Daughter Candy, Solar Stuff, Vancouver, WA - April 20 - April 23, 2015

It was a good stay at the TT in Bend, a little chilly, but good.

We headed over to Springfield, OR and stopped at AM Solar. I had two things to pick up for my solar panel install.

AM Solar


They were really nice and professional. Their waiting room had a wall all setup with their products. I had to get some pics




This is what I picked up. A combiner box and 30 feet of 4/2 cable. ($230.00)


Then up Interstate 5 and into Washington! Yes, those are bugs on the windshield.

We parked at the Vancouver Elks Lodge #823.

They only charge $15.00 a night for 30 Amp and water. What a deal! It will be three nights for us.

It is a great place to stay when in this area. There were only 3 other rigs here.



Candy, our oldest daughter came and stayed with us while we were here. She even cooked us dinner each night!

Here we are.




While here, we went to Costco, Walmart, and Home Depot, where I picked up another pile of stuff for my solar/inverter install coming up soon.

Here is the goodies I got from Home Depot.

It was time to get my back board put in so I can start mounting stuff.


3/4 inch plywood is installed.


This was my working area.


Time to start hanging equipment.


I changed out a couple of breakers and did a little re-arranging so I now have a 30 Amp breaker dedicated to my inverter.


And I installed some wire molding to hide the wires that feed my two remotes.



It is starting to come along.

Today is moving day.

Time to go see the Pacific Ocean!

    1. It really is a good thing. I asked AM Solar about them doing my install. They said $100.00 per hour and it looked like 14-17 hours. Wow!
