In the first post of this series, I explained the chief downsides of lead acid batteries, the type found powering the house bank in 99.999% of all RV’s you have ever seen.
It is a depressingly long list.
As you will soon see, on paper lithium ion batteries seem to be superior in almost [...]

We’ve now had our bus for a little over 3 months – but we have yet to come up with a name for her.
Well, I should say – we have several contenders, but none of them are quite “it”.
So it’s time to ask for your help.
A little background on the bus, [...]

We’ve made a few teaser posts showing off our new lithium ion battery bank, but we’ve yet to properly explain why on earth we decided to venture off into such uncharted electrical territory instead of installing a more traditional flooded lead acid or AGM battery bank.
This post is the start of [...]

We feel satiated after completing a lot of projects while at St. George RV Resort.

The manager of the park introduced us to their new woodworking skilled maintenance man to see about building our dual desk unit. We didn’t think it’d be possible to build something quick enough for us to get back [...]

Two weeks ago we finally escaped the intense Arizona desert heat in Lake Havasu City, and headed to nearby Flagstaff. Sitting at elevation 7000 ft, it’s many degrees cooler and has things that are green.
We came here intending to cool off – both our bodies and on the bus projects. We were also [...]

Honestly, the post was a feeble attempt at keeping this blog updated while we’ve had little energy for such things these past few weeks as we’ve been tackling project after project [...]

We took the photo on the left after a quick clean up. We just took the photo on the right after a lot of renovations we’ve accomplished so far! (And that’s just in this area of the bus!)
How many of the differences [...]

We arrived in Arizona nearly 6 weeks ago. In that time, we’ve experienced only one day in which the high temperature was below 100 degrees, and many of those days in excess of 110. You’d think that when you have location flexiblity, we’d take advantage of the first [...]

We thought we’d share what we learned about traveling via a rail pass [...]
