Did I Mention We’re New to This? Fun With the Electrical Panel

Not my picture — I just sought out a Creative Commons image relating to something RV-electrical. And ended up with this….an image of 50 amp, 30 amp, and 15/20 amp outlets.

While my last post had summed up our adventure in getting Bojack to his new home at the Air Force Academy RV storage lot, in the midst of all of that, Dave was fighting with the electrical system.

On Sunday, we brought Bojack over to our house for the afternoon. I gave it a good cleaning inside and out, and Dave worked on some small projects, including replacing the battery and installing a disconnect switch. Continue reading “Did I Mention We’re New to This? Fun With the Electrical Panel”

Everyone, meet Bojack, our new 22′ travel trailer. We’ll explain his specs in a future post. Pardon the arrows on the image, I lifted this image from the original Facebook ad, it was a nice view of the door-side.

We have to blame our friends, who own a Class A motorhome.

Anyway…where was I? Oh yes, I setting the stage for how Dave and I ended up with a 22′ travel trailer. Continue reading “Meet Bojack: The Motivation For This Blog”
