All thing Airstreams

After 15 day out camping, the Solar system is a success! We charged all of the camera batteries, tablets, kindles and speakers.  I am thinking of adding a Crock Pot to my cooking options.  We have one outlet that is tied directly into our inverter and we also have a 12 volt to 110 (300 watt) plug adaptor, in case I am using multiple items. We  installed our new solar system.  We added:
2- 200 watt solar panels
3-AGM 120 amp hour batteries
300 watt solar inverter
Solar battery manager
remote sensor controller 
and a plug-in to add portable panels if we happen to be shaded out.  

We did have refrigerator issues.  While we were in DV (Death Valley) I noticed our refrigerator wasn't getting cold.  Before we left, we had the trailer plugged into shore power and everything worked fine.  The temp started to rise.... but crazy thing, the freezer still worked.  So I froze water bottles and placed them in the fridge to keep things cool.  Worked like a dream! So full hook-ups for the rest of our trip.  We were a little sad because we wanted to be free of expensive camp sites. Upon our return we took our '75' AS into be checked and the verdict is the gas burner is dead, so looking to replace the old Dometic.  Darn thing only lasted 40 years!!

Atlatl Rock Campground

We camped in Valley of Fire, State Park Nevada for three days.  Fantastic place!

Shade structure and fire ring

We highly recommend visiting this lovely state park.  It's dog friendly, scenic with lots of fairly easy hiking trails.  Campgrounds have been some of our favorite with hot showers and fabulous views.  Sunsets here are in a league of their own.














As I was leaving yoga last week, I saw this sweet, sweet Airstream.  I think it was a 1960's and about the same length as ours, so about 24 ft.  It was adorable with the red checked curtains and the bright red details.  Inside they had a couple of "cruiser" bicycles .  The outside was mirror polished!  Beautiful.

There are some amazing vehicles traveling through Susanville.   This is another rig I had to stop and visit.
