Hey Fred,
How is my fellow 1980 Prevost buddy these days?
Our neighbor up the street just got a 40 foot fifth wheel. It has a TV at the foot of each of the kids bunk beds, One in the bedroom, one in the living room that comes up out of the floor (because we all need that), and a huge one that swings out of a belly bay. Just shoot me now. Why go "camping". We took the little one out of our bedroom, kept the one over the driver because it would leave a hole. Took both the satellite dish and fold up/down blade antennae off the roof. Rita still has to do a little Realtor stuff on her laptop most nights and I check the weather, but we go to escape electrons.
How is your bus coming along?

Been a bit busy with work, so bus hasn't had much attention, still a work in progress. Need to finish up the things that were in process when I was at the last BCI rally in Quartzite.

I made a configuration error in the BMS for my tesla battery modules and lost one of two modules; as it didn't bounce back from being over drained when a battery contactor got stuck in the on position.

I have four more modules on the way so I will be building a stack of five for a heck of a lot of storage. Will write up all the gory details when I post about the new installation on my build thread.

So in short spending a lot more time getting things in order before the next rally. Are you going to be there?
