Friday - Last night, my sister and brother-in law arrived in their camper van. Today, we ventured into San Antonio to see some of the sights including the Riverwalk and the Japanese Tea Garden.
It was a pretty warm afternoon and the shop had a frozen yuzu limeade that really hit the spot. The Japanese garden was built in a former limestone quarry and was really nicely done. There was a wedding in progress plus several groups doing graduation photos.
Saturday - We headed up to Fredericksburg this morning. We visited the Pioneer Museum in Fredericksburg. We ended up rushing back to Hondo since the power problem showed up at the RV. The problem being all the DC and AC power turns off. I had traced the problem to low voltage at the pedestal causing the inverter to bump up its DC current consumption beyond what the two SOK batteries were willing to provide causing the BMS in batteries to disconnect. I think…
Sunday - This morning, I put the third battery back into the RV and, so far, not a single issue. And we have had dips in the AC voltage. The voltage fluctuations may have caused our Apple TV to bite the dust this morning as well. I have a new surge protector ready to install tomorrow morning when it is cooler. At 92°F, I don’t feel like wrestling with the 6AWG wires and shutting off all the power to the RV. I have the new one set up to replace the cord reel as well as the non-functional Progressive Dynamics surge protector. This is the second failure in 5½ years. In trying a different brand of surge protector this time. A Hughes Power Watchdog. One benefit with this brand is the wearable components on the surge protector are replaceable. Progressive Dynamics just wants you to buy a new unit. At least that is what they told me on the phone when the last one died…
