Testing the Array

2018 Northeast, Road Trip

For the past several years we have traveled with a Zamp 80W solar panel suitcase and found ourselves underpowered in dry camping situations. One issue in our smaller T@B was that the battery was undersized when paired with a 12V refrigerator, even with its efficient Danfoss compressor. Now in our current T@B not only do we have a 235aH AGM battery and an efficient Danfoss fridge but we recently purchased an additional 80W Zamp panel and Y-connector. On sunny days we should have no problem recharging the battery with our double panels and with our beefier battery we should be able to have enough power to make it through some cloudy and rainy days. For extra insurance we have our 2000W Honda generator. Looking forward to more off grid nights this summer!

Slow Journey Home

Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
