Whisper and I are spending our first night on the road at the St. Clair Rest Area near St. Clair, Missouri. We have about 2.5 hours to go to get to Chance Garton's house in Springfield, MO. The plan is to sit down with Chance and do an interview tomorrow (Friday) that will be video recorded. (Normally, he just does audio podcasts.)
Today didn't go flawlessly, unfortunately. I pulled over after getting sleepy behind the wheel to take a break and snap out of it when I discovered the new LED lights and half of our audio setup wasn't working properly. After troubleshooting with Chris via chat, we figured out that a particular fuse had become unseated. This fuse is the one that sends power to the front of the van and is the backfeed so the solar batteries are charged while driving down the road.
After seating the fuse, I'm still concerned about an issue with that system. For some reason, it doesn't appear that the batteries are getting charged from engine power. Some more troubleshooting to go!
Meanwhile, I think Whisper is happy our house isn't moving!
