    Free Propane RV furnace, non-working in San Jose, CA (2021-12-22)

    Last call, if anyone wants to pick it up now is the time. If you prepay shipping, I will pack it securely in a box and ship it anywhere. If no one claims, it’s going in the scrap metal bin tomorrow.

    I have a free non-working propane RV furnace that you could fix and make working. It’s only available through Christmas (getting scrapped after Christmas), and it’s in South San Jose. PM me if you’re interested.

    Smallest, most low profile AC for van to run off solar?

    This is the smallest window A/C unit I've found. https://www.homedepot.com/p/LG-Electronics-5-000-BTU-115-Volt-Window-Air-Conditioner-in-White-LW5016/206520593 For non-electronic A/C unit like this, you don't have to settle for a conventional installation. You could mount the whole unit...

    Smallest, most low profile AC for van to run off solar?

    TX2sturgis, I want to see this made too. A Minimum Viable Product would be a 1 / 2KW inverter generator with a self-contained mechanically driven A/C system (attach your flexible ducts and done), AC output with full-amperage 12v output(s). With the additive manufacturing revolution establishing...

    Found the dream rig: T-duck amphibious vehicle

    If it can't be made street legal in North America I'm not interested. Looks like a great toad for the duck though. Now that I'm all-in on Fastlane entreprenuership, I plan on getting the T-Duck for my platform. Goals aren't seperated by a number of years, they are seperated by a number of...

    Transportdwelling: Cheap RV Living Redefined

    Imagine pulling into a truck stop to fuel up and spend the night after a full travel day. It’s Friday and you’re looking forward to the weekend. You check your bank account balance to see how much money is now in the tank, and recalibrate your budget. You find your account has several hundred...

    Found the dream rig: T-duck amphibious vehicle

    Since I’m planning to overland too, over the same terrain as a earthcruiser, I’m going to need some kind of tank track system between the axles at the very least. Tracks are what enable many tanks to cross bogs. Not having tracks will limit the degree of overlanding in a DUKW.  Such track...

    mattress cooler?

    I bought this and let me tell you, I wish I had this years ago. I have the cooling pad underneath a 1” memory foam mattress topper, and sleep significantly better and easier now that I can remove body heat under the covers instantaneously. To increase heat transfer, I’m going to put this under...

    If you go without A/C, why do you?

    I love my A/C. Love not even breaking a sweat in the day. White Collar is where the fastlane wealth potential is. I realized I was the chump when I sat in a hot sleeper berth in a facility that prohibited idling while my DM and the Person who originated the load order sat in air conditioned...

    The Best Book on Money I've Found

    When I drove truck, I uncovered an poorly solved need. For Example: What if you're looking for a truckstop with bathtubs on I-70 between MP 0 & 399? Good luck finding it through existing sites & apps (I tried). Without going into further details, I am going to use my domain experience to solve...

    Two interesting cooling solutions

    DesertSun02! I follow him and love some of the concepts he built. Lenny Flank did an excellent write up on the math and physics involved with both water and ice cooling. The short answer is the amount of ice a $130 icemaker makes per day, you'll get spot cooling at best. Don't forget to keep...

    Waste Plastic: The Next Grease Party

    He builds a mini oil refinery at home to pyrolyze waste plastic into high-grade, low sulfur diesel & gasoline. It could be improved to use the byproducts (propane, butane gas) as energy to power the reaction, requiring no inputs other than waste plastics.  Please watch the full video series...

    Art museum comfort on wheels?

    This is going to be a long, detailed post.  I have been around the block with mobile dwelling climate control and have seen every kind of implementation.  An art museum needs to keep their environment within a very tight temperature band, and very tight humidity band at all times. If they're...
