Editing Video

This week has been so busy  that we didn’t take time to edit this weeks video..  Fighting with Eco-Worthy in hopes to get the old solar system up and going before we head out.(Don’t think we should purchase replacements when it’s all under warranty). But that’s not going to happen ,  we are still being ignored, no calls or emails back..  Plus side the new solar (Not from ECO-WORTHY!) has all been delivered, we will begin setting it up once back from our trip!

We will have the video up this week!

Cleaning Day

Cleaning day.. We don’t fill up the tank in the RV so means boiling up hot water. For drinkable water we fill up 4 5 gallon jugs at walmart to use. This will change once the new solar is up and going… Once the solar is up we have 3 / 330gallon tanks full of water that will be hooked up to a well pump. Progress part2.

So, until then we run the generator to vacuum, and remain in travel mode for showers. When will the solar be up, you may ask? We had planned to have it built and up by now.. But with shipment delays and  price of lumber we have decided to wait until after our upcoming trip.

Busy Week

Sorry this weeks video will be late.

This week has been busy with trying to get promised shipments delivered. Many of you know we have a much bigger solar set up coming.. Well most is here, we are now waiting on the 2000 lbs of batteries to arrive!

Our old solar set up the controller died which caused the batteries to overcharged and killed them. (Luckily they didn’t explode!)
It’s all under factory warranty but the company has ignored every attempt We’ve tried contacting them. 6 phone calls as many or more emails, posted on their Facebook and still nothing back from them..

If your thinking of purchasing a solar setup stay away from Eco-Worthy  Them!

On the plus side we do have our upcoming trip all planned (hopefully), booked and ready!

And it just…might…..rain?
勞…no way.

No Electricity

Sitting here this morning listening to the wind hit the RV, wishing we had electricity to charge up our devices, watch TV. Yes we can run the generator and do all that. But that also means a noisy generator and using gasoline. But it’d also mean missing the sound of the wind blowing, or even sound of Dreugan at my feet snoring.

Soon we will have the new solar built, set up and it’s big enough to run the RV and Brent’s studio. Which means we can finally get Brent’s stuff out of storage and get the container set up. Then hopefully for the first time since we started this adventure on the West mesa ( or as we call it “Plateau Hame De Colquhoun”) we can feel at home.

Don’t get me wrong we are home, we love it here. But a huge part has been missing and it’s been in storage.

Solar malfunctioned

Update on the solar

Haven’t heard back from the solar company, we are thinking the controller malfunctioned which allowed the batteries to over charge  😦 we were lucky that the batteries didn’t explode.. 

It’s usually not this messy and as much sand, had wind storm when we got home, we where so fet up we just left the mess and closed it up..

Made it home, things are not good

We made it home. After spending a night at Loves Truck stop.. 

Though not all was good once we got here. The controller went out on the solar which caused the batteries to over charge and ruin them.  We’re now waiting for the manufacturer to contact us back to replace the controller, batteries  and maybe inverter.. But until then back to boon docking..
