Lots of upgrades happening the last few weeks! The drawer system is gone in exchange for a simple
platform to shed weight and increase the storage space in the basement to make the main floor more livable in case we need to cook/hangout inside for any reason.
I think the thing that makes the biggest difference is the homemade Lagun style table. Having a table inside that is easily moved out of the way is a game changer. When we’re driving, the table top unscrews and stows under the platform.
The next project was upgrading the electrical system. That meant adding a 100w solar panel to the roof which charges our goal zero.
In order to increase the amount of electrical storage capacity, I picked up two additional 33ah agm batteries to chain to the goal zero. Goal Zero may not make the most robust solar system out there, but its hard to argue with the simplicity. Battery capacity increased from 400w to 1200w.
The new electrical system allowed us to also upgrade our $40 Coleman cooler to a new Dometic electric cooler. The 100w panel seems pretty capable of keeping up with the fridge and the additional battery capacity should allow us 4 or so days of refrigeration if the sun stops working.
Now here’s hoping this all ends soon so we can all start getting out again!
