    Just an idea, just an idea... (heated yoga mats)

    Thanks @Patrick46 and @TMG51 -- I like that roadpro heated blanket! Those guys make so much great 12V stuff.. I also love the idea of using traditional heated tubing, which I know is supposed to be pretty efficient for homes (i.e., that's how "normal" people normally do it).. and plus it...

    Just an idea, just an idea... (heated yoga mats)

    Thanks for the replies, @anewbiewannabe and @Free Range Chicken! The heated floor mats that both of you guys provided links for are 120V, but I am really looking for something that is 12V mainly because I would like to connect the floor heater to the 12V factory upfitter switches on my van, that...

    Just an idea, just an idea... (heated yoga mats)

    Thanks for the response @gsfish! This would be for heating while you sleep.. with blankets or a sleeping bag on top... and a dog underneath the covers don't forget that :) I agree this is way over priced. You can probably find a cheaper version somewhere else most likely.. what i'm trying...

    Just an idea, just an idea... (heated yoga mats)

    So what do you think? http://www.therapads.com/product/solarflex-mat/ I have no idea how efficient it would be, but it seems like it would run off 12v given the fact they offer a 12v to 110v converter for it...

    12v on demand water pump

    Hey @Pard4u2 -- that would be for a RO water filter faucet and a ~1.5Gpm showerhead and it would require a toggle switch, and another switch for the on-demand water heater.  I really love how there's no extra switch to turn on the water with your setup!  Still on the fence for this one~

    12v on demand water pump

    I love this amazing post! Just to comment, what about power efficiency? Cost is important, but energy is not free either! Power systems cost a lot of money too, not to mention batteries do not last forever. What do you guys think about this pump...

    Choosing the BEST ADHESIVE

    Thanks @SternWake -- sorry for the late reply, i've been very busy completing the design for my electrical system (there's a post out front if you're interested!) which includes no solar panels which i explain in other post!  I didn't even think about the heating up of the solar panel itself...

    It begins!

    Hey friends just realized a typo, under requirements, #1 should read "250A max" and #2 should read "...programmed to accept 13A @ 120VAC maximum resulting in 143.5A DC maximum current draw..." Sorry, wish there was an edit function! Also, here's a link to the wiring diagram for all u non...

    New city law would ban RV camping in Anchorage parking lots

    You know, akrvbob, the united states today is not the same united states of the past. A lot of people on this forum advocate against stealth because they say it makes you look suspicious, and while that may be true in some cases, or some places, people really have something horrible against van...
