Another long overdue update

Well over the past nearly 3 months, I have been working on a junky old travel travel trailer I probably shouldn't have bought, but oh well. It is a 1981 Holiday Rambler Aluma-Lite, about 28ft long. (plus tongue)

I am decking it out with solar (100W for now), a good true deep cycle 12V battery (90AH), all new roof vents including a Fan-Tastic model 1200. I really plan to blog more soon once I've hit the road again with the trailer. I will have little excuse this time. I have the space to keep my laptop setup on a daily basis on a desk, namely.

This year I will be touring the Midwest, New England and the east in general. I wanted to last year but I didn't leave until May. This time it's only a month earlier, April, but I will have a much better setup; a mostly insulated trailer (missing a bit in the ceiling, more on that in a future post) unlike May of last year, when I initially only had an non-insulated, fiberglass camper shell on the truck. I got the insulated RV-type one pictured below over in west Texas after a few weeks in place of the fiberglass shell.

A quick picture of the trailer as it was when I bought it.
