D’Hanis, TX - SKP

Tuesday - Yesterday was a busy day. We “hosted” a St Patrick’s Day dinner here at the park. Corned beef, cabbage, carrots, potatoes, Irish soda bread, and applesauce cake. We had over 50 people and there was a lot of cabbage and potatoes left over. I didn’t get around to taking any pictures. Afterwards, I was too tired to do much else.

We went into the outskirts of San Antonio for some shopping. Including Daiso, which is kind of a Japanese dollar store. Lots of cheap items. I didn’t see anything I had to have. Then on to Hobby Lobby. Followed by a delicious lunch at Chicken Salad Chick. I had a toasted spicy pimento cheese BLT. Very different as I never had pimento cheese before. 

Wednesday - The regular early morning coffee got me up and about. I picked up the class C and started installing ½" plywood on the inside of the one of the dining seats. This will allow me to install all of the components for the upgraded electrical system. 

On the left is a Vctron 2000 watt sine-wave inverter/charger. It also functions as a configurable battery charger and will deliver up to 70amps. In addition, it has features such as PowerAssist. This allows you to add additional power to your shore power connection. For example, you choose to limit shore power to 10amps to avoid blowing a breaker. And you want to run a high current appliance. The inverter/charger will add up to 2000 watts to allow the appliance to run by combining battery power with shore power. 

To the right is a Victron Lynx Distributor. Basically a positive and negative buss bar with up to four fused circuits. Next to that is a single SOK 206ah LiFePO4 battery. Above the battery is a Victron 500amp shunt, and to the right is a 300amp ANL fuse. Two more components need to be added to this space. A 30amp DC-DC charger and a solar charge controller. 

The two lengths of romex will get patched into the shore power connection after cutting the existing cable. I still need to finish the 12V run between the SOK battery, the ANL fuse, the main shutoff switch and the Lynx Distributor. Then on to configuration.
