    Is there a point where you can have TOO LARGE of a battery bank in your camper? In this episode, we’re testing the limits of space and battery power by installing a whopping 1100Ah in our truck camper. Come along and see how we make this work in our camper which was built well before the off-grid system days!

    Want a good calculator to figure out what battery size YOU need? Here’s one we made (link to full-screen version):

    Where We Stayedโ›บ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ๐Ÿ“Œ

    Penpac RV (Redmond, OR) – (Google)

    While not really a campground, the owner (Dan Penington) does allow people to stay in their campers while Penpac is fixing your rig. We saw last year several folks from the Truck Camper Rally come here.

    If you have a truck camper OR have fiberglass repair needs, Penpac is the place to go. It’s not pretty but they get the job done and at a fair price.

    Where We Explored๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘€

    Not much beyond our camper and Penpac RV!

    Where We Ate ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ”๐ŸŒฏ

    Grace and Hammer (Redmond, OR) – (Google)

    If you’re in Redmond, the pizza and ambiance at Grace and Hammer are worth heading over. It’s a converted church and a lot of outdoor seating. I personally loved their cocktail selection and Gary was always able to find something on their respectable beer selection.
