Today, we replaced some worn out <a href=\"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/graphics\/imageview.php?image=http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220719-new-rv-slide-topper.jpg\">slide-out toppers<\/a> on our Thor Palazzo Motorhome. Well, when I say &#8220;we&#8221; I mean the contractor who gets paid by us, that is. &#8220;We&#8221; also replaced the house batteries which were getting to the end of their useful lives. They are four deep-cycle 6.75 volt units connected in series\/parallel to produce the house voltage of 13.5 volts (nominal voltages). Additionally, the crew replaced the bathroom exhaust fan which failed last year.<\/p>\n<p>Because the environment is so harsh, we are still considering building an RV shelter across the road from our house. We want to build something that at a minimum will provide:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Full hookups (water, 30 and 50 amp AC Power, sewer)<\/li>\n<li>A concrete pad large enough to accommodate our 36&#215;20 foot slides out motorhome<\/li>\n<li>A roof and  three sidewalls<\/li>\n<li>A lockable north-facing door<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are still some roadblocks to construction since the town may not allow a prefab building. Additionally, we may have to construct a septic system because rumor has it the town won&#8217;t approve the RV to municipal sewer hookup (black tank chemical treatments?). We are still looking into these problems.<\/p>\n<h3>3D Photo Bonus<\/h3>\n<p>The image above was taken in February 2017 just after we brought the big RV home. I also took a side-by-side image pair that day (being the penultimate nerd) and combined them into a gray scale anaglyphic stereo image.
