so who knew.....When you fill the fridge with warm beer the inside temperature goes up 
Anyone know anything about Thor Campers? 2013 with 24K miles. All new tires. Clean title. Smells like Beer inside.
Thor is the GMC of the Camper World. They own many Brands

I think that would be like a $40,000 upgrade, and you would lose a bunch of storage. As well as make it hugely heavier, and take twice as long to charge. Not a really practical solution, IMO. An ‘average’ camping trip for me out here is at least 1000 miles, if not 2000 for an extended trip.

The most important thing with any camper or RV is to put the word "anal" in front of the name and see what you get.
I assume the graphic designers for RV companies are just tribal tattoo artists from the 90s who decided to go corporate.
The H2 drivetrain is overall lightest of EV, ICE - In the production Murai (mid size) which gets a 500km range the Fuel cell stack weight is 123.5lbs (56kg) while the two hydrogen tank's combined weight is 192.9 lbs (87.5 kg). Add motors like an EV. Design in space for much bigger tanks. Triple the fuel cell, still way less than 6L V6 or whatever.
You get to pick between BEV or H2 for the future right now. Pick one.
Can I haz for birthday? If everyone chipped in…

Legitimate H2 question, is that shit really viable?
It seems like it would be, but you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting an auto journalist with a shitty opinion of H2 power.
I’ve never quite been able to sort out why it’s bad, except that splitting water is inefficient, maybe? Since it can be done using green energy, does efficiency actually matter? Cant you just do it off peak hours in a wind farm?
An H2 powered tow vehicle would just to the top of my list really fast. H2 powered generator would be cool too if I could add the exhaust water to my fresh tank

In a future world where renewable energy power >> real-time grid demand perhaps H2 makes sense as energy storage.
But in that future world batteries probably will be much, much better, too, and in this current world H2 is mostly dirty, via NG.

For Many, Hydrogen Is the Fuel of the Future. New Research Raises Doubts. (Published 2021)
Industry has been promoting hydrogen as a reliable, next-generation fuel to power cars, heat homes and generate electricity. It may, in fact, be worse for the climate than previously thought.
Very nice!
97° outside but it's a pleasant 69° inside the camper
At the moment green hydrogen is too expensive to be commercially viable. You are quite correct about off peak being one of the promising vectors to make it. Also lots of people are building dedicated plants. Industry says most of the required cost out will come from scale, and we have a bit to do with making the electrolyser/fuel cell stack cheaper and more efficient too. It is a five to ten year thing and will start off being used for decarbonising heavy industry and powering heavy transport that batteries will be too heavy for. Once it is cheap, it makes a lot of sense for things like campers too.
Not sure if here or car thread:

Anyone get the feeling that @Changleen works for a company on the New Zealand Hydrogen Councel, like BP?
Would make for a really stylin’ hearse.
Looks like a walk-in beer cooler to me.

I worked at a "camping resort" on Lake George one summer in college. It pretty much marked the starting point of my disdain for the general public.god I hate what the 'outdoors' as a commodity has become

Lake George, NY? We rarely go there and it's less than 30 minutes away.
Yes. Summer of 1994. Worked two properties, one in Bolton landing and the other right outside the town of Lake George.
Whistle Pig's pretty close to us.
Very cool! I spent quite a bit of time up that way then! (graduated HS in '94)
I think this turned out well
