Some welcome mini upgrades!

This has been a fun week or so for our Airstream ownership.  Eva (our Airstream) got the following upgrades!

1.  The stupid fridge fan that makes noise and vibrate the entirety of the 7000lbs trailer was replaced with 3 Arctic F12 computer case fans.  They move more air, use less power, make no noise or vibration.  A good deal all round!




2.  The Parallax single stage converter/charger was removed and replaced with a Progressive Dynamics PD4655 4 stage charger converter.  No more worrying about whether the batteries are cooked or not.  This week will be the mandatory cell fluid level check.  I have distilled water, battery acid and a hydrometer..


3. The crappy plastic Furrion inlet covers were upgraded to stainless steel versions.  They look much, much better and are actually easier to use!






4.  The Peplink SOHO router/AP widget was installed.  Seems to be working well, but I will know for sure during the coming week. There will be a few posts this week about the SOHO and  a few other small upgrades on the way

1.  A switch for the fans.  This will be located on the inside Eav above the TV in the lounge.
2.  Battery maintenance...
3.  The Solar install. Maybe this week. Maybe not. So, kinda just maybe....

  1. Sure liked this blog post, it addresses in some detail concerns that I have with our AS FC25; noisy fridge fan and charger/converter. Thank you. Also did you buy a Champion 3500w dual fuel generator, if so how is it working. Safe travels friend
