Hi Paul!
We were planning on being there, but I had a brain hemorrhagic stroke on November 15. Recovery is going well, but am working through some memory loss. Have fun and our best to everybody!

It was a great rally and we had over 75 coaches in attendance.
The 20th annual was lots of fun, here's a shot from the drone of the camp and most of the coaches.

And he still had to run his generator. We went all week with 400W and 420Ah’s and never ran the generator.

Yeah kind of funny but he is in the process of upgrading his batteries and had the solar disconnected to them
We went all week too without running the generator other than after it was serviced there at the rally to check for leaks
PS....do you have a residential fridge?

Propane fridge. The batteries only dropped to 75-80% at the lowest and were fully charged by noon on most days. I’d considered putting 1000W or so on the roof, but may just stick with 400W on the ground. They can be tilted and placed in the sun, even if the coach is in the shade.
