We have a 2011 19 RGU, and love it. Towed with an F150 5l, it only eats up about 5 or 6 l per 100, so not too bad. We had a 3" lift kit installed after losing 2 stab. jacks entering a mall parking...

Re: DRY CAMPING BATTERY LIFE

We found the Visa too low so we added a 3" lift kit. Now we don't scrape the stabilizers at gas stations etc. Have you had any problems?
