Adrián drive 75 miles Friday to the German workshop where we stopped previously and picked up supplies for our various jobs. UY Storage is the importer of Victron electronic parts for camper builds and Adrián had stuff to gather for our build.
So after much discussion we want to install a gasoline heater which will undoubtedly blow up but before it does it will heat our cabin easily and it won’t suffer from altitude problems like a diesel heater. Nor will we have to carry separate fuel to feed it.
Our new 110 volt 3,000 watt inverter is en route from Miami supposedly so it hasn’t arrived but it should be here soon I hope and it will look like this.
And Adrián will be removing our squealing second alternator and replacing with a small blue box that will charge our house batteries from our engine battery:
Our 2 old Canadian Go Power lithium batteries, 250 amps each will be replaced by three 180 amp Victron batteries which will be the size of one of our 250 amp blocks saving space and power. Plus we will have a new shore power charger which will take any voltage from 110 to 240:
How long will it take to install it all? Good question meanwhile we suffer through 45 degree days in Adrián’s rental cottage.
Thank god the rain has stopped because that put a serious damper on going outdoors. Now it’s just cold.
