Santa Rosa, New Mexico.)

I'm trying to get caught up to present day so the next couple blogs will be long.  Hope they aren't to hard to load. Let me know in comments at the end of the blog if you are having trouble.

No where to hang pictures and the refrigerator has a wood front panel, so I used a stapler and straight pins to turn the small windows at the sides of the couch into picture frames.

We love our new slow cooker. Even when we are not plugged into shore power, the cooker only uses 300 watts so we can use it on our solar powered outlets
Leib drove out to Deming from Michigan to help us install the solar on the Arctic Fox.  He arrived on the morning of the 11th and after his tent was up we went to the Deming Rock and Mineral Show. The next day we drove up through the Gila National Forest to the Gila Cliff Dwellings, over 8000 ft elev.

First the mounting station had to be re-worked for the new trailer.  On the left is the finished panels . The one at the front is stationary. The bigger one can be tilted 0-90 degrees. Each panel has it's own set of marine deep-cycle batteries and has different functions inside the trailer.

The solar controller and disconnect are installed in the front pass through storage area. The LED display telling the battery temperature, phase, output and state of charge is easy to read in this location

In the underbed storage are the two 104ah Agm solar batteries covered by the large box and the 300 watt inverter to it's left. Also covered up are the fuses, breakers and wiring.The rest of the space can still be used for storage. Yea!!
Thank you Leib, don't know what we'd do without you.

I like to close with a sunset, view from our trailer door.
