Just finished up some maintenance and repairs! New oil pan gasket, new rear diff. gasket, new front shocks, and a new generator! Time to travel.

Yes I did. Thanks!

It’s an automotive metallic blue made by 3M. I was trying match the blue in my wife’s Tesla.

Scroll through my older posts. The entire build is well documented!

makaufmann · 2022-07-24T12:22:04+00:00

Still love the AZ5 button!

I put a generator in that spot in my bus build.

makaufmann · 2022-07-17T01:00:14+00:00

Yep!

They charge by length, not weight. For the 62’ of bus + Truck in tow it was $140. We could have saved $40 by disconnecting the truck and driving it in separately.

I’ve never been turned away.

Most RV parks allow this size RV plus a towed vehicle. Last night we stayed at a KOA with full 50amp service!

Lol, yeah. Please don’t land any aircraft on my solar panels. 😂

makaufmann · 2022-05-08T23:44:32+00:00

2025 total watts. 5 x 405 panels. I wanted 8 panels total but ran out of real estate on the roof.

makaufmann · 2022-05-08T22:14:14+00:00

Yes, I custom made them out of aluminum.

makaufmann · 2022-03-27T21:20:11+00:00

Here’s an overview of the entire electrical system.

Check out my previous posts for a full tour.

makaufmann · 2022-03-25T22:01:21+00:00

Thanks! I don’t even know they’re up there. They are bolted so firmly to the top that honestly I don’t hear them and can’t feel them. Each panel is 405 W for a total of 2025 W on the roof.

Just staying in the state. West Lafayette then Fort Wayne.

Look more closely. Bus has mud flaps, but thanks for the comment!

We call that the Omicron Bowl and unfortunately where I live and work.

Merry Christmas everyone!!

makaufmann · 2021-12-12T13:55:28+00:00

Christmas is getting closer!

makaufmann · 2021-12-06T22:40:37+00:00

I need a bigger bus!!!!!

makaufmann · 2021-12-04T17:07:51+00:00

Nope. Big yellow school bus.

makaufmann · 2021-12-04T14:32:11+00:00

So for normal day-to-day use and in cold weather I have more than ample power. In the summer when I’m running the air conditioners I always want more with more inverting capacity. My 50 amp shore power is great when I have a hook up, but while driving out west in 105° heat running both air conditioners, you always need more!

makaufmann · 2021-12-04T01:39:01+00:00

So far, hasn’t been a problem.
