    Hydrogen Fuel Cell

    I wrote an awesome reply last night and it wouldn't let me post it :( The gist of it was that anything over 3-4 volts will make into hydrogen so when their isn't enough sun for solar panels to charge batteries you could still be making hydrogen.. You could make hydrogen at night with your solar...

    Hydrogen Fuel Cell

    I know how to make the hydrogen, but how do I make the hydrogen make electricity? How can I DIY make a hydrogen fuel cell to turn my hydrogen into +12V? That is the intel I am after.. From what I have seen so far it looks like a hydrogen fuel cell just looks to be the same concept as the...

    Changing my ways, from VAN to TT!

    https://www.rvtrader.com/dealers/Lakeside-RV-819390/listing/1988-Holiday-Rambler-26-FL-121151344 $4k Holiday Rambler Alumalite.. Think a 26' aluminum skin/aluminum structure would weigh about the same as an 18-20 fiberglass trailer? IDK, maybe too big.. Something like that is what I'd want...

    Desktop computer in a van???

    You could build a desktop into a cabinet in your rig instead of using a PC case.. Screw the mobo to the ceiling inside a cupboard with a hole in the side for the ports and mount your disk drive like a car setereo.. :)

    Shotgun in a Van?

    Bad dude is going to be just as def and blind as you and likely a lot more dead.. Source? Good thing you weren't sleeping in there..

    Any thoughts on this van?

    IDK what these vans are usually worth but almost $6k for >200k miles seems a bit high though I was looking into maybe buying a Lincoln Navigator recently and I came across a lot of Ford guys wishing for that V10.. If it was an F350 truck in that shape with those miles it would probably be a...

    What happened to Coleman stoves?

    Mine is like this.. Their are some on ebay for like $65 but I got mine at a garage sale or goodwill or something like that for like $10.. Mine has a bit of surface rust and I think it's like off white/yellowish and can't remember if it is 2 or 3 burner.. I like old stuff like that so I can't...

    My rig..

    Thanks :) Quite similar actually, same built in blender (mine missing), same leveling jacks.. BTW, you wouldn't believe some of the things I found in this MH, unmentionable in such polite company.. Thanks to everyone else for the nice replies too..

    Desktop computer in a van???

    Very interesting.. In that case I would NOT recommend an HP stream as you cannot take the battery out of it simply.. I only know enough about this stuff to get myself in trouble :)

    Desktop computer in a van???

    I don't really agree that a desktop burns more electricity than a laptop.. For instance, I'm sure my alienware laptop burns more electicity at full tilt than my little brothers dual core desktop at full tilt, it really depends on how you are running it and how hard you are working it.. When...

    My rig..

    This is what I have to work with for a shower... I'm pretty stumped here.. I know I basically need to build a false floor over the drain plumbing, but then what? How do I build a shower base? It is a strange shape with that 1 angled wall, and curved rear wall, so their really isn't...

    My rig..

    I took a hammer and beat the floor in here on all the soft spots... Washing machine area.. Then I cut it out the best I could to make its edges land on the steel underfloor, it's like 2" square steel tubing under there.. Put in some blocks of wood where it wouldn't land.. Then I made a...

    How to Survive on a $30 2-Week Grocery Budget

    I hear rattlesnake is really good eating.. Then, if you skin it correctly, head, rattle, you might be able to sell it on CL for more food budget?? And what about food pantries? Around here, if you want, their are many places you can go once a week to get a nice big box full of food..

    Custom Gull Wing Windows on a Cargo Van

    I'd check local junkyards for a replacement door that included a window first. Maybe just grab all the factory parts to install the window in your door?
