Thank you for a great video, Amy the golfer and Mike the axe thrower. Despite the shoddy work from ANL, your roof warranty is still intact, and Brinkley sent you the new switch. Continued safe travels to the four of you.👍🏾❤🙏🏾
Hey you guys. Stumbled across your channel today. (it's OK - I got up just fine). But LOL - GREAT JOB. Shooting, editing, humor... really good balance with your content. I hope your channel blows up! It's fun to watch - so I'm binging a little today. Yep, it's time-consuming and it's not always EASY (I know) but keep it up! Nicely done! 👍🤗👍
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement! We really appreciate your support. I like to say it's hard but I'm trying, sometimes VERY trying LoL We like to have fun, share our adventures, and laugh whenever possible! So glad you are enjoying it and thank you for taking the time to comment and let us know ❣️ 😍
Thanks for taking the time to REPLY! Sometimes it takes me HOURS to do the comments. But it's fun, right? So yeah, you hit the nail on the hammer - have fun, share and don't take it too seriously! Have a good one, and you guys GO. I'll be watching! 👍😊👍
🍔 This is our Coleman grill. It was gifted to us and we have loved the life out of it! 🍔 They don't make the exact same grill anymore but this is the closest replacement. It comes with it's own stand so you don't need a table at all! Affiliate link amzn.to/3z1A2X4
Why did they splice the solar panels like that? There are adapters readily available which would have made that type of splice not required. The effort just looks so amateurish.
Agreed. I was super upset, I mean they even told us they were waiting for parts and a kit. I'm not sure what "kit" they meant considering it literally is just the panel, a barrel splice, and some heat shrink.
Another question I had was is there even a diode between the panels, I am guessing that it's built into the panel but I'll have to look up Furrion's specs to see.
Back in the day when I built an array for Off-Grid farming purposes I had a diode to prevent the batteries from back feeding the panels. I put one on every panel as opposed to a single one on the inverter. From the googleing I just did it looks like they put the diodes in the connectors. What I didn't know was if the one set of diodes in the connectors at the roof entry point can safely handle both panels. There would have been another set of diodes if A&L didn't cut the connectors off to splice the panels in. I have an email out asking that question to tech support to see if it's ok. Also we have a 460 amp hour epoch battery, but you are probably right about wanting another but we'll see lol.

Bears welcome you at state camp grounds entrance
Have you stayed at the state campgrounds? We'd love to know more about your experience!
What Grill do you have for cooking on the Deck? What type of Table do you have for it as well? See, Im all kinds of nosey LOL
The table came with the Brinkley, but we use this griddle on the back patio counter for our epic pancake breakfast 🥞

@@todayisouradventure You don’t need a diode between the panels. A couple more panels and you will be ready for a battery and inverter upgrade.
Back in the day when I built an array for Off-Grid farming purposes I had a diode to prevent the batteries from back feeding the panels. I put one on every panel as opposed to a single one on the inverter. From the googleing I just did it looks like they put the diodes in the connectors.
