Checking out this morning... Usual casual breakfast and caffeine fix. Bus won't turnover.
Volts at 23.5... There is a constant, light drain on the bus batteries -which I can't find... and there is seven metres of crank cable between battery box an starter motor. Being off the grid for 6 days, and having not yet got the new charger connected, the easy way is to fire up the generator and use the mains charger. Takes all of five minutes to connect up and three pulls to start the 2.6 kva Kipor. And after 10 minutes running there is plenty of battery. Probably 5 would have done the trick.
Any way we are tidied up and roadworthy so it's back through Yungaburra and Malanda to T-View/Serenitea... Stopping at the Post Office. Oh good, our rates notice has made it!!!
Washing day awaits...
