Yep, during the TX "big freeze" in Feb, we and the three cats moved to the Hurricane for 4 days while the entire west side of Bexar County was without power. Even though the Village has three critical care facilities that have supplemental power; those of us in Independent Living had no power. Even the fire sprinkler systems pipes froze in the towers (50 hours below freezing with a low of +9 F). The Hurricane's generator ran for 83 hours straight using just 59.9 gallons. We used 1/2 half tank of propane. Fortunately, the water supply is the Village's and has it own power source (a 30 KVA diesel generator), so we had running water and it is only a couple hundred feet over to the RV dump station and wash-rack. The surprise of the ordeal was the N641 Norcold RV frig worked perfectly during the entire time and we were able to save all of the food in the house's freezer and fridge.
