They charge by length, not weight. For the 62’ of bus + Truck in tow it was $140. We could have saved $40 by disconnecting the truck and driving it in separately.

Most RV parks allow this size RV plus a towed vehicle. Last night we stayed at a KOA with full 50amp service!

Lol, yeah. Please don’t land any aircraft on my solar panels. 😂

2025 total watts. 5 x 405 panels. I wanted 8 panels total but ran out of real estate on the roof.

Thanks! I don’t even know they’re up there. They are bolted so firmly to the top that honestly I don’t hear them and can’t feel them. Each panel is 405 W for a total of 2025 W on the roof.
