Now there are 3: Solar Powered Systems Reply

This system give me my third solar powered system for the tour. The first is the main system the integrates with the Power Box. Second is the mini system I set up to charge the batteries for the trailer tail lights. Lastly, the laptop powers system. I can use the PowerGorilla to charge other items. I expect to keep everything running from the sun’s energy.

Ride for the Republic Preparation, 05/27 4

Well, we are almost down to the wire. There are only 18 more days until the tour begins and 14 days until my scheduled departure. Final orders have been placed and most items received. I have a cook set to get locally and and initial supply of food to buy. Of course, I have to setup and pack the quad. Will all I have fit. That is to be determined.

Two of the last items purchased are components that I hope will allow me to blog, providing I have Internet access. They are the PowerGorilla & SolarGorilla. Together they should give me up to 5 additional hours of computer use. With daily sun, I expect they will sustain me through our camping periods. I did not use the rack discussed in the above link. Rather, I designed a mount for the top of the trailer. It is functional and looks okay also. Here is are a few pictures:
