We had a couple problems with our new Tiny House.

The first problem was that there was no power. We got a low battery warning. We hooked up a power monitor and saw that our system was only running at 12 volts. We are supposed to have a 24 volt systems. We called the vendor in Utah and he helped us trouble shoot the problem. We did not realize that our Charge Controller has bluetooth. The vendor had us download an app and connect it to the charge controller. We used the app to reset the system back to 24 volts. We still had no power and we decided to let the batteries charge. The vendor felt one or two of our batteries are bad. We waited 6 hours and then tried to turn the inverter on and it powered up. We hope it stays on.

The second problem was our water catchment system. We were so excited to check the water level and there was hardly any water. The problem was that we left the valve open so wall the water drained out. So dumb. We also didn't screw the valve in all the way so we have to lift the tank up to screw it in.

Hopefully we fixed everything.
