Our New House

---

Just a brief pic to show our new little “house” — aka camper

The cargo trailer made a good bed but didn’t provide for much else and long term it became problematic. Way too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter.

This camper is a bit bigger, has a kitchen and storage space, has windows and a bit of insulation. The interior lights pull 18 watts each though, and that’s too much for our current solar power setup. We can turn one on for 10-15 minutes without any major battery drain but we don’t usually because w don’t want to tax the system too much. The power is better put to use with work gadgets and tv or movie watching.

So we’re currently using LED tent lights plugged into USB plugs that are plugged into 12 volt sockets which are in turn wired into the camper’s light sockets.
