Larry is using his little tractor to help us with these very heavy batteries

Our new batteries!

After we left the big Q rang in Quartzsite, we drove down to Yuma, to have our new batteries installed in the bus. These two batteries are HUGE!! They each weigh about 318 pounds, so as you can see in the pictures, we needed help in installing them. Both of these together is equivalent to ten 6 volt golf cart batteries. But, the big plus is, they will put out 1156 amp hours! WOW!!

This is the ONLY time you will see me on a toilet, as you can see we'll have a very high perch to sit on...notice the bed in the background

The carpet is on there so the mattress won't shift

Ron actually took some pictures of the cedar lined area inside, but, those pictures didn't come out, unfortunately. So, this is what we're left with. At some future date, when he opens it up again, you will see that area.

The inside look at the bed pedestal

Sorry for the lag time...

We've been in a campground without cell service, so couldn't upload any pictures for awhile. I'm almost up to our current pictures, as you'll see shortly, but, first, I want to show the bed pedestal Ron built, and we've also put the toilet and shower base in where they are going to sit.
