Dennis and Melissa

We almost put that into the loop. But had to cut something.☹️ But I still have it on my list. I'm considering stopping there for a few days when we take our big trip to UT in the spring. TY

That looks soooo peaceful. I may add it to my "return" trip (from St. Louis to Hohenwald). TYVM!

That would be great! The websites for the Arkansas state parks are marvelous. They give me lots of confidence picking out sites. That plus AllTrails is about all I need to make plans 🙂

We finally have all of our reservations! Sooooo many wonderful state parks. Thanks to everyone for their advice. Continued feedback from those who know the area is still very welcome. Starting mid Jan..... 2 days at Fort Pickens in Pensacola 1 week @ Lake Ouchita State Park 1 week @ Petit Jean State Park 1 week @ Mt Magazine State Park 1 week @ Devil's Den State Park 1 week @ Buffalo Outdoor Center (not a state park 😜) 1 week @ Babler State Park 2 days @ Hohenwald for first annual checkup wander back to Tampa by mid March....

Has anyone ever driven on the "million dollar highway"?

After recharging, everything seems to be back to normal. No worries. 😎 I think I have learned: "the batteries need to be fully charged twice a month to allow the monitor to sync".

I just watched Victron's video for the BMV-712. It says the batteries need to be fully charged twice a month to allow the monitor to sync. So, I guess I just charge the things and hope it clears up 🤪

FWIW, the LI3 Battery app reports each of the batteries at 24% now.

I have 2 lithionics 320Ah batteries with solar. They were allowed to sit in the shade for about 2 months. When I returned today, the batteries were so low the fan for the composting toilet was not running. That's what I expected. But I'm surprised to see my VictronConnect app report the batteries at 100%. I tried resetting the BMV controller (press setup and select at same time for 3 seconds), but that doesn't seem to do anything. I'm currently recharging the batteries slowly (solar + household current). Any thoughts?

@Sully We are planning to visit Newfoundland in about a year (sometime late aug to early oct) @rich.dev was nice enough to refer me to this thread, which I read immediately. Great pictures! And I especially appreciate the campground descriptions in the last post.

We are just starting to brainstorm our trip up north for about a year from now. So, no hurry. 😂 But would anyone care to share experience/advice? We are looking at taking the Trans-Canada Hwy ferry to Channel-Port aux Basques. Dates are still very flexible (late August through mid October). But we're thinking of spending about 2-3 weeks on the island....and taking every day-hike we can find (Gros Morne looks amazing!). Of course, we also have to drive the round trip from Tampa. 🤪 So if you have ideas for that part of the trip, that would be great, too. Anything north/east of Maine will be completely new for us. 😲

We live in Tampa. Minor wind damage at the homestead. Power back on in our neighborhood, but many others still out. Our kids, who live nearby, are bunking with us for the AC. 😎 Ollie lives in a covered, outdoor storage facility in nearby Plant City. We visited him yesterday. All appears to be well,even though many nearby neighborhoods got hit VERY hard. Some are still underwater. We are very grateful to all the emergency crews from around the country who have come to visit. (I met a crew from Nova Scotia at WalMart yesterday!) It does my heart good to see their solidarity, expertise and preparedness.

That looks wonderful TYVM!

My current itinerary has a question mark on that day. 😀 We will probably just drive till we are tired, then find a place to boondock.

We have been talking about this! It's really encouraging to hear you say you've done it. (Gives me some assurance that I'm not completely insane )
