Gus, I think the thing that should be mentioned is that it isn't all small electronics that are sensitive. Probably there is a pretty high percentage that are fine with MSW. There are definitely quite a few that are not though. I have had laptops in the past that were a bit flakey on MSW. The...

Excellent pics Bri! Love the clever hammock hanging! Both the R100GS and the XR650L are setup really nice! That definitely would be a fun way to go! &nbsp;<div><br></div>

Wait, you mean you just ride it and it goes??? Dude, thats just sick! What about the joys of greasy hands and personal injury?&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>You would be pretty surprised how many ways I can pronounce such a simple word! But then, maybe ya wouldn't <img...

Excellent! Yeah, the backrests make it nice. Even the Sporty's corbin had a pretty nice little slip in backrest. Combined with that bikes excessive vibration,(yeah I said it) you could get a pretty decent back massage! LOL!&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>Sorry, bout the confusion. You know me, I...

Hey Bri, I couldn't find a better place to put this and didn't want to take over your Panama thread so....<div><br></div><div>How bout a thread for pictures of various scoots setup to camp or during such a trip?..&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Yes, the old Super Glide did make it out on the...

That sounds like a wonderful adventure Bri! Fun to read about but like Bob, I would rather be there too! Even if I had to ride a honduh <img border="0" align="absmiddle" src="https://vanlivingforum.com/images/boards/smilies/eek.gif">&nbsp;Hey, I am with you on the Corbins too, great seats! I had...

Not sure how strong they would be, but you could always use multiple layers of leftover election signs <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> There are tons of them around. Can't beat the price and I believe they are a fluted plastic type design that can be...

Taj, up in Grand Marais, MN summer before last. She was a bit dusty from playing around on the gravel backroads, but I love the view of Lake Superior in the background.&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>I somehow have managed never to get overall interior pics, just specific areas after each was...

<div><br></div><div>You absolutely should install a fuse for the reasons 4x4 mentioned. &nbsp;I have a 150 Amp inline breaker I installed as close as I could to the positive cable of the battery. Consider that if anything between the inverter and the battery penetrated the cable and was in any...

I see. We are actually saying something different then. There are just some reputations that are worth heeding. &nbsp;The Dodge example was just one of many and one of the less significant ones. There were design issues that caused the handling problems with those years and yes, they can be...

<div><br></div><div>I agree with one small variation. Some vans have well known/established issues that are worth noting and with the number of options on the market, well worth avoiding. For example, my favorite brand (Dodge) has common issues with handling/suspension in a specific age range...

<div><br></div><div>It may be more efficient than it appears though. Usually we have more time than battery and a smaller microwave with a lower draw might take longer, but it may have less of an impact on the battery even over the longer period of time. There is an often overlooked...

</div><div><br></div><div>Give it a couple years, those images are not real-time, rather updated over time.</div><div><br></div><div>I agree with Mangy on the Berky too, they are excellent! &nbsp;</div>

A few things to remember when looking for strong anchor points. Flat sheet metal is far weaker than sheet metal that has been formed, so consider areas near the door sills, roof corners etc to be more sturdy. When you secure something like an eye bolt in sheet metal and expect it to hold weight...
