Rainy Brisbane


Its been raining on and off all day so production has been slow, still got all done though.
No I won't power up yet, not until we get sun light, all five banks putting out 25.3 volts and looking good, the Phantom's own, not energex but andicanrelax. The full set up has 4 x 250 watts solar panels, 2 x 40 amp mppt regulators with 24 x 6 volt batteries at 225 amps each, running at 24 volts giving us 1350 amp hrs.
Oh, the seats are all covered  thanks to my wife, looks absolutely marvellous, considering she did it all in the bus on a rainy Brisbane day.
Now the next thing is to remove the whole air conditioning, replacing it with a 1000 litre water tank. The bus already has a 450 litre chilled drinking water tank, black water and grey water tanks. We have 12 seats with tables in the TV room up front upstairs, 2 double bunks with under bed drawers, a study immediately as you come up the stairs, then another 2 double bunks followed by the master bed room down the back with a queen size bed rocking chair and lots of storage.
