Doggie Door for Hera

Some new things have been happening with Hera, slow upgrades. The Wanderer 10A solar contoller didn't burnout, but it did screw up it's programing and stopped functioning well. It said my solar panel was 24v, drained my battery and half the digital panel died. I ordered another Renogy product, the 40A Rover to replace it. Of the 30A-40A controllers, it seemed to be one of the cheapest. I decided to go bigger incase I want to upgrade some things in the future.

As you can see above, the new doggie door is installed. It locks from the inside. The doggies can now roam the van while I have the door open for ventilation. I want to install one more hinge on it, but for now, it works great.

Another weekend in Drenthe, Netherlands

We found a cute little place to park. The forest area this parking lot leads to is filled with grave mounds.

This is one of those situations where I'm glad Hera is such a normal size. If she was a big RV or camper, she would not fit here at all.

Parking on the end gave us a little place to pull out a chair if we wished for a cup of coffee.

This is the hunebed D11

This is part of the war memorial built to reflect the Neolithic hunebedden in the area.

Installing the new fridge

Our new Dometic CombiCool RC2200 has been installed on a sliding out shelf.

it has just enough room underneath it for our black water tank. The sink and stove backsplash tiles still need to be reinstalled.

At the same time, I have built a footrest for when the front seats are rotated backwards. The seats are a bit too high to be comfortable. This footrest has a hole in it to be a cubby for shoes. It will get stained shortly.

The gas hose to the stove now has to be lengthened. I'll do that tomorrow. I'm tired and have sawdust in my pants. Time to pour a cup of tea, watch some news and probably take a nap.
