I added a new animal to my wildlife. I had a ruffed grouse running up my driveway when I came home the other night. I tried to take a picture of him, but he blends in almost perfectly. I circled him in red.
I also awoke to turkeys yesterday morning.
I also went and poached a new switch for the generator. I will get this installed soonish. I found some fuel tank grommet and shut off valves, but I need to check the fuel line sizes.
I also did the math on the camper power. My numbers came up pretty common according to the internet, but scary for the purposes of what I was going to build. The AC alone draws as much power as my entire tiny home does in a day in July. I might consider dumping the battery idea since I am looking at upwards of 8 grand for batteries, and the numbers I need make lithium batteries a must. I came up with 16kWh a day (though I could get it down to 10 by running the fridge off propane), while most internet averages say 15-20kWh a day from what I saw.
I am going out for this weekend, so I won't get much done this weekend, but will start re-investigating generators upon my return since a lot of the ones I looked up previously are no longer available. I might also investigate a hybrid approach with a little super-quiet 1kW inverter generator that should be able to run a day on a tank of gas and a battery or two to make up the difference.
