There are two ways to approach dry camping: either you figure out a way to increase the amount of power you want by using the genset or solar panels or you figure out a way to decrease the amount of power you need.<\/p>\n
I started to reduce the amount of power way back in Thunder Bay when I bought a French press for making coffee. The new laptop is another way of reducing power since I can watch a movie on it instead of firing up the iMac. Last night, I read for about an hour and was acutely aware of just how much juice a 12V light uses. So, I decided it was time for me to find an LED puck light,\u00a0 about which I’d heard rave reviews from other RVers.<\/p>\n
I was heading for the cash at Canadian Tire this morning when I just happened onto their LED puck light display! The one I bought is white and has sticky tape on the back for fixing to a surface. It has three little lights. Tapping the unit shuts one light off at a time, like a dimmer. I’m very impressed; it’s bright and a much easier light to read by. I think I will do like some RVers and slowly replace my 12V lighting with these LED lights. The one I bought was 10$, which isn’t that much more than a 12V lightbulb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
