RE: LooC (Lucy) - rvpopeye - 12-26-2022
There used to be a guy out back at a local auto parts place that rebuilt things like that ......
Those guys don't exist these days .
STM know a good recycle yard ?

That or get a reman- from a parts store (with warranty) might be worth the extra $
And I am a smidge over 2 weeks from Arizona departure…. Eek
RE: LooC (Lucy) - GypsyDogs - 12-28-2022
Parts ordered - again..
hope fixed by next week-
I really need some road time…
Still organizing and packing and sorting and downsizing …
Imagine if you will.. how to pack provisions for most contingencies- (grubby work - job interviews / winter-summer) plus food, water, dog supplies, bedding for multi seasons, tech/power and video, car repair/ tools/ and donation solar.. and toiletries and kitchen.. into a minivan along with comfortable space for yourself and a 45lb dog..
Y’all know the drill.

And ‘comfort/entertainment items’ such as a couple books, a hobby, tunes, laptop, harp, etc..
lol- I may need 2 cars….
But seriously- the downsizing from big van to little van is somewhat challenging. I love the idea of the minimalism- cutting out/away what I do not need or Truly want.. and I am keeping a few things I value highly.. but dang-

Happy new year panel!
Got it ON the roof, and cleanly wired in. (including drip loop, just in case) Roof has curves and reinforcement ridges.. so I had to be a little creative.
Had supervision, of course
I can totally accept this voltage- at the end of 25’ of wire and Late day sun..maybe an hour before sunset!
Today: battery, SCC, and all their little friends.
Gawds it is good to make Real progress!
