Question & Answer Answered On
Q: Hi: I forgot to ask: Is the box insulated? Is there a heater for the box? How big is the shower / toilet holding tank? How big is the sink holding tank? How big is the fresh water tank? Thank you, Tom Jun-30-09
A: Yes the Box is insulated. The Fresh Water holding tank is 140 gallons (under the bottom bunk). There is a propane heater, though I've never used it. I'm not certain of the holding tanks sizes both the black (smaller) and the Grey have holding tanks tho. The propane bottle under the truck is 14 gallons.
Q: Hi: Nice rig! I'm thinking it's going to be great for gold mining - living temporarily on claim. Is there an air conditioner for the camper portion? How many 110 volt outlets? What kind of drivers' license is required? Thank you, Tom Jun-28-09
A: Hi Tom, It takes just your normal driver's license. I have an airconditioner for it, but didn't include it in the sale. The Airconditioner is still new in the box. I'll have to check how many outlets.
Q: Looks like you did a lot of work; but there's now way to secure the truck cab doors? Thx Jun-28-09
A: there are kits out there to add if that is something that concerns you.
