I was able to use a Sternwake design for my van power system. I kept my battery bank charged by driving until I could afford solar panels. This information is all in the archives of this website. Now we have 600 AH of lithium batteries and about 1,200 watts on the roof. Except for running the...

When I was young I thought about retiring to Florida. Then I found out it was like LA with really angry weather. I had my first replacement surgery about 21 years ago. Retirement is kinda like still being employed but with a lot more honeydews.

I would suggest cats, but sometimes my masters bring home the critters to let lose in the house. Playmates.

A seat belt pivot point is the perfect thing to clip onto. A carabiner clip is a relatively inexpensive item. I have a net in the toolbox on the trailer. It can secure a load in about two minutes. Tomorrow a trip to the dump. Once it is loaded I just toss the net, clip it and pull it tight.

Until they bite you. They are one of the sharper tools in the shed.

Any update on this?
