Day Three, Solar Installation

Picked up the battery box yesterday and I was delighted. This box will hold 4 Trojan batteries on the tongue of our trailer and give us plenty of amp storage.

While Paul and I worked on the trailer the ladies worked in the garden.

Once we knew the box would fit, Paul cut away the old storage box and prepared the frame for painting.

This is the steel frame Paul made to support the stainless steel battery box. It also was painted once we knew  it would work.

Finally it was time to crawl up on the roof, run the wire and clean off the old solar panel. Pop-rivets were used to seal the holes and each was immersed  in sealant to prevent any water leaks.

To-day the batteries go in and the panels go on. Can't wait to see how it all works out. Check back tomorrow for more pictures.

Safe travels.
