I am needing advice for mounting solar panel on my racks.  I have 3 of these Crosstread racks http://www.realtruck.com/cross-tread-van-racks/R181382P2006Y2658MA.html I have a Mazzfan vent installed in the far rear of my van and will put the panel just in front of that. 1.  Looking for ideas of...

 I may have found a good deal on a solar world panel.  It's 285 watts, open circuit voltage 39.7, max power point current 9.20 Can I get buy with the eco-worthy controller or is it just barely adequate? If not I am also looking at the Kid MidNite controller.  1. Does the whiz bang Jr. that...

Ok I am going to stick with my original panel 225 watts as the 300's are too long.  I really like the price of the Chinese  Eco Worthy controller. If I used that controller how would I monitor the batteries.  I have 2 diehard marine AGM's I think they are 68 amp hours each.  The Midnite...

Thanks to all for the additional info.  I will definitely be calling Sun Elec to see what they can offer and am also considering buying the MidNite controller. A SEEKER

I know a lady that bought one of those runaways and loves it.  She owns a large RV and hates everything required with its hookups when she gets to a park. A SEEKER

Ok almost got it.  I am going to look seriously at the Rogue.  Although you are saying 2 different controllers  can feed amps into 1 battery bank at the same time? I could get by cheaper for now with the Eco-w's for now and do something different later. A SEEKER

Ok, just to be clear I can only fit one panel on my van so if and when I get a 350 watt panel I would probably sale the 225 watt panel. What controller will work with either panel only 1 at a time? A SEEKER

Thanks for the replies.  I will pick up one of these panels next week. New question I want to one day get a larger panel like 350 watt if I am ever near somewhere I find a good price on one and do not have to pay shipping.  With that in mind should I pay more for a better controller up front...

I need advice if this is a decent solar panel to purchase.  It is a 225 watt Topoint Poly panel for $200.00.  I talked with the guy that sales them on ebay out of his garage I think. He has them in Ocala Florida if anyone is interested.  Here is the add . . ...

I do not know how many models of the club are current and for sale now. If you have this one even a kid can pick it in a few seconds as in this video. Even the harder one can be picked fairly quickly as in this video by wizwazzle but wiz can pick most locks. I get bored easy so it's one...

Just realized this is a step van. I not familiar with those floors at all. A SEEKER

I put down 1/2 inch polysio with 3/4 inch plywood on top that I screwed down with self tapping screws. You could probably use 1/2 inch or less plywood and would be a lot lighter but when anchoring bed frame and other items the 3/4 depth is very secure. I found a remnant of linoleum that is in...

Welcome Richard, guessing your customers called for bee hive or swarm removal. That would be a great way to get into the honey bee business. Get paid for removing the bees and gain another hive also. I have a couple hives I take care of that came from swarms. Good luck in your search for a...

I recently paid for a couple nights at Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park. I had stayed there years ago before they upgraded to full hookups at all the sites. At that time it was occupied by no more than a couple RV's and 2 or 3 tent campers and was a nice place. I pulled into my...

I buy groceries and ammo at Walmart. If you do not go very early or late it is a nightmare getting through the aisles and checking out. Hate shopping there but it is hard to beat their price on food. A SEEKER

Still laughing and can hardly type!!!

What I learned about Florida Agricultural Inspection Stations. My wife Jean and I stayed at several places over the last week. In our travels we were going by one of these inspection stations and the sign said something to the effect all trucks and specifically cargo vans must stop. I was...

I have the truck lite on my Chevy and absolutely love them. The jw speakers are maybe better but cost more. A SEEKER
