The late Royale upfits (77 - 78) had the best of most worlds. Lightweight
power cord that stores easily, propane powered hot water heater with engine
coolant heat exchanger, 6000 watt generator, 30 amp breakers, usually only
a single roof A.C. a toggle type circuit breaker that cannot be switched
wrong. Because I converted my gaucho bunks to a crossways queen bed, I
installed a 50 amp automatic transfer switch that eliminates the toggle
breaker. When you start the generator, it automatically switches after a 30
second delay to allow the Genet to warm up and stabilize voltage. Works for
me very well.
