Today, we arrived in Paris, Texas to attend the Escapees Solar Eclipse 2024 event. If the weather clears on the eclipse day, we should have 4 minutes 20 seconds of darkness. 190 RVs are at the event and it costs $280 per RV for 8 days. This for dry camping only, no electric, no water, no sewer connections. We will see how well our lithium batteries and solar panels work to keep our house 12 volt working.
Friday, the day before the event, we stopped overnight at a full hookup rv park. We charged all our batteries and purged out the holding tanks as much as possible. The fresh tank was topped off along with all our containers. The RV tank holds 55 gallons of water plus we have 2 blue tanks of 6 gallons each and several smaller containers of water. We hope that this will be enough water for the 8 days we will be at Paris Tx. It is possible to refill containers but our hope is to prove to ourselves that we can be self contained for the entire event.
