Status Report
We are nearly functional. All windows are back in, bathroom is online, beds done, mattresses arrived, fridge and stove are at the office, AC panel is in, waterheater works on AC, Tri Metric is working but not programed, two full awnings, rebuilt door with new lockset which will require some mod so we don't get locked in, and some of the lights are in. Lots to do before Region One.

Tri Matic?
Is that Tri Matic that you referenced the battery monitor system?
If so, do you have experience with this system, or heard from others about its performance?
Curious!
Peace

It is. Easy to install if you read the directions carefully. They could be written better. Seems to work but needs to be setup for each system to have accurant battery status. Factory install gives 100 amp reading for 10 amp load ect. Volts is correct out of the box. Charging info requires programming the unit. Instructions are like those you see in mil tech manuals.
I expect it will be very useful. What it cannot do on it's own is tell you if the batteries are bad.

THat's awesome! I seriously cannot wait for my maiden voyage! With any luck I may just be able to make it after 12 months of work... but then, it gets very very hot here in the summer and that might stop me in my tracks for a few months.

The Bat Cave Express progress report.
Two more panels and the interior will be reskinned with the additional layer.
Today I connected the LPG to the water heater and it worked. The kitchen counter is in, the sink is in and completely hooked up to supply and drain. The stove is in. Waiting for some doors and drawers I ordered for the galley. Tomorrow is a day off. By Sunday night only fine details and the dinette should remain. The only hard part left is building the cabinet for the fridge and the vents. And of course the dinette.

Cool, I couldn't remember and I can't seem to find any pictures of that area before I took it apart.

Two brand new Aluminum 30 tanks on the Bat Cave. Still some finish work but we have been using it heavily the season and mostly very thing works well. A busy winter of finish work and trim and a sping polishing.

I am redesigning. The Kitchen sink gravity drained into the black tank with a trap in between. Problem 1) When the chief of the boat lets the water run the tank fills too quickly. 2) When the black tank was 2/3 full and the electric head flushed it pushed air into the cabin, I think through the sink. 3) Transferring the wash water to the empty black tank to rise also put smell into the cabin. Not much but enough to smell it.
Solution 1) Rerouted sink drain to a "shower" pump with an automatic pump which sent it to the wash water tank. 2) Rerouted the Bathroom drain to the same pump. 3) Seal the inlet to the black tank.
On the list. A gravity backup drain from both tanks. This will be a simple by pass.

interior panels
Hey Paul,
What did you use for your interior panels? How are the polished panels holding up?

Polished panels show every place you touch them. Give's the first mate something to do. Put the last piece of interior skin on and did not polish this. I think it would have been too much shine. Finished fabing the fridge enclosure today. The Zebra wood panel is very nice. I think I'll post a pictures.
The fridge fan system has two layers of fans. At temp 1 the exhaust fans come on, at temp 2 the fans on the coils come on. Four of those little computer fans in total.
