This has turned out to be an interesting story
Holman motors completed all repairs yesterday except for the slide's awning, which had not come in yet.
THey asked me to come pick up the camper and just bring it back when the awning came in. So I motored up there yesterday to pick it up as requested. After arriving, I got to inspect the work, which was excellent, and it looks better than when I purchased it. But something was not finished which the tech noticed, so I was sent home to come back today.
I did that, arriving before 0900. While awaiting them to marry up the camper to my truck once again, the brown truck showed up and guess what was inside??? My new awning!
So they sent me home with a rental/loaner and kept the dually. I guess I'll go pick it up tomorrow and be back up to 100%.
That's great because when the bumper is bolted onto the Ram, the truck will be mission-ready, and work will shift to the camper. It will get loaded with all the essentials while I figure out what that looks like.
I own a 2K HF generator that is whisper quiet, so I'm contemplating getting a generator box and bolting all that to the backend. I think I will add a second LIPO battery because people who have boondocked for over a week in my model camper, advise that 200 amp/hr. of lithium will carry all your needs. They carried a small gas generator to top up the batteries when it was cloudy, so I think I'll prep in the same manner.
I also plan to add a soft start capacitor to the AC unit and perhaps another one to the outlets circuit. That should allow me to run the AC and a coffee machine on a 2K generator.
Also on the list is a ladder, a cell phone booster, and the Star Link antenna with a roaming plan.
