There are many ways to go about adding solar to your arsenal of energy generating– essential for boondocking(non shore power situations). It seems just the propane detector and fridge (running on propane but still pulling electricity for the electronics) drain the battery in a day or two. Solar makes a gas generator unnecessary for keeping […]
It’s in the early mornings before my family awakens that I spend a little time talking to The Center of the Universe, Source, God, Abba, Buddha–or Love (because all those words boil down to God for me).
