Using a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery in an RV solar system offers several benefits: 1. Longer Lifespan LiFePO4 batteries typically have a lifespan two to four times longer than traditional lead-acid batteries. This means fewer replacements and less maintenance over time, which is especially useful for RVs that are…
As we wrapped up the first leg of our journey, I found myself reflecting on everything we’d learned—about travel, family, and living with MS. It wasn’t always easy. There were stressful moments, frustrations, and a fair amount of flack from loved ones who didn’t understand why we needed this trip.…
Every trip is a learning experience, and this one was no different. Along the way, we discovered some must-have items that made the journey smoother and a whole lot easier:
