    How much would genuine A/C whenever you wanted it, improve your standard of living?

    Negligible. I get headaches when I'm in A/C too long. I don't think my body is used to it anymore. I got a mighty kool swamp cooler and in PA where humidity is moderately high, it still keeps me comfortable.

    Atmospheric water generators

    Something like this https://www.amazon.com/Atmospheric-Solutions-G2C-Aquaboy-Generator/dp/B00BW5GLJQ There's many different models. I haven't looked into it too much yet. I was hoping someone else might have used it for an RV application and could give me some insight.

    Atmospheric water generators

    I seen these things can pull water out of the surrounding air. Any nomads have experience with these?I thought it would be awesome if you could rig it to your fresh water tank and run a swamp cooler off it and well everything else. Unlimited free fresh water. Seems almost perfect

    Insulation question

    I would insulate first. If there is ever a problem you need to troubleshoot you will create more work having to remove the insulation to get to the wires.

    Anyway around window reflectix?

    I seen they also have a heater that runs off gasoline and hooks up yo your fuel tank. I'll have to see where I'm at when I actually purchase my next van. I'm in the brainstorming stage right now. I really like the efficiency of the propex and low power draw. Considering I'm using reflectix for...

    Just how dangerous is keeping a 20 lb propane tank in an RV for use with. Big Buddy?

    Also, when the fill your tanks they don't fill to maximum capacity. They fill them about 80% to leave room for expansion so it doesn't explode. I really wouldn't worry about it much and checking it multiple times a day is overkill. I make sure my connection is secure when I refill and hook it...

    Propane expansion?

    Thanks. What about replacing them with a larger tank? Some of these vans I'm looking at only have 10lb onboard. I need like 30lb. Or more if it's reasonable. 100lbs are too heavy.

    Propane expansion?

    I'm wondering if you can take off the onboard propane tanks on class b's  and replace them with larger  tanks or if there is a way to expand them maybe add on multiple ones. Anybody have experience with this?

    Anyway around window reflectix?

    I'm trying to find ideas on insulating my rig. I live in PA. Cold winters and hot summers. I just keep reflectix on my windows year round. I miss my windows and being able to look out and open them. Does any body have a better idea?
