even with Li...I do love BB 100 ah in our Hawk, but with two solar panels on top....second solar panel a lot less weight than an AC! Add DC/DC and no lack of power for our setup. Guess AC mostly for folks in RV parks with 110v; off grid you would need a second roof solar panel, or so it would seem.
Stove is bigger surface? Really, doubt that... and our space heater works just great as does our water heater [full up to temp water heater dumped into main tank helps if near line freezing temps]....so no, I see more marketing and less functional add on's.
Good point? Victron devices = #1. FWC finally got that message...
Second Good Point? Perhaps new AC unit will help with oil canning...
Oh, but that problem does not exist...right?
Hey, you can put lip stick on a pig but it is still...............................
Sorry FWC but greatly disappointed with these changes [except Victron]; notwithstanding that soon only the wealthy will buy FWCs.
