Wednesday - We arrived at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta (AIBF) around mid-morning. They found our registration but couldn’t locate the packet of parking passes. Probably as I registered for the RV parking separate from volunteering. They gave us a nice elevated location so we would have a nice view of the landing area.
As an experiment, I just placed the StarLink antenna on top of our slide under the slide topper. So far, it seems to work fine with download speeds of over 300 Mbps. I was thinking of setting it up on the roof but this is easier as I don’t need to climb up on the roof.
All of the parking is N-S so the solar panels can’t be tilted. They are peaking at under 400watts so not very good. We will be running the generator quite a bit while we are here. Dry camping. No power, water, or sewer for the next 11 days.
Bummer about the parking precluding tilting up the panels! We are experimenting with using the Starlink dishy inside the bunk area of the VRRV and will try using it while on the move tomorrow.
