Another unexciting day other than the elusive internet connection I've been fighting to find. Up and down, up and down. At one point Jim decided he'd take a nap and I went off to Big Lots by myself. There's a few things I wanted to get that I thought I'd have luck with there. I also thought it would be a great hour time filler. I hadn't been there in a long time so I had high expectations that I'd be returning home with gobs of crap. Only 1 bag of stuff I didn't need and zero of the stuff I actually had hoped to find.One thing I was looking to buy was some plain ole kitchen sponges. Walmart had nothing but wavy sponges. I wanted plain ole square ones. Why so picky? Well, it's easier to wipe a flat surface with a flat edge. I like sponges for cleaning bathrooms and such. I like Handi Wipes for the kitchen. I got that from my Mom.

Well, that's my sponge story. Exciting blog entry... I know. I bet you can't wait to see what else I've typed.
Some of you may remember that our RV is only a 30amp and has 2 A/C units. Both cannot run at the same time. There's the bedroom/bath A/C and the living area A/C. When the sun is down, it's not a big deal. The A/C units take turns. We've forgotten the battle with 30amp since Florida. Tonight I've got the oven on, the sun is still up and the A/C unit is working it's ass off. We've turned off the bedroom A/C. Ugh. We may have to get a portable A/C unit. They're about $300 and we can probably run it off the extra outlet at the campground's power post.

Where is Scott when you need him....do not know how you survived in Florida without two A/Cs.
ReplyDeleteWould be better/ easier? to wire another circuit for the 2nd air conditioner. Can do that without a full switch to 50amp. Wish we had done that while you were here.
ReplyDeleteInstead of wasting money on another piece of junk that you have to lug around, why not just separate off one of your A/C's and put it on it's own circuit?
ReplyDeleteIt is relatively simple, as you just need to disconnect it from your main bus, and re-route the wire to another box with a breaker, and run a 20 amp cord into that box... Then you have the option of plugging that A/C into an external source.
Jim sure does like to take naps!
ReplyDeleteI would have figured that since the generator is 50amp, that the coach is ready for an easy 50amp conversion. Ken's conversion sounded expensive and time consuming. We're brain storming. $300 on an a/c could go toward wiring. Ugh.

I work for 3M. Scotch Brite is one of their many brands. You need sponges? I could soooo hook you up.
ReplyDeleteI love handi wipes....but I think I'm the only one in the house that does. So, majority rules.
