Actually blars, all of my LED's here are run in sets of three with a current-limiting resistor.  Well, I have some that are run from a constant current voltage regulator circuit I made.  But it doesn't matter how you state it, the recommended current through most common LED's is 15ma...

The spray bottle is a great idea, thanks!<div>One of my favorite ways to cook is with my $1 cast iron skillet, Wagner <img src="/images/boards/smilies/wink.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"></div><div>I can remember as a young child, my grandmother (who I lived with) and I discussing about...

Now that is cool Cyndi.<div>Not to disappoint Dragonflyinthesky, I thought I would show a picture of my spice cabinet:</div><div><img src="http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x469/yuyuyak/spicecabinet.jpg"></div><div><br></div><div>I got the idea from a Cheech &amp; Chong movie.</div>

Although not mobile, this is an interesting concept house built at the University of Hertfordshire. &nbsp;3x3x3 meters, super green. &nbsp;The SIXTEEN solar panels might be a bit much...but hey, if you move there, they'll give you 1000 pounds per year because you are so green. &nbsp;That could...

For about $5 you can get a handful of simple button thermostats on ebay. &nbsp;Then fan doesn't come on until heater is warmed up. &nbsp;I use one of these for a fan up in my fridge chimney, works great.<div>I plan to use the same fan I use up there for the heater too. &nbsp;It's a computer fan...

Hi Seraphim. &nbsp;Ditto on the introvert thing. &nbsp;No, she's a class A. &nbsp;And in fact, I know another fellow in town that has a 16 or 18' class A. &nbsp;Have seen 16' models too. &nbsp;Anyhow, she's a Winnebago Brave 20'.

Actually, I was speaking of Bob's description of his stealth trailer. &nbsp;But it's the same idea, he just uses ladder racks rather than a "roof rack" to give it that "work vehicle" look&nbsp;<img border="0" align="absmiddle"...

1 led uses .18 watts at 12v (give or take, depending on the circuitry). &nbsp;Except for the new high-power fancy ones, they should all be run at 15-18ma, the lower you run them the longer they last, but you of course get less &amp; less light too. &nbsp;You can commonly find 5-6 led models that...

Living in a 1971 Winnie here. &nbsp;Great advice from the others. &nbsp;More than rotting rubber there is also rotting plastic, rotting caulk, rotting sealing everywhere, heck, it's all rotten. &nbsp;It's been around for forty years! &nbsp;If it's soft or sensitive to UV, it MUST be replaced...

Welcome Amos!<div>Like many of the others, love the pics &amp; especially the kitchen.</div><div>After seeing Bob's too cool setup &amp; yours, I am a bit envious.</div><div>And of course, as an old, ex-trout fisherman (similar feelings about it as Thoreau) I am also envious of your job...

Yes, sorry, I know how that goes also. &nbsp;<div>But Texas! &nbsp;Spent a few days in Electra, typical dying town. &nbsp;Are y'all really goin' to secede from the Union?<div>How y'all doin'? (is that a mantra or something?)</div><div>Just funin' ya a little. &nbsp;After all, we hire low I.Q...

<div>Very impressive information on their web site. &nbsp;Will have to check into that.</div>Unfortunately, I know nothing of it, however I do have information on another commonly recommended method. &nbsp;Kool Seal white paint is recommended all over the web, "will drop your interior...

Can't speak about the Buddie, but I have the Olympian Wave 6, it's bigger cousin. &nbsp;Works absolutely fantastic for me. &nbsp;A note to those about them being too hot even on low, mine is too&nbsp;<img border="0" align="absmiddle"...
