Re: Camping and Traveling the Oregon Trail
Yeah I know, it seems like a lot of $$$, but when compared to the overall costs associated with a 4 - 6 week, 10K mile vacation, it doesn't seem like so much. For me it is all in the budgeting.

Re: removing refrigerator
The "viewing of the flame" in the Norcold is one of the best examples of "YMMV" in the EV Camper world. The clever folks at Winnebogus really "engineered" this one. On some campers (Bruce's '97 EVC,

10,000 miles divided by 20mpg = 500 gal of fuel; $4.00 x 500 gal = $2000. Dang!
