There is a fuel system issue here that has been completely neglected here.

The APU/generator/genset fuel pickup is in the main tank and only reaches to the 1/4 mark (more or less).

So:
If you run out the main (rear) tank, making electricity is now not an option.
If the tanks are combined and you are below that 1/4 mark the same condition exists.

Yes, I am a little paranoid. I am old and paranoid.

You may not think this matters that much and if you are a blue roads driver that only stops in campgrounds, it might never be any problem. We don't use the coach that way. We go places that we wanted to go because doing it as a passcar roadtrip was impractical.
