There used to be a guy out back at a local auto parts place that rebuilt things like that ......
Those guys don't exist these days .
STM know a good recycle yard ?

That or get a reman- from a parts store (with warranty) might be worth the extra $

And I am a smidge over 2 weeks from Arizona departure…. Eek

[GypsyDogs]

Parts ordered - again..
hope fixed by next week-
I really need some road time…
Still organizing and packing and sorting and downsizing …

Imagine if you will.. how to pack provisions for most contingencies- (grubby work - job interviews / winter-summer) plus food, water, dog supplies, bedding for multi seasons, tech/power and video, car repair/ tools/ and donation solar.. and toiletries and kitchen.. into a minivan along with comfortable space for yourself and a 45lb dog..

Y’all know the drill.

[GypsyDogs]

And ‘comfort/entertainment items’ such as a couple books, a hobby, tunes, laptop, harp, etc..

lol- I may need 2 cars….

But seriously- the downsizing from big van to little van is somewhat challenging. I love the idea of the minimalism- cutting out/away what I do not need or Truly want.. and I am keeping a few things I value highly.. but dang-

[GypsyDogs]

STM says hopefully by Wednesday I will be up and running again..

Great- and the hub’s truck has a Cracked Radiator.. sigh

Karma is gonna owe you some smooth seas after this ...

Happy new year panel!

Got it ON the roof, and cleanly wired in. (including drip loop, just in case) Roof has curves and reinforcement ridges.. so I had to be a little creative. 
Had supervision, of course
   

I can totally accept this voltage- at the end of 25’ of wire and Late day sun..maybe an hour before sunset!
   

Today: battery, SCC, and all their little friends.

Gawds it is good to make Real progress!

Oh- and replaced backup bulbs with led.. wow! Major difference…. Considering doing my dtrls too, when funds allow.
