Good discussion. My days of primitive/stealth camping are long behind me. In
fact, that's why I bought Freedom. AC in the summer and electric heater in
the winter for me. No solar setup will power that, atleast for long. Oh, and
no climbing UP out of a tent. Love my Westie.
I had to retire the orange battery this winter. It finally ran its shelf
life and wouldn't hold a charge. I replaced it with a yellow top. My winter
"to do" was to isolate the #3 fuse to the spare battery. I finally got that
done but. . .I tore everything out to run one wire behind the sink and now,
with everything out and access easy, I am wondering if I should replace the
wallpaper. Bigger job than I wanted though so I'll probably just replace the
sink and worry about it later. BulliGras is fast approaching. And T@P is
right behind that.
No solar for me. Gimme the grid.
Except I keep thinking of Dan & Kat's trip to NM and will get a small
trickle charger, though. Couldn't find the past post about their trip to
Ruidoso (?), NM but they had a dead battery and had to drift down a
mountainside!
BTW: here is G2's original post on the orange batteries, which has links.
