Well, we are now gearing up to complete our move to the farm as we are going to have a tow company move our Park Model RV up by the barn. We have a beautiful location with shade trees and grass where we have much more room to grow. While we will be boondocking (i.e. no hookups) we can supply solar/battery power for most of the day and generator power for serious AC and for the freezer. And we have a cistern for water, which is very commons around here becuse of the rock base only inches below the surface that makes wells very costly.
We also were able to complete our battery bank "after" surviving a $900 car repair bill which left us weighing food over power..power won. So we now have 16 Trojan T-105 six volt and 2 Trojan T-1260 twelve volt to give us tons of lights and this is set up for 24 volts DC to our small invertor. Future upgrades will include adding two 100 Watt panel per month for the next year so that we will have over 2400 watts + 420 Watts for the current buildings. We are lucky in that we have a golf cart sales and repair shop in West Plains, MO who sells used Trojan T-105s for $30 ($20 with a core) and T-1260s for $40 ($30 with a core). Buying and moviung over 700 pounds of batteries was fun!! Fran's poor back as she got them out of the truck!
