    Is there a huge battery that could last for a week with AC?

    There's a youtube channel where the owner of a sailing catamaran talks about how they used the battery bank from some sort of wrecked EV or hybrid as the house bank on their boat. Trying to remember the details... I'm not sure how much room you would have on the RV to install a large...

    FINDING YOUR TRIBE/CARAVAN

    There are two ways to go through life. The first is being terrified of being at the wrong place at the wrong time. The second is ensuring that you as an individual have the necessary tools, training, and discipline to never find yourself in that situation.

    Health Care Needs

    I appreciate the replies.  I won't be personally eligible for Medicare for a long time. Medical practice is very heavily regulated; anyone who sees Medicare or Medicaid patients falls under the regulatory authority of CMS.  I don't think that this sort of endeavor would be compatible with...

    Corrugated Aluminium vs Fiberglass RV

    I keep hearing that, but the number of them (not molded, the sandwich construction types) that have obvious delamination in their listing pictures when I look at the classifieds is a little discouraging.  As are the almost universal comments that Dutchmen, Forest River, Keystone, and Jayco are...

    Corrugated Aluminium vs Fiberglass RV

    I'm pretty new to this but will be full timing it in an RV starting in May.  The good news is I have the campsite set (full services), just don't have the RV yet.  I've dealt with the gelcoat/fiberglass delamination issue before on boats and am more than a little skeptical of that construction...
