   Welcome Carol!   
   ....and Thank You For Your Service!!   
      
   All I'd say is just give it a try.  You might even like it enough to do   
   it for a get away somewhere you'd like to spend some time at.  I'm sure   
   they have very good directions that probably go with the units   
   explaining what you have to do and how things work.  Being a Navy vet,   
   you must have abilities to do things the average person doesn't.   
      
   Make sure you ask the people where you're going if they have a place you   
   can plug it in.  They'll probably only have regular 120 volt outlets,   
   but as long as you have a cheap adapter that can get you by if the air   
   doesn't kick out the breaker if you need it. On my Winnebago view, it   
   gets close, but doesn't kick the breakers off.   
      
   Any specific questions about them, ask away.  Go take a look at what   
   they have and familiarize yourself with them a little.
