Jato, this is getting pretty religious and political.  I don't question for a moment your sincerity in the opinions you hold, but they are opinions based on your deeply held beliefs.  Whether they conform to an objective assessment of the "intent" of the those who wrote our constitution is a matter for debate.  The same is true for Mr. Morris.  He was born in 1810 and by the time he reached 18 years of age, the founding fathers were long gone.  It is a certainty that he never spoke to any of them about what they intended.  His writings are opinions gleaned from what he believed they wanted, but that may not necessarily be the case.  It would not be surprising to find that his deeply and sincerely held religious beliefs affected the formation of his his opinions.  My readings about the formation of our constitution and my study and practice of law since 1973 have led me to different opinions about what our founders intended, but my opinions are just that: opinions, not facts.  Certainly our founders had ideals and political theories, but most of what they did in the writing of our constitution and formation of our government were compromises in an effort to get those with diverse and conflicting views of how to govern to work together for a common goal; kind of like herding cats.

 The main thing to be learned and the reason I posted this topic is to have proper ventilation when using a gas stove in a camper especially for those camping with children. This is something I never knew until I read the article about the dangers of gas stoves and their impact on our health. I have been looking for a small camper that can be towed behind our Kia Soul and thinking of having ventilation while cooking with gas the Nucamp Tag might be a good choice. The Nucamp Tag has the kitchen outside in the back of the camper like a hatchback SUV the back lifts up and that gives plenty of ventilation for the gas stove. I have allergies and have trouble breathing so the news of health concerns of fumes from natural gas stoves got my attention. There is a r-pod model 182G if it is still made and has the kitchen in back.

LA, if your point is that the market is not yet there for low cost RVs to come with induction cooktops then I agree with you to the extent that we add "for  boondock use without a generator" to that. The 2 burner cooktops themselves are only a couple hundred bucks on the 'zon so anyone who camps with hookups or carries a generator and can afford RVing at all could just buy and install one. You'd have to run an ac line to it, not a big deal. If I had a kid with asthma I'd do that tomorrow. 

We have a heat pump in our house and will use it to heat my wife's sewing studio in the lower half of the house where the hot water heat was not installed.  We'll see how costly it is to operate this winter.  In fact, today is the first day we'll be using it.  I looked into leasing a solar system.  It isn't cost effective for our situation, though it may be for others.  The lease was for 25 years, with decreasing efficiency over the years, and the fact that the contract had to be paid off on the sale of our house as it was not transferrable, all make it a bad deal.  I'd be over 100 years old before the lease ended.
