Main Breaker Breaks Twice - No Primary Heat

I evac'ed the motorhome.  It blew main braker for the second time in a day.  The temperature was getting down to below 0°F and it was loosing heat fast.  The 20lb propane tanks aren't recommended to use when their indoors.  The 1lb camping style tanks only lasted my "Portable Buddy" Mr. Heater for about 2-1/2 hours on high.  When that went out, my electric heater, that I connected to the electrical box with a heavy duty extension cord, went from 47° to 37°F and falling.  My choices were to either stick it out with the -15°F sleeping bag, or get a motel.  My relatives have been worried about the temperatures lately, so for their benefit, I got the motel and I'll be sticking it out here until the motorhome thaws in a couple days.

It behaved this way this summer.  This is the converter's way of telling me that it's had enough.

Additional Electric Heater and Main Breaker Blown

It got down to about 0°F last night and once again, the pipes froze around 15°F.  But I'm coming to find out that they're freezing inside.  So, I went to the local hardware store and purchased a baby electric heater.  My idea was that if I turned it on under the master bed, then I can heat the pipes?  My laptop, tablet, smartphone and the microwave are on the 20amp circuit.  My already existing ceramic heater was on my 15amp circuit.  Considering that there the 20amp had a lot of energy star compliant, low wattage devices on it, I figured that it might handle the load.

The 20amp circuit wasn't the issue.  The load blew the main.  So, I went back to the hardware store.  Then I went to the other hardware store.  Neither had a 20amp and 15amp mini switch combination breaker.  I had some thing to do today, but I knew this was going to cost me... in time.  So, I drove about an hour one way to the RV store to get this breaker, got gas in the car and came about an hour back.  I was so slick in some places on one of the highways that I didn't really know if I was going to make it into a valley on one?

With the main out, the heat was as well.  In about 3 hours, the motorhome's living area lost about 19°F. I found the interior temperature to be at 40°F.  Certain electronics can be sensitive should never go below 37°F.  I turned on my "Portable Buddy" by Mr. Heater.  It's a propane heater.  At 40°F, the inside temperatures started to rise with just this heater itself.  I didn't have time to see how it really performs under the circumstances because I had the new breaker in.  But I'm going to have to order backup, replacement 20/15's soon just in case this happens again.

Benchmark 120 Likes Reached

Adventurer's Project's Facebook page cleared the 120 like benchmark sometime earlier today.  The new benchmark is now set at 180 likes.  It currently stands at 123.  I'm not sure what the total reach is?  I can't find a feature on the page's insights that would allow me to see that.  But if I had to guess, it's been on the news feeds for 7,000 to 10,000 people.  The inbox notification for the page looks like it might be malfunctioning?  I had to select several types of messages before I found where they are.

Adventuer's Project is an unincorporated effort with an intent to result in the creation of a new chapter of the Buckeye Trail Association in the Upper and Mid Ohio Valleys, Southern Noble and Eastern Morgan Counties of Ohio.

Looming and Adventurer's Project's Likes

Adventurer's Project is very big.  I'd say that it's looming over me as I write this.  It feels huge.  But the thing that's keeping me going is heart.  It may not be logical?  I doubt that some on the Buckeye and North Country Trail associations would understand, but it's what it's taking.  I guess that this is me becoming more than myself.

But what people need to understand is that there's a difference between average volunteers and the over achievers out there.  When comparing themselves, they shouldn't put this in terms of me's, but in terms of them.  The last thing that I want is an inflated situation when really we need to face reality and get things fixed the right way.

Today, Adventurer's Project crossed the 90 likes mark on it's Facebook page thanks to some of the residents in Woodsfield.  The next bar is 120.  I'm using this as something to indicate how healthy the chapter is getting towards chapterhood.

Sewage Tank Frozen

The pipes came back on in my motorhome today.  I think that the pressure regulator was damaged.  It looks like it's needle is jammed, indicating "high" pressure?  I'm reading 34°F right now, but my sewage out take hose is feeling like it's rock solid.

Motorhome and Physical Therapy 01/21/2019

Day 2 of the cold snap.  The chassis with the tarp draping down and covering the back side of the cab will hold 65°F with the roof heat pump on it highest setting and Eco Mode on the ceramic heater if the outdoor temperatures is about 10°F.  Of course, Woodsfield of Monroe County is very calm when it comes to winds.

My pipes are still frozen.  But I have a hair dryer and I'm going to try to see if I can get the ice mass in the hot water tank to melt if the weather doesn't do it for me? I have a C clamp propping up the master bed platform to try and heat the underside where it is.

Today is Martin Luther King, Jr day, a Federal holiday here.  So, I'll be at physical therapy tomorrow, the next day and two days after that this week.

Pipes Froze

The indoor pipes froze in my motorhome between 18°F and 12°F.  My pressure meter was reading high.  I can tell that my hot water tank is frozen solid.  When I went to relieve it, nothing came out.  The air temperature is 9°F now.  I'm planning on staying up all night. And sleeping tomorrow.

Note to self: hoses inside the motorhome need insulation.
