A NEMA Enclosure works great for wires. About 25.00 - 40.00 on average. It protects them from moisture too. Here is ours. We installed the Fuse block inside and mounted the enclosure under the bed. All wires in wire loom outside of the enclosure.
While a bit larger then a CRV, here is a bed I built for a FJ Cruiser. About 72" bed length. Using a piano hinge to allow for a portion of the bed to extend when the passenger seat is moved forward thus increasing the available bed length. I used a large diameter (maybe 2" PVC) PVC pipe to...
I have a like new Honda EU1000i generator. It is very lightweight for a generator at about 28lbs. We carried with us in our FourWheel Camper on three campouts. The rest of the time, it was garaged with fuel stabilizer and started every other month. Since we have a new camper vehicle, we have...
Oh Ok now I understand. I know when I purchased vehicles through the bank or credit union, I still didn't make a payment till about 30 days after taking delivery of the vehicle. Usually a bank won't loan on a vehicle without a VIN unless your loan wasn't based on the vehicle itself.
I don't have anything to add that hasn't already been said. However, I worked in a Telecom/Data Center maintaining a string of 48 batteries tied together. Each battery was 2 volts and two strings of negative 48 volts. Charged 24 x 7 at 52-54 volts. I entered the battery room and found my...
I am confused. You have made the first loan payment and are about to make a second payment and you have not received the van yet? Can you explain as I have never bought a vehicle and made a loan payment without first seeing the vehicle and taking possession. A family member went looking for a...
Noticed you mentioned parking in a family members driveway? Can you grab power there? Having stealth solar for you doesn't sound like an issue if you are parking in the driveway. With a bit of solar you might be able to always keep your portable power station charged. What kind of vehicle...
I know that often they want you to have a fiber or cable connection for many of these jobs. Was just looking at some today. They said no cellular and they prefer a hardwired connection to PC. Hope you can find a position though that works for you. Starlink if it fits in the budget is an...
I agree with Tx2Sturgis and frater secessus on their comments. I run multiple EB70S like the author has. I have used flexible panels, rigid and folding. There are often very good reasons for not installing a rigid panel and a folding or portable panel works fine. The latest folding 200 watt...
Glad to see some others here sharing good info instead of only criticizing. Sounds like you have traveled a lot and I would imagine you have gained some good insight as to where is safe and where you may need to move on. I really don't believe having a motion light is going to help much if...
Hi,
If anyone is looking for an extension cable for their portable solar panels or need to extend power quickly inside their van or vehicle, we can make a custom length cable for you. Either MC4 cables, Anderson Powerpole Connector cables or a combination of ends. Message me if there is a...
Those former FBI vans are well constructed inside. We have a family member with a former government nuclear chase vehicle. I know that might sound really silly but after seeing this van, I believe it. It is built like a tank and had most of the proprietary electronics removed prior to...
Just another comment on the extended. I always park in regular parking spaces without any trouble. The difference in length between a regular and extended is 20". Just a bit longer then my computer keyboard. I don't notice the length when driving. If I was in downtown L.A. parking then yes...
