Hi y'all,

Gabriel here. We are actually full timers in a 2007 Challenger 34BHQ. basically a 3 bedroom 5th wheel, perfect for us and the kids. Have been doing a lot of learning especially with the electrical. The first week in 100 degree weather we learned why it is necessary to have a surge protector system. Wired in an electric management system and installed a new inverter. Enjoying every minute of the life now.

Hope your trailer has 2 a/c units! Been nasty the past month down here in the Hill Country. Looked at pics of a similar trailer to what you have and you can sleep a whole passel of young'uns but have to share the bathroom it appears. How does that work for you? I have a smaller 5ver and purposely took out the fold out bed so no grandkids would/could come camping with us bwhahahaha Welcome!

Just a tip... your a/c units will be on 20A breakers I think; move them to another 20A breaker if one is next to the main... lot of heat and it will pop as a result or both main and adjacent 20A a/c will pop. Put them next to stuff that isn't drawing a lot and producing a lot of heat.
