all electric

[keith mizell]

Hello Tommy,

I too am interested in making my coach all electric. No real safety
concerns just figure never will use the cooktop, never will use the
furnace.

It seems like I've seen the electric cooking units on some of the RV
supply manufacturer's web sites. I don't think most RV parts centers
(Camping World, etc) stock them due to lack of demand. If you should
find information on an electric furnace conversion I would appreciate
if you would pass it along to me.

Thanks,

Keith

Why stay with RV appliances? If you are going to go electric why not
look at some of the residential appliances? It is not written down
anywhere that you must use RV dedicated stuff. This goes for propane
fired appliances too. Darren

Good point, Darren! The next time my fridge goes ( I am on #3) I will
replace it with a small AC household unit. With a dc-ac converter I can
get by and since I don't dry camp much any more this would work for me.

Then the propane tank goes to tank heaven!

Be careful before you put in an inverter and run on A/C. It you draw over
1000 watts, you will find that your batteries will run down real quick. I
don't know how much they draw, but our coach batteries were not developed
to put out large amperage loads.
Just to keep you informed.
