July 24

Kitchen/work area is finished, pending approval by the Inspector General (bottom center of photo.) We only need to add a simple shelving system to hold computer equipment and a few books.
The aluminum threshold at the end of the kitchen counter unit allows the wiring to be run from the opposite side of the bus.

We also installed a shower curtain, and two privacy curtains, fore and aft of the shower. Hook them to the opposite walls and you have a cozy, private changing/drying off area.

Bathroom door installed. We used four standard cabinet hinges, which are spring loaded. One of the privacy curtains is shown, along with the towel racks.

Shower curtain and privacy curtain.

Electrical center. Included are:
MorningStar Tri-Star TS-45 solar charge controller (upper right)
Square-D fused safety disconnect (grey box below charge controller)
Exceltech pure sine wave inverter (black box @ bottom)
Xantrex DC Load controller (white box above inverter)
Trimetric 2020 system monitor (above load controller)

Also visible are the common negative buss (above Trimetric) and power distribution point (to the right of Trimetric).

One the wall to the left, at the bottom is the backside of the DC fuse/switch panel. Way above that is the rear of one of the Polk Momo MMC460 speakers.

Bedroom & entertainment center. Pioneer CD player/stereo (standard automotive type) at top, Polk Momo MMC460 speakers @ left & right, and DC switch/fuse panel @ bottom. A good location so I can remember to turn off the electrical "vampires" before turning in for the night. The inverter on/off switch is next to the DC switch panel.

The 12-volt flatscreen TV/DVD player will be mounted above & between the speakers.


("Vampires" being the electrical devices that consume power, even when turned off. This mostly means anything with a remote, or a built-in clock. Vampires be gone!)
