Hey All;

I have a Niece that her, her husband, and her family left
Alafreakinbama a couple of days ago in their BIG 45ft diesel SOB and
headed out here to WA. They were going to meander for a couple of
weeks before getting here. Right after they left, the dash AC went
out. They made it as far as SD. They looked along the way for an AC or
RV place that could/would fix their dash AC. He (the husband) would
only run the generator for two hours to run the two overhead AC units,
then he would shut it down. He found a place that would look at the AC
to see if they could fix it. While there, the the RV guy told him that
it was hard on the generator to run the 2 overhead AC units while
driving down the road. Now, I always run the Onan and the 2 AC units
when it gets hot out, cause I drive up front and the wife sleeps in
the back, so to keep the coach cool, the dash AC, and the two roof ACs
run. Seems to work and have never had a problem (about 370 hours on
the Onan). So, what's everyone's opinions? I would like to pass on
some kind of informed consensus about this to him. Anyone??
