Rain Is Good and my O2 provider is happy!

May has been very wet.  This has been a great test for our slide-outs and for our solar panel install to see if we had any leaks.  I am happy to say no leaks. 

Since we are leaving for Florida I had my O2 equipment checked and all is a go.  My O2 provider was interested to see how I set up the motor home to use the concentrator and CPAP.  The two solar panels I have only have one job which is to keep my two dedicated batteries for my O2 equipment fully charged.

We plan to have at least electrical hook-ups every night but if that fails the solar/battery system will provide my nightly needs.  If I have to go several nights and or there is little sun I have two standard O2 tanks on board to cover a night or two as well.

By the end of the summer I hope to add a portable 100 watt solar panel to keep our house battery fully charged as well.  This should reduce our need to run the generator when camping in National Parks and Forests where plug-ins are in short supply.

As summer starts I feel set to camp off the grid for at least two nights with out using the generator and longer if the sun is fully out.  By the end of summer I hope to be able to double this time at a minimum.
