Working & Dinking Around at Crescent Bar TT Resort - Quincy, WA - May 19, 2016

Time is going by pretty fast here at our Thousand Trails workamping spot. We are both working now. Donna and I both man the Welcome Center, checking folks in and stuff. She also does cleaning while I will be taking care of the pool and hot tub. They have finished the work on them and are filling up now.

Since the last time I posted, we have done a few things.

Here is Donna with her friend Carol at a yard sale. That is Wenatchee in the background, our old hometown.

Some of my projects:

I picked up 2 of these.

Two of our old RV doorknobs don't work all that good anymore,

so I changed them out to the lever style.

Much better now.

I removed our old water filter that was located in the compartment that housed the Solar Controller and Inverter. I was always worried about a leak of something.

Now it is an external filter.

Easier to change the filter out now too.

We have 30 amp service here. On occasion, I want to run both air condtioners at the same time. I monitor our current usage all the time using the indoor monitor panel..

With the front AC running, we are useing 15 amps with everything running and 1 AC. I turn the rear AC on in the Fan-Hi mode. Our usage goes up to 18-19 amps. Then I set it to Cool and when the commprssor kicks in, it may spike up to 32 amps, just for a monemt, then settle down to 28 amps. That's cutting it pretty close to a breaker trip.

So I bought an electrical 'cheater' cord.

It puts the 30 amp circuit on L1 of our 50 amp cord, and a 15/20 amp circuit on the L2.

Because the two 125 VAC circuits are not 'out of phase' with each other, my inside monitor panel still thinks I have only a 30 amp connection. But that's OK. I checked the true reading outside with our Progressive Industries EMS,

and I can see the RV loads split up on both legs of our 50 amp cord. Our second AC unit now will run on the L2 leg by itself and not threaten to trip the park 30 amp breaker. Cool. As the summer heats up, I'll post if I have any issues come up.

We drove accross the mountains to visit our son. The boys, Rome had a T Ball game.

Rome & Ry getting ready to go.

Tim, Rome & Ry. Typical Western Washington weather, just about to start to drizzle.

Ryker is a good spectator and fan.

Tim is the Coach. Here he is giving batter pointers to Roman.

It's a hit! He had a fun game.

Good game, good game, good game.

Thats about it for this update. I'm thinking the blog updates may be spread out to monthly updates.

Unless something special happens, then I'll do one sooner. We'll see....

Working .... working .... working....
