 Been puttering along fixing and improving things getting ready for adventures.

I installed a new radio as the old one was not working. This turned into quite the task as the new digital technology did not really want to get installed into its new-old analog home. But after an hour on the phone with the tech support people it's now sounding great.

I also installed a rearview camera that I can view through the GPS screen,  running wires for this was a task made difficult by how well Roadtrek built the unit.

Speaking of running wires I got the Inverter installed, it's a 2000w pure sinewave one that should allow us the use of 120 volts while not connected to shore power. It also has a remote switch and monitor so I can turn it on from the cabin and monitor the system at a glance. you can see it in the corner at the bottom left of this photo.


I lucked out here because the installation was made easy by the fact that the van's power converter was set up for a generator so I just used that circuit for the inverter instead as we don't have a Gene.

Karin and I went through all the things we'll need (pots and pans, dishes, and towels) from the other Galavans and have started to pack up.
