And as promised .... new photos ! ... But still in the beginning stages. As you can see, we are now insulating the back area, over the engine compartment. And I am hoping to get the bed frame built this Sunday. We will be buying some more shelfs for the sides. We have the shelf supports to paint...

Hello again ... I apologize for the serious lack of photos lately. My camera has been borrowed for a while now, and I am getting it back tomorrow. This will allow me to update the photos and progress. Should be interesting. I hope to have the walls mostly done this week. Curtains and shelfs are...

My condolences brother. Much love and peace sent your way.

Wow ... No. I was born and raised in Texas, and will never forgive myself for it ! :@ I am once again living in Texas, but by no choice of my own, and I am trying to leave as FAST as possible. TX is a place of EXTREME religious fanatics. And if a bus or van is parked near them, they will most...

As far as ruling out Solar ... That is just for now. I would love to one day rely completely on Solar. But I will first need to get to the Pacific Northwest and see just how good or poorly solar will work on those cloudy days. I will also need some time ( years ) to get enough funds to properly...

Ah yes ... I have used that extensively. Just never for Velcro LOL.

Uhh .... Nevermind :D .

Hey uhh ... I just saw this thing .... http://www.dyersonline.com/camco-solar-refrigerator-roof-vent-system.html Is there any reason this would not work well to keep my fridge running ? .

Er uhm ... Today find me sitting at home, waiting for paint and stain to dry. Tomorrow I will be installing the remainder of the interior wall panels, and some much needed trim. I also hope to finish gluing down the entry way carpet up the stairs. I have a few questions I thought someone may...

Understood ... I will get a clamp on voltmeter, and the PM4 as well.

Hey Stern .... Is this the same Powermax charger you are recommending ? http://www.amazon.com/POWERMAX-PM3-100-CONVERTER-CHARGER-AUTOMATIC/dp/B008B13NIQ/ref=pd_sim_sbs_hi_1

AWESOME ! Great info I needed ! So this next question is VERY important SternWake ... And this is what I need to know : If I do simply run the generator for an hour each morning, then 4 instead of 6 should not matter at all ... right ? It seems it would be difficult to run 4 GC batteries...

Ok ok ... good info. I have been reading like crazy, but my ignorance is holding me back. I was under the impression the House batteries were only charged up every couple of weeks. Am I misreading you are telling me they need charging DAILY instead ? I know use will dictate this, but man am I...

Wow Stern ... That is some good advice ! I would like to have all of by batteries in one tray for sure .... But I am really concerned about just having 4 Golf Cart batteries. Just seems they would need recharging a whole lot more. .

OK ... I found out today that I could technically mount the Starting battery in a custom made box, right behind where the House battery compartment is. But it would slightly block the airflow to the radiator, and would also require some fabricating. Putting it under the bed would be MUCH easier.

And that would be along with the battery charger, which would be DIRECTLY over the House batteries under the bus, and allows me to also mount the switch somewhere in that exact area. Minimizing literally ALL of the wiring. This only leaves me having to find a place for the generator. But I am...

Ok ... the single Starting battery issue is solved ... If I can not find anywhere to place a pair of Starting batteries outside of the living quarters, I will place ONE of these under the bed ...

Ok then .... The Optimas are out then. I will study my options further for Starting batteries which can go inside with me, if they must.

Uhmm , I do not think the Optima Red Tops off gas or need water ever added. Seems they could go under the bed.
