Speaking of road taxed diesel. Can't you file and recovery the road tax?

Stirring the pot here. As a lifelong farmer and petroleum business manager in my previous life. Here a a few points... 1.Diesel fuel gels in cold weather so be sure to get it as winterized formula. This is a blend of kerosene and diesel. How does the diesel heater run off this blend? 2...

Thanx for the real life info.

Now that's what I call incredible info!!! Thanx a bunch!!

Wow how much solar do you get when vertical

I was hoping for a reply from someone that did it. Thanks for the info so far.

Hello I am back from the grave so to speak. Lost another leg in Az last year. Getting over that. So my question is... I am unable to get on the roof of my motorhome to put more panels up there. So I was thinking about mounting light weight flexible solar panels on the vertical sides? They would...

Wonder about vertical on side of van?

So I know Jimindenver has a constant on inverter and runs 110 volt all the time. In my remodel of my electrical system I will be running a 12 volt refrigerator constantly off my inverter. Actually all the 110 volt wiring will be live with cutoff switches to anything plugged in to prevent phantom...

Beware, modified sine wave inverters eat battery chargers!
