    • That can happen even if the pet is not elderly. The mini Schnauzer that we took on the road with us developed pancreatitis after only 2 years on the road and at the age of 9. Saying goodbye to her was one of the most difficult things that we experienced while on the road. 
    • I own a Bluetti EB3A https://www.bluettipower.com/pages/bluetti-eb3a and belong to the user forums there where I saw the below small unit extended boondock completed project. Pictures and test graphs in the second half of the post. I also have the https://www.ryobitools.com/products/details/46396039798 which I bought open box for $300 and Ryobi had just put their 6Ah batteries on sale for 2 for $129 online only, they were one for $179 in store! I had two already so ordered six more. I already have a six battery Ryobi charger and like the ides of not having battery packs inside when I can more easily charge and replace individual batteries. Both useful for my intended purpose for each. But neither have the power of the Bluetti used in the project below. Interesting approach to me. Both are also controlled by phone apps I found well done too. I also have a Honda EB2200i which I don't foresee using since outages are almost non existent here, and the two we have had were less than an hour. "Hybrid Travel Trailer Power system Excerpt: "Concept: Can I power my Travel Trailer using lithium batteries for the 12v DC side and utilizing my Bluetti 200L for the 120v AC side and have reliable power through extended boondocking events. 12 volt DC side I installed two 12v lithium 100 ah batteries under murphy bed along with Victron shunt and Victron 100/30 solar controller. I installed two 200 watt solar panels on the roof to keep the lithium batteries charged. I disabled the stock WFCO 35 amp converter charger which was not lithium compatible. I installed a Victron 20 amp 120v charger to charge the lithium batteries when shore power is utilized. 120 volt AC side: I installed my Bluetti 200L under kitchen sink with the AC charging port connected to shore power. The 20 amp output from the bluetti connects to a 30 amp transfer switch with the shore power so when there is no shore power the bluetti provides power to the entire 120v trailer system. I also connected the 12v lithium battery output to the bluetti 12v accessory plug charging port to keep the bluetti charged at all times. The Bluetti 200L can be removed from the trailer by simply unplugging the 3 plugs from the it so I can use it for other things."

    • Sorry to hear that your traveling kitty's adventures are coming to an end.  We traveled fulltime with our Cobweb (Cobbie) until his end at age 14.  We were always able to find a vet to work with us.  The vet we found in NH that prescribed special thyroid meds was  able to send it to us wherever we were.  Canada might be more challenging.  Can you get the injections and give them yourself?  We had to make the hard decision to let Cobbie go.  We had him cremated and his ashes still are travelling with us.  Enjoy the time with your fur buddy.
    • Larry hope you mentioned my name if possible.  She really knows our trucks very well and how to work within the Progressive organization.
