i spent a LOT of time last week on the phone with my credit card company
at the beginning of august, my card got cancelled due to fraudulent activity, right when i was supposed to be ordering the appliances for my vardo!— by the time my new card arrived last monday, i had to get on that pretty quick
my first order was with ben at ben’s discount supply in las vegas, nevada— he found me a “scratch and dent” unique 6 cu ft solar powered DC refrigerator and saved me over $200.00!— thanks, ben!
BUT— my credit card company flagged his attempted transaction right out of the gate, which set off a whole domino effect with his and all the other purchases i tried to make after that— it took me the rest of the week to finally get it all ironed out!
but ben stuck with me and on the 4th! try it finally went through and i’m now the proud owner of a new unique solar fridge!— this is the company that wes at tiny watts solar recommended i buy to work best with the kickass solar system he’s designing for me
next, i ordered my splendide 2100XC vented washer/dryer— wes and savana had a chance to test this appliance at an install they did last week in southern california and they confirmed it will work perfectly for the system i will have in my wonder wagon— they were able to measure the power draw for each stage of the wash/rinse/dry cycles to get a detailed understanding of how using this luxury appliance in my vardo will affect my lithium battery power levels
i also ordered my berkey water filter!— i first heard about the berkey water filters on a wonderful episode of creativity rv, where robin interviews tiki in her rv and does a “find it” challenge with her— as soon as i looked it up i knew i wanted one!
so that is as far as i’ve gotten with my appliances— i still have to order my induction cooktop, but this will not be installed— i will keep it in a drawer and bring it out to use, and i’m keeping the toaster oven i have now to use in my vardo, which will also be stored in a drawer when not in use
the roof is on my vardo and next week they should be putting on the cedar siding and window trim— then they can finish up the inside and hopefully i’ll have her by the end of september!!
my vardo leaving the roofers!
