The party's not over!

Well, I haven't posted in a while because we haven't gone anywhere in a loooong while. Sad to say, the Mammoth has been in one place since July! Crazy! She has been doing quite well as a residence, however, and she has lots of neighbors now as well. Right around December the park started filling up with rvs... They were pipeline workers, following their work. The park was completely full once January came around. 

Tony went back to Mammoth and work after the holidays, while I stayed at our home to do some projects. Somehow, a month flew by, and it was March! 

We are still having cold snaps, and one evening, Tony noticed the lights were getting dimmer. The party's not over, why are the lights going out?? 

After some investigation with park management, they determined it was probably the converter not working correctly. 

Tony hooked up a battery charger to get through the next few days -- they were having wintry mix, and temps in the 20s and 30s. He was finally able to test things and deduce the charger was struggling with the battery as well -- not holding a charge more then a few hours -- so I ordered a new converter on Amazon, and he finally got out once roads were clear and got a new battery and a new battery charger. Those held up to keep everything working until the converter arrived and he had time to install.

Luckily, with our sliding door mod, it made getting to everything relatively simple. Once the new converter was installed, everything worked perfectly!
