Yes, it fits in the driveway...

 

Just.  Not where we're planning on keeping it, but for a few days, we want it close while we get things set up in the new Roadtrek Chase 50 and spend some time working with all the systems in it...


 The goal for the morning was to spend some time learning the infotainment screens and get it set up for Apple Car Play on our phones.

I shot some video as a "walk around and walk through"...

Then, we took the van out to run errands - 4 stops for groceries, prescriptions, PetSmart (for Murphy's gastronomical enjoyment), then off to the east for lunch at Oregano's.  One more grocery stop, where we got some ice cream and other refrigerated items and put them in the fridge and freezer for the half hour ride home (yes, that worked great!)  It was good to put the Car Play to practical use and get a feel for how the Roadtrek does in traffic and parking lots (just fine).

We left the coach air conditioning running while we shopped and had lunch - I wanted to see how it would do on a hot day and how the batteries would handle that load... happy to report two thumbs up for this lithium battery system along with the 3000 watt inverter and the Truma air conditioner.  That will be great when we are traveling with Murphy and we want to make a stop... the boy will stay cool and comfortable, and no generator running. 

A good full first day with it.
