Started the install of LED's under the awning, will finish it up tonight.

I've wanted to do this, as well as install LED lighting under the RV for function & "ambiance." If you can, post up pics of your install & how you routed your wiring. I'm trying to decide if a multi-color strip under the awning is desirable and whether to just tie the wiring into the porch light or pull it into the switch panel inside the door.

I'll post some photos. I'm wiring it into the main distribution panel via wireless remote, wire routed through cabinet. I chose just white to see how I like it. This stuff is so cheap, I think I'm into it for $25.00 in materials and about 3 hours install when its done.

Almost loaded! Heading to the Black Hills of South Dakota tomorrow morning for a week of RZR riding! Think I'll also take a look at the Crazy Horse monument. Haven't seen it before.

Awesome! Have a fun post pics when you get back. Going to do an oil change today on my RZR and start loading up too leaving Friday.

Just added 3 Zamp US made Solar Panels "Smart GLass" rated at 160 watts and they are putting out 180 watts! What a difference it has made in battery management and charge level! No more Inventor Alarms at 4 am and so far no need for Generator at night.. Got set up at Back Conutry Solar in Cortex Colo.

I am moving more and more in this direction. Added 4 AGM batteries last year and want to do a Magnum MS2012 inverter/charger this year. Hopefully add some panels after that.

What did your panels run, if you don't mind me asking?

Sorry haven't been to this forum in awhile. I paid $2500 for whole system installed, he did a great job on the install. They are USA made panels with "Smart Glass" by Zamp. Currently I am getting 190 out of each panel, fun for me not to crank the Gennie.

WASHED IT!

Replaced all 6 tires, and the spare! Made it 8 years on the original tires, so I feel grateful, but these new Hercules tires should do the trick for a few years to come!

Which tires did you get?

[gtsum]

Replaced fuel station gears and gasket as I was blowing the 20a fuse

[Badhabt]

woo hoo...lots of excitement here...new tire covers and anode rod for the water heater.
