I rented Michael's 2008 Four Winds Chateau Sport 28A over the winter break and took my kids skiing up at Steven's Pass.
Michael was GREAT to work with! His was the first RV I've rented that was truly set up specifically for boondocking. With solar panels, a large battery bank for the house batteries, spare lithium battery, an onboard generator, and the standard LP bottles, power was never a concern.
We went to Steven's pass ski area, RV parking lot and stayed there 2 1/2 days in weather that got down to 11 degrees one night and 21 degrees the second night, between the spare on board heater that Michael had provided and the smooth running furnace, myself, my wife, and my two small children (9 & 7) stayed toasty warm. Hot cocoa anyone? :)
I had a number of questions about the electronics and the solar power panel/invertor, all of which were answered quickly by Michael. The rig was spacious, even without slide outs. Honestly, in that cold weather, I specifically rented an RV without slide outs d/t concerns about mechanical issues in the cold.
At next opportunity, I will rent from Michael again because everything is designed to be 'plug & play' and I didn't have to worry about switching from electric, to gas, to solar, Michael has it set up to all occur automatically. It's a great rig!
Thanks
