Another beautiful weekend at my land in Nacogdoches Texas

Couldn't have been better:)
35 degrees at night, 60 during the day.
Sunshine and the bass were biting:)

I've got 232 acres with a gorgeous 12 acre lake. Only one problem: A beaver I've got to get rid of:)

With the new batteries installed, I was able to run the heater all night night both nights and barely put a dent in the voltage level.
Kept the coach a comfy 70 degrees.

Next step is installing my new Renogy solar package and inverter, then I won't have to run the generator to make the coffee in the morning.

If there's any way to post a video, please let me know.

The real trouble starts when the beaver gets around to your log cabin.

I love me some land yachting

Guys, I'll keep it simple: if any of you want him, you're welcome to come relocate him to your place. ๐Ÿ™‚

Dillapreme, I just received the kit from Renogy. It's 200 watts ( two individual 100 watt panels with 25 year warranties) and the charge controller. I bought it on cyber monday and paid 390 total. Since the AF1150 is pre wired, all I have to do is bolt the panels onto the roof with the included hardware, connect the jacks, and cut our the spot marked on the wall of the coach for the charge controller. Should be an easy couple hour project.

Wonderful pics. Not to be nosy...but what does a spread like that cost in Texas? Where I'm at...$450-500k gets you 20-40 acres of land with a nice home/barn.

We are in the process of buying a hobby farm so curious to what a real ranch would cost down there....cause we are moving when I retire and AZ, TX, NV and UT are my top states so far.
