I thought 1.5x/L for diesel was bad, but in QC it’s $1.70!
Only bad part of the trip. Putting in enough to get is to Massena. At least the exchange rate is pretty favorable right now.

Have a tiny water leak that has the pump kick maybe hourly. Don’t know where.

Renogy battery shunt gets stuck this way once in a while and I have to reset it. Has to be something with the dc-dc charger.

The controller for the diesel heater won’t cycle it on-off. Just high low, and it’s got to be under about 45F for that to be ok. Maybe cooler. So I’ll need to figure out a solution for that. Not using propane for heat I can run for probably 2 weeks on my 2x30lb bottles for only stove and fridge.

Haven’t had to think about power other than keeping an eye on it. Have had water run out of get full when not paying attention. 3-4 days is where we need to actually mind it

Dunno how I screwed up the link. This should be it.

Ferry to PEI today. Only had time to drive through Halifax after sunrise breakfast at the beach and then a trip south to Peggy’s Cove. Bigger city than I expected. Would like to spend a bit of time in it.
