I concur with David M. about the bummer of sometime having to bit the
bullet for places that have a minimum
charge. (Pirates!!)

Also concure that the prep for coffee in the morning is great!   For longer
trips I prefer to do most food cooking outside
if possible.   Really depends on the type of trip.   DC power to the fridge
extends the amount of propane if using the
fridge on propane....  I guess I'm one of the few that doesn't mind
switching between the two while traveling.
