In discussion with the owner, we were told that since it will be hot, we will probably want to run the roof AC while driving, and to do that we would need to run the generator. Of course, that would mean many hours charged for excess generator use.
Is the owner correct? Does running the roof AC while driving require running the generator? Is this just on the Vegas, or across all Class A motorhomes?
Look forward to all your helpful comments.
Thanks,

We have a 2018 27.7 Vegas. We live in SW FL. If the unit is cool when you leave out. You will not need the house A/C. We also have a 4 year old Boxer. He sleeps on the sofa without any issues. When we are going to stop. We turn on the gen., crank the A/C, so the dash A/C does not have to over come the heat gain. When we head out again we shut the gen. off.
When you are getting ready to stop for the day. You might crank the A/C say 30min. before stopping so that you want be hot while setting the inside up for your stay. This might help the wife be happy.
If you decide that you want to purchase a 27.7 you might want to talk with me. I can help you understand the things you might run into.

Oh, the idea of hanging curtains behind the seat might be good. Now for a quick lesson on the electric bunk and slide. If you lower the bunk just a little the hang the curtain and then back up you will get the system out of timing and the bunk will not operate correctly.
If you open or close the slides only part way and stop you will do the same thing. You could get the slide our of timing so that it not open or close completely. One simple thing is also operate the bunk and/or slides to a complete cycle of open or close, hold button until you do not hear any more sounds. This will tell the computer the full cycle and the bunk or slides will operate to a full open or closed position. If not you will find I am telling you the truth. Been there done that.
