  1. We just moved from sitting at the base of Mt Rainier for the last 4 months, to my Dad's farm in Ferndale WA. My folks are 96 and 93 still living by themselves on the Farm. We come here for a few weeks in the fall to help harvest their huge Gardens. They still home can beans and we eat fresh garden products. We've taken box loads of garden fresh products to the food bank and generally help get the farm ready for winter.
  2. Thanks guys, Checked everything as was suggested, then found that I was plugged into an outlet that had 14g wire on a 15a breaker. Moved to an outlet that was 12g wire and 15a breaker and all is working. So I have 1000W of Solar and 500Ah of Lithium batteries. With the Magnum Hybrid inverter and a 1500 Heat-pump/AC with a "Soft-Start" installed and I can run for most of the hottest part of the day. The Magnum gives about 20a of "Load Support". So gives me plenty of AC until sun down the AC off and still have sufficient to run Residential Refrigerator and evening lights. Thanks for your helpfulness Kent
  3. We are dry camping this summer in a beautiful place. 20 miles from Mt Rainier with a stunning dining window view. With only a 15 amp of electricity. Recently something happened, not sure what. I have a Maginum Hybred inverter, and a Power Control System by Precision Circuits Inc. When I have no load it shows 120V but as soon as I put any kind of load it drops to >100 and turns off. For example when I turn on the water heater at 11Amps it drops voltage to 99 and kicks the PCS to disconnect the power. Is this a sign that my PCS is going out or is out? Or some other electrical issue? Any Ideas? Kent
  4. Hi Trey and Susan, We are at Lazy Z MH park on 72nd st. Literally every park we talked with they said that it has never happened before that they were full. In fact 99 RV at the north end of 5 and 205 called around to try and find places to send people and found nothing. they had no idea why everything was full, but it was. We only have 2 more months here, and it has been a nice 55+ MH park. It is not an RV park with showers and all but there are a couple of empty places here though I don't know if they are set up for RV or just MH's. Kent
  5. Well we pulled into Vancouver WA, an RV sight we had hoped for was full...We called drove and looked around an no one had a place for 3 months. So we finally found a place for the 3 months in a MH park. Not the best but but only $300 per month +Electric. An one else in Vancouver Portland area?
  6. The first of November we arrived in Phoenix and will be here until April. We will venture out to the Q but mostly stay busy here in Phoenix. Kent
  7. We just arrived at the Timber Valley SKP park in Sutherlin OR. Are there any other HDT in the area??? We will be here for two weeks or until the first week of December. I know there are a number HDT members through out Oregon, just wondering if any of you are coming through Sutherlin? Kent
  8. Well we left the horse ranch where we spent the summer. We are now in Bellingham WA. We are visiting my parents and helping them with some fall chores. We will only be here for a couple of weeks then we will move to Portland on our slow move toward Arazona. Kent & Jan
  9. Spokane Washington...We left Phoenix AZ. the first day it was to reach triple digit temps. We took a month to get to Washington. Left the rig in Grand Junction at my uncles horse ranch, and we spent a week in Denver at the office. Then through Idaho, Montana and back through the top of Idaho into Spokane. We are sitting on a horse ranch. Where we will be for the summer. 6 horses and lots of beautiful area to ride. Free hook ups for riding and helping out around the ranch...not a hardship. Kent
  10. Left Yuma and moved to Phoenix. We are settled at Southwestern College. We will be here for two months. Kent
  11. After three months near Anthem, North of Phoenix. Friday we are moving to the SKP CO-Op park in Yuma AZ for a week. Want to get some dentist work done in Mexico, as well as Speaking in a local church on the 9th. We will be back to Phoenix a week later. Kent
  12. Well we made it to Portland OR and will be here for two months. Then to have Thanksgiving with my parents in Bellingham Washington, for several weeks then to Phoenix for the nest 4 months. Maybe see some of you in AZ. I am sure that we will come out to the Q for a little while.
  13. Greetings, We are Lurkers, We have been around for several months. We are looing to full time in a little over a year. The input of this forum has encouraged us to consider a HDT. So I am very thankful for all of your conversations. I actually have been lurking on a number of forums and it has been better than reading a book on RVing. Thanks again everyone.
