Sorry, I use lead-acid so I have never looked into the AGM. Too pricey for me. Bob<br>

That is all some great advice Graydawg! I hope to never be without a furry companion in my travels. They give so much and ask so little!! The one thing that stands out to me is how much water my dog drinks. I guess I get water in a lot of ways so I don't think I drink that much, but my dog needs...

The stuff is so cheap, I don't see what you have to loose, so give it a try. Three suggestions though. Most important is to use Reflectix on your windows. Heat pours in and out through them. They are also the first place to get condensation. Reflectix&nbsp; has a heavy aluminium on both sides...

I agree with Brian, a debit card solves nearly all you cash handling problems. I bank with Bank Of America because they have branches in so many places. But even if you can't find an ATM without fees, nearly every major retailer will give you cash back. Go to Walmart or your local supermarket...

Welcome!! Any questions you have as you are converting it, feel free to ask us, you are the reason we are here! Bob<br>

Have you traveled much with it to see how good the coverage is? The pay-as-u-go phones usually buy airtime in huge amounts from the big boys then resell it us for a profit. Often they buy from multiple suppliers like Sprint or Verizon, so your coverage is actually better than if you just buy it...

Humans stayed clean for 1000's of years without showers or indoor plumbing. We just go back to the old tried-and-true methods. Works for me! Bob<br>

Thanks for the feedback Kenny. I'm surprised the grease builds up, I would have thought it would burn and flare off. I'm sure your right, the small size and portability means lots of compromises in design. But that is the biggest unit I could carry with me. The main thing is you think it is well...

Very good point! Hopefully the forum can facilitate even more connections among us. I am always delighted to put a face to a online name. Bob<br>

Are you able to run air conditioning off your battery setup? I had always assumed that was just about impossible. How do you cope with the heat? Bob<br>

I'm with you there Bear. Everything I have in my simple home fulfills an important function or I don't have it. But of course not everyone is like us, many prefer more comforts. All are welcome!<br>

It is so counter-intuitive, but since I became a solo traveler and desert rat, I have made more good, wonderful friends than at any time of my life!! Looking forward to many more! Bob<br>

Looking forward to seeing you again at the RTR!! Bob<br>

Welcome! Are you living&nbsp; mobile, or just dreaming? Bob<br>

Sounds like you are angel come to earth. My ex-wife is a hospice nure, and she always said most of her work went toward the family because they were the hardest hit by the situation. As much as you can, take care of yourself so you will always have a little more to give. You have my sympathy and...
