How is the field parking at Perry, are folks getting stuck. I know it can be bad when there is lots of rain.

They stopped bringing them in yesterday afternoon for certain areas and parked many on the side roads...I as well am on asphalt until the ground firms up a bit.

Spoke to Heather at Entegra. She said other than Aspire 39, there are not any 2015 models on display at Perry.

I suspect they are waiting for 2014 dealer stock to go down.

we mover off the asphalt and onto the grass this morning . Fields are firm at this point
with almost all of the excess water run off . A heavy downpour for about 5 minutes just before the show coaches opened for display caused some puddles . As Tiffin was near the entrance their units took a beating from wet foot traffic . I may have to rethink my desire for that nice shiny polished floor tile .. Very slippery when wet ..
Raining very heavy at this moment ( 10 pm ) and may have to look for the ark or at least a row boat in the AM..

Corey, How long are you able to go between charges with the residential refrig on the Anthem?

I ask because my last MH had an LP refrig and it would still not make it 12 hours and that was being very conservative. I had to charge 2 times a day, morning and night, with T-105 batteries. Curious if I will gain with the 8 AGM batteries or stay the same?

Chuck, I go though the night easily using 2 TV's and two DVR's for a few hours and refer & aquahot all night. If you run your generator for 1-2 hours in the morning and 2-3 hours before bed your batteries will be fine. The refrigerator is actually quite efficient and uses less power than all the other stuff that we use. The only thing I don't run off inverter is the dishwasher or microwave as they use a lot of power so I put the gen on for them. And of course the stove and AC's do not run off inverter.

That was my experience at Goosenecks in much cooler than Georgia. If just TVs and frog, a couple of generator hours a day did it. The electric blowers for AH heating tend to use a little more when it is cold. And of course, we turned the generator on when using the stove top, coffee maker, toaster, and oven.

Thanks Cory, sounds like it is about the same. Nice to have auto start where I don't even have to worry about it now. I am also having the auto start wired to where if we loose shore power the auto start will kick in, the 2015's are wired that way, but not the 2014 and I thought they were.

Isn't the Auto Start function within the Commander 30? If the coach batteries drop below a certain amperage generator automatically starts up correct?

This would be for air conditioning if shore power was lost and there is a pet inside. If the batteries are up when shore power is lost the auto start would not kick on for the 50 AMPs needed to run the A/C units without it being re-wired. At least that is the way it was explained when we picked the coach up and I am being charged extra to get that feature.
