Testing the Array

2018 Northeast, Road Trip

For the past several years we have traveled with a Zamp 80W solar panel suitcase and found ourselves underpowered in dry camping situations. One issue in our smaller T@B was that the battery was undersized when paired with a 12V refrigerator, even with its efficient Danfoss compressor. Now in our current T@B not only do we have a 235aH AGM battery and an efficient Danfoss fridge but we recently purchased an additional 80W Zamp panel and Y-connector. On sunny days we should have no problem recharging the battery with our double panels and with our beefier battery we should be able to have enough power to make it through some cloudy and rainy days. For extra insurance we have our 2000W Honda generator. Looking forward to more off grid nights this summer!

OUR VERY

LATEST

Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park

It was at Bletchley Park that the Allied Codebreakers deciphered German military messages during the Second World War. A free guided tour gave us a good overview of the campus and the activities that occurred here from 1938 to 1945.

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
