Even though we are hooked up to electric I still keep an eye on my solar output. All you people with a solar system know what I mean. I have been getting half the amp charge that I should be getting and that's not good. So with me finally suppose to be able to do the normal things now according to the cardiologist I needed to check it all out.
Sunday I climbed unto the top of the motorhome to see if I could spot any reason for the lack of power from the solar panels. What I found was the panels were covered with a thick layer of pollen dust that had stuck on real good. You would think with the hard rain we had a few weeks ago that it would have washed them off, but instead it just made a thin paste that hung on.
After getting the window cleaner and paper towels giving a good cleaning it was back off to check. Sure enough that did the trick I had back the amps that they are suppose to produce.
Yesterday I tackled a project that I have had for some time and that was the converter in the motorhome. I thought the converter had a switch on it but it does not and it just plugs into the power.
The problem with that is it is plugged into a breaker with half of the circuits to the receptacles and that not good .
It was time to do some rewiring and have a switch for the converter only and that was completed.
I've also got a few projects in mind to make life a little easier while we are on the road.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
This is the travels of Joe and Nancy. Nancy is part Cherokee and I'm Hungarian, thus the name of our blog. We started full timing May,1,2000. We traveled in our motorhome visiting beaches,state parks,national parks,corp of engineer parks. We have overnighted in Walmarts, 24 hour grocery store, boat ramps, FlyingJ. Now with health issues and old age. Plus, we have not used the motorhome in a few years, this part of our life has come to an end.
