My 'Stash' and Power Issues

We are here at Crescent Bar in site 23.

It's been pretty hot here. All week in the mid to upper 90s. A good test for our refrigerator. We have a 30 amp site and are using the handy dandy 50 to 30 amp pigtail adapter. We also have a Progressive Industries EMS-HW50C 50 Amp Surge Protector w/ Voltage Protection & Remote Display.

We had this one on our Cameo 5'er also. Well, it saved the day again. It must have been a loose connection at the power ped or something. Our EMS showed we had 107-114 volts ever since we have been here. The most we have used at one time was 27 amps. We only run the living room AC and if we use the microwave, we switch the AC to Fan only. Our EMS shut power off to the rig because the voltage dropped to 102 volts. When it came back on, during the 'power wait timeout', the voltage was moving between 105 and 103 with nothing on yet. As soon as the 2 1/2 minute delay passed and power came back on, it tripped off again. We were using only 4 amps at that time (the charger, etc). We approached the Manager and requested to move to a new site. There was 1 50 amp site left. He was kinda rude and (of course) said no one else has problems, it must be our rig.

I don't think so...

We did move into the available 50 amp site. Even if it is next to the dumpster!

Now all is good. We have the living room AC on and Donna is washing clothes. L1 is 114 volts at 14 amps, L2 is 120 volts at 5 amps. Cool, Cool, Cool.

We also got a call from our good friends Bruce and Carol. They plan on heading to Alaska in their MH probably this coming Thursday. Then we will move over to their house and do some house-sitting and I'll water and mow the apricot orchard till they return. They expect to get back around the first week in September. Then we will take off . Freedom is on the horizon!!

Another big event that I got accomplished, was a bit of a haircut.  Actually quite a bit.

Before.....

And...After....

Now I can eat ice cream without looking like a goofball!
