January 8th 2004

There is so much to get done before we head out for Quartzsite.  Today was a big day...

The house batteries had to be moved to a more permanent home than on the floor in the living area, so first thing that needed to happen was to cut a hole in the side of the bus so I could get the batteries in their permanent home.

I took a couple of measurements and went to work with the grinder, jigsaw and Sawzall.  In about 20 minutes we had access to the compartment that I planned for the location of the house batteries.

It might have been a bit of overkill, but I know how heavy the batteries are and wanted to make sure that if Becky decides to take the bus off road that the batteries won't fall through the floor <grin>
A plywood sheet the same size as the supports, and 1 x 2's along the sides and back to keep the batteries from sliding around while in transit.    
A beautiful sight!  8 Trojan T105 batteries.  Snug as a bug.  They fit perfectly - this could not have been planned better.   
...And the spaghetti of wires that makes the magic of electricity a reality!
