I know...trying to explain myself 6 months ago to some was like pulling teeth. Then again I live aboard and they didn't so trying to relate a 2-3 week annual cruise with a propane stove aboard and they had all the answers.

Even if you tried to explain to them...run your house on one or two 30 amp cords and see how many times you'll be chasing breakers was lost on them.

Again..I live days or weeks at anchor on 12volts if I have to...but when that's over...it's nice to have the conveniences probably most of us have gotten used to.

Except there is this one guy in Alaska....hmmmm....maybe he is used to it.
