... Running 3 airs, you should think about the 10k to 12k diesel. ...
Hi Chazwood,Your a funny guy! Well, your on the right path and thats good. Genset, LP, Heat Pumps, OTR Air & Heat, and you did leave out the inverter and batt bank....?? Why?What will you do while traveling to your destination and your kids want to watch TV, play video's, keep the beverages cold, and lighting? Thats one thing that you will most surely add later after expierencing the above.....Good LuckNick-
So that's what the inverter and battery bank is for. This may sound strange but even though I've been keeping my eyes peeled (and putting out far too subtle hints) I haven't been able to figure out what the inverter and battery bank is for, because, I just thought I would run all those things off the bus generator while I blasted down the road. Guess not huh? I mean, It had enough reading lights to rival Shea stadium, I just thought we would use all that power for my 72 inch plasma wide screen (24v?) TV.

TV.If you have OTR heat and air, I don't understand why you would run the generator and NOT use the power that's available from that big alternator on the engine (while driving). David

You have to remember one thing about RV airs, the amp ratings on the plate are determined at 80 deg. outside ambiant.
... I don't think I sacrificed any square footage, as the smaller capacity units seemed to have a similar footprint. The only downside is that its a little less efficient.
