Thanks, Rick -- that's exactly the kind of feedback that's worth gold to those of us who are "still looking."

I'm particularly interested in a few of the points you made. We plan to boondock a fair bit, too, and electricity seems to be the major limitation. I am leery of carrying a generator given that we are trying to keep the load light, but the alternative (extra battery) isn't any lighter. My understanding is that without power, several major functions of the Bambi cease: water pressure, refrigeration (even with propane, because of the circuit board), lights, water heating (again, the circuit board), and furnace. Does no power mean no flushing toilet?

Good news also that the insulation holds up against a sub-freezing night. I'll have to check other threads to see if there have been postings about people's experience in freezing weather, since we expect to hit those temps fairly often in our area. If the tanks can survive a 20 degree night without freezing (assuming the furnace is running), that's a huge plus for us. In the north country it means the difference between a four month season and a seven month season.

Also, anyone care to share a "newer" Bambi experience with their small child?

Thanks again,

-- Rich
