Great food, romantic
Ask if the cistern is still used as the wine cellar and if you can see it.

Spa...don't remember the name of the spa but it's at Casa Marina. That's a real nice property. IiRC the original building was the Post cereal family winter home way back.

Edit: if you're driving down from Miami I've got a bunch of places to consider on the way through the Keys

 

Lol I'm interested.

 

Finishing out a bike build. Lots of places had sales this week so I jumped on some pre-BF sales and did pretty well.

 

I have duel X2s. Love them

 

Wow, all the power. From the math I am thinking I'll be able to run a single 27F for starting and running a fridge or diesel heater for a day at a time.

 

I have one for main and use the other for my fridge. Doable but if you are going to rely on one battery make sure you have a jump pack just in case you are left with a weak battery in the cold.

 

My plan for the spring was a charger + solar panel + upgraded battery if/when mine kicks it. Run a fridge on that. That's been delayed for a bunch of reasons, but if I end up with a fridge, it'll still be that setup. One battery, and a solar charger. Buncha dudes on here with dometics/other fridges use a single battery and run it overnight no problem.

 

Definitely, but mine works opposite that time wise. Fridge/ freezer works extra hard to give me Popsicles in August while the truck is parked all day with people going in and out. Very different load than night while peeps sleep.

I do want to get into the solar game by the time I need new but for now I have time and way to much going on to even begin that read.

 

I have ton of clothes left out in the man cave. Next order of business is the the storage area in the room. Ugh that’s where most if not all the overage will go.

 

Once they're at temp fridges are pretty efficient.

Solar is pretty easy. You'll want a solar panel and a "solar battery charger". Just A to B and B to C and done. Solar panel on the roof. I've seen some do it on the hood. I don't know what I'll do and I have plenty of time to figure it out. Until then, frozen gallons of water as ice blocks work for 5-6 days in NMW.

 

Off to shuffle

 

Exactly my problem...going in and out all day in the heat is enough draw for me to worry about getting home. Plus I use a big ish compressor and 2000 watt inverter. Slightly different needs.

Bonus is I can self jump and have jumped pretty big diesels. Can also make 24v if needed. One more thing to go wrong.

 

My wife and 3 daughters, would very much enjoy those...

But, he is first^^^^

 

Nope, imma pass on them now. Guaranteed your wife and three daughters would get more use out of them than I would.

 

On that note, @DoubleRGirl get those his way.

 

I have had my X2 power battery for the past 3 years and have never had an issue. I also have the voltage booster as well.

 

I second this on @Chasespeed getting your nerf guns.....I don't know his daughter's but I know his wife and yes.....they would have a blast with the nerf guns.... @DoubleRGirl

 

That menu looks awesome. Probably gonna go there now
We are driving down, let ‘em rip Dennis

There's a bar in Key West that is very cool that has a bar made from a DC- 3 wing...if I could only remember the name. I'll ask my wife if she remembers
Edit: Key West bar is First Flight

Thanks for an awesome idea!
