an unexpected test drive


The trip to Morocco came about somewhat unexpectedly.

The German Water Foundation had planned and designed a new fog-harvesting system, revised in many details. A test installation in the mountains of southern Morocco was to prove its suitability and yield, and photographs and video were needed. For me, the assignment was a welcome opportunity to test the truck and life in it under real conditions. It also meant finishing the conversion as quickly as possible.

The electrical work in particular took much longer than expected. We wanted several 220-volt sockets for the microwave, air conditioning and, most importantly, charging computer and camera batteries. So we screwed, hammered, drilled and sawed late into the night.
