Seriously though I added a 15 watt solar BatteryMinder to keep the starter batteries at peak. After 2 weeks it seems to compensate for whatever "vampire" drain I have (stole that term from another thread). It also seems to be crossing over the isolator to trickle the small house battery I have. I have hopes this will solve my premature battery failures. I have further observations and testing to do but so far so good.

Hey, I remember these were things you drove out with from RVI! Have you made any changes or additions since then---even if less than 10? Is everything holding up? Happy with RVI's work and/or rework?

The van is holding up well. We've had some issues with RVI that I'd be happy to discuss off list.
We're working on augmenting the cell amplifier with a more powerful unidirectional antenna.
We've redone some wiring that was not built to manufacturer's specifications.

Re: What are the top 10 best things you've added to your SMB
1. Dometic cf 18 fridge /freezer. I must have ice for my tea (think Uncle Sy) and very cold beer. 2. Solar panel 155 watt and extra Optima batteries to run said freezer. 3. Real penthouse bed. Why did I wait so long? Oh yeah! Two boys in college. 4. AT tires,although I have yet to get to try them out on dirt roads.5. Blackcat heater for when it 's really cold which is hardly ever here but nice to have just in case. I can always add more right?
