Title: Parking Locations?
Post by: TopDownDriver on February 03, 2021, 10:43:40 am
Alright, so considering a Unity TB unit.

The purpose of this RV will be to travel the country as a photographer and setup my post-production facilities in the RV while traveling mostly back roads.  Considering a unit with the LP generator, 400 watt solar panels and the LiOn batteries.  A couple of questions.

How easy to travel through a small town?
How easy to park in a small town?  On the street?  In a parking lot?
How long can you go without having to refill/recharge?

Hoping this will work for me as the other options are too small for living in during this time.

Thx

We don't have our TB yet but the whole reason we purchased one was the ability to take it into town and park. It drives more like a large van than a big class A which sucks taking into town and I hate it. We are down sizing for this reason and can't wait. Good luck.

Actually small towns are much easier then the cities - I avoid the larger cities and do mostly secondary roads including lots of gravel roads.    I can get around anywhere as it is similar to some of the pickup trucks. 
I might need to walk a bit further to get parking but have not found anywhere where I could not park.  We even park on the street quite often. 
For the gravel roads you will get all kind of rattles; some are easy to fix others are just going to be there.  I bought a roll of bubble wrap to store things.
A prime 400mm f2.8 fits nicely behind the chassis seats handy to get to when you run into places like this one  2020 Grasslands Road Trip all pics | Flickr (https://www.flickr.com/gp/cbaarch/6pK8Gg)
this is a good blog as there are a few items that shows what they do for parking and getting around without a toad.
