Hi all, thank you in advance for your suggestions.
One of us is disabled and spends about 20 hours a day lying down and can only sit/ drive at a 135 degree angle.
We have ordered a gas EB with Quigley 4x4 and are trying to finalize our interior. Initially we assumed that we would go 50 (possibly 51) without the fridge behind the seat for lean back but we really want a 3 way propane fridge.
The reason for this is that we have to park on the street in an area where the Friday/ Saturday night party crowd are bound to get onto the roof and damage the solar panels. Being in the van for 20 hours a day, I think a noisy fridge would be very annoying. We also don't want to run the engine every day, hence the quieter propane fridge decision. However a propane fridge doesn't seem to fit in a 50 as the flame is too close to the gas tank filler (given the fact that we need 135 degree lean back on the driver's seat and so can't have any cabinets close to the back of the chair).
Question 1: Has anyone solved the propane fridge in a 50 problem? Has anyone ever put a propane fridge in the back of a 51?
So we have started looking at walk through plans and are beginning to like the idea of an EB45 as with the gaucho out we think we can lean the seat back to 135 degrees. Although we've been in about 6 50s, we've never been in a walk through plan.
Question 2:
Can anyone with a 45 tell us if with the gaucho in bed mode and the driver's seat as far away from the steering wheel as it goes, is it possible to recline the seat to 135 degrees?
Question 3:
Is there anyone in the southern california area who has a walk through plan similar to the 45 who would let us have a look at it? We are in San Diego.
Thank you for your help
