Well, this is a different scenario for me but life is full of challenges, right? Every jobsite that I have parked the Old Girl at over the past 3 years has either had 50 amp service or no service. I modified the 30 amp service common on older RVs so I could run BOTH air conditioning units on 50 amp service. On the older 30 amp recreational vehicles you cannot run both Continue reading Sweltering in the Crushing Texas Heat
Wednesday morning I woke up in my RV and the gray light was just starting to seep in the windows. An insistent beeping had awakened me… the Norcold refrigerator yet again! WTF? Deja Vu. This sucked! Shaking off the sleep, I looked at the Trimetric and it showed 11.2 volts. How could that be??? I had gone to bed the previous night with adequate ( I thought) amps banked in the batteries. Obviously not! Rain Continue reading OCD Behavior in the Boondocks Now that I am out of the big deep freeze for awhile, it was time to do some piddlin’ around the Old Girl. I used a precious gallon of propane to run up the Generac 6.6kw generator for an hour. I checked all the lower compartments closely for any signs of mice. Cold weather like we recently had really drives them inside. I went up on the roof and swept all the pine needles away. Continue reading It’s the Little Things….. Friday was a raw day outside.

I took advantage of the frozen ground to get out and do some prep work for the upcoming cold temperatures before the sun turned it all to mud again. I had several things to get done on both the recreational vehicle (aka Old Girl Continue reading The Temperatures Drop in SE Texas A remote jobsite north of Newton, TX. March 2009 The orders have been placed for the new equipment. I will detail the equipment purchases in detail in Part Five. I will let you know that I chose Wilson Electronics for the bi-directional cellular amplifier and the inside antenna. The question is Why? From an average consumers point of view, these factors influenced my decision. !) Wilson has a great reputation for quality and Continue reading The Ultimate Internet Access Project – Part Four. Why Wilson Electronics? I just don’t understand some of the design aspects of the older 30amp motor homes. Particularly when it comes to the air conditioners. Most 30 foot and better Class A coaches have front and rear AC units. With a 30amp power source like you would get from a shore power connection you can only run one air conditioner at a time What? Doesn’t that seem crazy? I know in Texas during the Continue reading Simultaneous use of 2 Air Conditioners in a 30amp Coach |
