gridloreWe dropped off the Sun Box containing the old Harbor Freight solar panels at the home of the people who bought the trailer. What a relief.
Those things generated 45 watts and were outdated almost the instant we bought them. They were a pain to set up and tear down on Playa. The Sun Box was heavy and just another thing we had to load and unload. Now that's gone.
The Far Trailer Empress Marava has 100w panels installed, with an actual control panel so we can monitor things like efficiency and battery temperature. One less thing on the camp to-do list. More importantly, one less thing to load!
More importantly, askshandra took a book from their little free library when we were there yesterday, I added one before we left today.
