APU or CAMP mode on Harvester addition

[Jbos]

My suggestion would be for the Harvester models to offer an “APU” (Auxiliary Power Unit) or “CAMP” mode. In this mode the gas motor would run in a “quiet mode” and would power primarily electrical accessories such as interior and exterior lights, accessory busses, and the air conditioning/ heater. Optionally, the gas motor, while in APU or CAMP mode, could start and shut down as necessary to keep the batteries at the desired charge. This would be great if actually camping or stopped for an extended period of time. It could also be used as a “DOG” mode if you had to leave your pal unattended for a little bit.

If you search YouTube for the scout/CES show you’ll find several videos showing a camp mode along with the UX showing a countdown of time/range/battery use to track your ability to get home.
As a suggestion to help since you recently joined-there is a search button you can check around with and it will take you to any/all posts relevant to the topics you are interested in. There’s been some great discussions already for the camp mode along with things like pet mode and even a dark mode. Tons of info here from 2-1/2 years of crazy thinking so check it out. Hope you enjoy the forum
