Campgrounds
Megawatt does not keep its own campground list.
Resources
Dump stations
Use the park’s own directions. The 2019 Fleetwood manual says to leave the black valve closed until you dump, and it allows the grey valve to stay open on a hookup. Confirm that against your coach.

Glossary
- Shore power
- 120-volt power from a pedestal. The 2019 gas manual describes a 30-amp cord for that coach.
- House battery
- The bank that feeds interior 12-volt loads. Separate from the chassis batteries that crank the engine.
- Amp-hour
- A capacity unit. The Megawatt calculator converts its lithium listings to watt-hours at 12.8, 25.6, or 51.2 volts nominal (the Wh numbers printed in the widget).
- Watt-hour
- Volts times amp-hours. A day of use in the calculators is watt-hours, not amps.
- Boondocking
- Camping without hookups. The planner calls that travel style out so the sun-hour preset and the tier change with it.
- GCWR
- Gross combined weight rating of a tow vehicle plus trailer. The license notes for Maryland and Illinois use it. Read your sticker.
- Payload
- What is left before you hit GVWR, after the coach, people, cargo, water, and propane. The payload calculator does that subtraction and nothing more.
