Made it to Quartzsite for the winter. The calendar says it should cool down now but the southwest is still hot! Here’s hoping that November will be cooler.
It was a nice time in town last week. Richard’s celebration of life event was a wonderful tribute to a his time with us these last 77 years. Several relatives gave testimony of the love we all shared with him. He will be missed.
While I was in town Daryl helped me install a mini split air conditioner and a new fridge. With the crazy weather we seem to be experiencing now, I wanted to be prepared for whatever Mother Nature wanted to throw at me. With a mini split you can not only cool a room, but they also serve as a heat pump for those chilly mornings. I’m trying to get away from propane as much as I can so I bought more solar panels to beef up my system. I now have 1600 watts of solar for my little motorhome!
I have been using a chest type DC fridge for a couple years now, but I never really liked it. You have to dig through stuff to get what is always at the bottom, and I never liked the location I made for it. The new fridge is an upright that fits in the hole where my propane fridge went. It is also a DC compressor cooling system so takes a tiny bit of electricity to run. I like having a door that opens to shelves and a separate freezer that will keep my ice cream frozen.
I will update with a review after I’ve used both appliances and know more about them.
Long enough to update?
