LBJ Ranch

Tuesday - We visited the LBJ state and national history sites. The Texas White House was closed for renovation but the visitor centers were well done and included a driving tour of the ranch. A lot of history and reminders of the politics of the time. 

It was a cool-ish 44°F this morning but has warmed up into the mid-70s by midday with a very gentle breeze. Pretty nice. I was going to set up the TPMS but I ordered the wrong batteries from Amazon. My plan for tonight is to disconnect from shore power and see how we do with one battery. Kind of like it would be at a Harvest Host. 

This morning, I ran the microwave and the Multiplus reported low battery voltage. The 1500 watts is right about the max amps for the SOK battery. Michael, our new neighbor, mentioned that he had a couple of SOK batteries that he wanted to sell. For the right price, we would have two in the class C and three back in the class A. That would eliminate the low battery voltage warning in the class C and allow for a 3K watt inverter in the class A. The old Magnum inverter/charger feels like it’s on its last legs.

We had barbecue at Proof and Cooper in Johnson City. It was pretty tasty though the sides could have been better. I just didn’t pack any other dinners besides the leftover chicken we had yesterday. Poor planning on my part (or maybe good planning!).

  1. Why not just fire up generator? Or are you gathering data?

    1. Gathering data. Since we were in an RV park, I could’ve just plugged the RV back into shore power.
