Well, Monty took her first trip into the wild over the holiday weekend. The mountains were wonderful, no phones, no television, did some serious reading, walking, and fishing. BUT, not having a generator or the 6 volt battery set-up we were without power by the time we were ready to leave. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate closing the glides and retracting the legs by hand. We tried charging the batteries from the truck, but somethings haywire in Denmark, because that little backup plan was a non-starter. Am I incorrect in thinking the batteries should take a charge from the TV? Now we're looking into installing a set of 6 volt batteries and picking up a small generator. Would there be any advantage to installing solar to keep the batteries charged?
All that aside, it was still a good weekend.
