for those considering the "all in one" deals. be warned and extra cautious there have been several reports that some of the "kits" are mis represented and are just an add on that does not include the heater. make sure you read the fine print that the actual heater unit is included
also, with...
as broke van dwelles trying to live in 20(+) year old rigs one of the best things i can recommend is going back to school. this is a DIY life, most of us can not afford to pay someone for every little thing. we need to become self sufficient and learn how to care for our rigs and equipment...
making accusations claiming the use of these heaters is some how any more dangerous than a buddy heater is pretty irresponsible and unsupported. these units have been demonstrated time and time again to burn damn clean when set up according to the instructions. also, these units direct the...
i find that hard to believe, certainly not in any application i have been around
for example, 2015 vw jetta. same car gas vs diesel

if you look at the 2 liter gas vs the 2 liter diesel both with 6 speed manual i see maybe a...
some NAPA and car quests also loan tools.
most of the main stream parts stores that offer a tool loan program seam to offer lots of specialty tool you might only need on occasion. not sure what they offer as far as basic wrench or socket sets, never had the need. but the loan program has...
almost all forced air furnaces go through a start up/shut down series of events. has nothing to do with the ability of operating on a thermostat.
thanks for the link
never said non vented heaters couldnt have thermostatic controls
as far as the wave 3 vs a parking heater. keep in mind the...
if you disconnect at night you could even disconnect the MC4s and there would be no issue. once disconnected so the circuit is no longer complete there can be no flow of current. the panels are not receiving a charge, they if in the sun will produce max volts but there will be no current flow...
are you asking if diesel is worth it or if sprinters are worth it. 2 very different things
if we are just talking diesel
there are plusses and minuses on both. you have to look at how you plan to use it and what you expect. then you need to study up on the pros and cons before deciding what is...
if it had a thermostat to reduce to the lowest setting there is no reason it could not just shut off. that does not make sense?
yes, there are a couple vented propane heaters out there that do have thermostatic control
the wave 3 is not even comparable to the parking heaters. one is vented...
ya, most controllers do not like being disconnected while there is power coming in. most controller specifically state to disconnect solar input first, and hook up last
not only do people need to pay attention to the "conversion" parts, but general maintenance and basic road ready safety. a bad wheel bearing or dragging break can cause a fire. continuing to drive with one tire on a dual wheel very low or flat, that tire can get hot enough to ignite. changing...
i think there are way too many variables to consider to just out of hand dismiss a rig because of the number of miles
too much depends on how well the rig was cared for and if big milestone problems have been handled like engines or transmissions
it also depends greatly on the specific make...
wow, smuggling a gun into a foreign country that has draconian laws against foreigners with guns just to save some on meds? just wow. i am glad it didnt come back to bite you in the butt.
i am curious, with how bad it was then (pre 200). how many times did you have to use your gun to protect...
