Hi all,

I've never owned, operated or stayed in an RV but my girlfriend's mom just bought a 2014 Winnebago trend 23B and without any prior knowledge we are taking it to a campsite tomorrow night.

Can any provide any pointers , tips or advice?

Is the generator gas? It doesn't say in the owners manual. We won't be hooked up to electricity so I'm wondering if I can use the power in this thing?

Anything I should know ?

Thanks in advance

Find and read the manual!!!! Will answer many of your questions

Based on the photo it looks like you have an absorption fridge. Run it on gas if you do not have power. I do not know if it is a 2-way or 3-way. If it is a 3-way do not run it on 12V unless you are driving as it will deplete the battery in no time.

Can’t say what type of fuel the generator will run on. It might be gasoline or it might be propane and it is possible it is dual fuel. You need to lookup the model number and see. You will need to learn how to get it running in-order to charge the house batteries if they run low during your outing.

You also need to know the type of battery as that determines how much you can drain them before needing to recharge and avoid battery damage.
