Made it to Quartzsite for the winter. The calendar says it should cool down now but the southwest is still hot! Here\u2019s hoping that November will be cooler.

It was a nice time in town last week. Richard\u2019s 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\u2019m 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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019ve used both appliances and know more about them. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
