Arrow Nebraska August 2023 BS Thread

Seeing that Pat is slacking or should I say stuck in training, I figured that I would start the August thread for him.

My final PreOp is this week. Not sure if I'll beat Pat to the new knee. His insurance seems to be much better than the VA.

Morning Pat, all NE and friends. Lee, good luck with the VA and the knee surgery! So far, mine's getting there. Getting close to the right degree of bend at PT. Must be pain IS a gain !

Howdy Nebraska heat lovers.....

I have been working for months on a robust solar project on my Montana 5th wheel


Yesterday morning I checked each solar panel to make sure each one was producing power and it was getting to the solar controller.
All is well...

The solar project is 100% finished...
Not a single hole was put in the roof....

600Ah of lithium batteries.....
3000 watt pure sine wave inverter
1100 watt pure sine wave inverter
100 amp solar controller
many cool details

The Montana 5th wheel is totally independent of outside power sources...... electric or LP. I can even run one A/C unit.
















Screenshots from my phone... BT connection to the batteries and the solar controller.


Around 1000 - 1100 hrs today. Running one of the A/C units to provide a load.




There are other views available. Each battery can be looked at in detail, down to individual cells.

Good morning corn farmers, and everyone else here.

Another day in paradise for you all I hope.

I went on a 4 day camping trip with my daughter, it was great.
We made sure to stimulate the economy by burning lots of boat gas.

Good afternoon Pat, Ian and crew.
Pat, I figured you would be training all the new people! The said you the HMFIC with all the knowledge!

I am betting the 67 would like a little attention.

Yard work all done before it 83°, all cleaned up, showered and relaxing!
