    Tesla's 10 kilowatt home battery

    I used to build my own computer systems from scratch, then the Apple II came along, non-specialists and people other than hobbyists could have small computers.  Much of the same applies here, the Tesla system brings a simple to use, low maintenance system down to the cost where many people can...

    Potential at a reasonable price

    Gary,  From the looks of the interior, I'd say it was more used for hauling crew and test equipment around the flight line, seems to have test equipment mountings and not many seats. Corky

    Potential at a reasonable price

    Vin is in the ad.  1FDKE30M5RHA93381 In talking to the owner, the reason for the mileage is that it was a test and support van at an airport for a major aircraft company that came out in a lot of surplus equipment, so it's reasonable and would appear to have had maintenance on a regular basis. ...

    Potential at a reasonable price

    I just got off the phone with the guy in the ad, seems real enough.  Told that it came out of a surplus deal, one of the aircraft companies, that fits with the looks of the yard and and background. Seems like and up and up deal to me. I put it up to share and I my also be interested if it's...

    Potential at a reasonable price

    http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/ctd/4983219641.html Reasonable miles, nice size with a short rear overhang. Air vent windows on the top of all the side window. Not sure what the engine is. What V8 diesel was used back then and what transmission is likely?  Corky

    Even If I had the Money, I'd prefer a Van over an Expensive RV

    Steve, The unsaid is where the questions are, how mechanically inclined are you and how handy are you?  The layout isn't to bad if there are only two of you and you can repair and maintain the systems.  If you are seriously interested a couple of days of driveway camping would be in order...

    Even If I had the Money, I'd prefer a Van over an Expensive RV

    Almost There, I agree with your point about the design of most RV's, made for families to live out of , not for single people to live in. I stripped the interior of my rig back to the skin, including wiring, plumbing, and water system, and rebuilt to what I wanted.  I bought the rig because of...

    Shower options

    I actually found the Oxygenics Showerhead a quick fix for the only problem I've had with my Camp Chef water heater, even on the lowest setting the water is quite warm, nice for dishes, but on the warm side for hot weather showers.  When I switched to the Oxygenics I could switch to about a...

    Two weeks in the ambo!

    Will you continue in Guard after you hit the road?  How do you figure to handle drilling status if you do stay in? Corky

    Wind Resistance and Weight

    Which is more important wind resistance or weight in terms of gas mileage? I know wind resistance goes up with speed, but I find little comparing weight changes to fuel mileage. I'm looking at ways to add  living area, both internal and external, and the weight part of the equation has me...

    I'm going to try to go look at this one

    To bad the add was pulled, pictures were good.  I mainly posted the link for people to see the design and concept. I liked the usable bed even when pop top was down, kind of a travel mode/stay mode. Corky

    I'm going to try to go look at this one

    Technomania or ??

    I highly recommend Verizon, but with the right cell phone you only need one device for both phone and data.  I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 and it does both phone and net at the same time, saves some money and it's not hard to use. Bob's Sleek is a VERY good idea as is the directional antenna...

    Length,Width, and Open Space

    After over a year in my current vehicle I've learned much about my wants and needs. Current vehicle is a Trans Van 26.5 ft long, 8 ft wide, with 7.5 ft from floor to roof. I find the length is more than I need, and really want, maybe 22 ft or less would work as well or even better. The wide...

    Good places in San Diego

    I lived in San Diego for many years and I'm back there right now, renting space on a ranch out in east county. Don't miss the Zoo and Balboa Park while you're there. Corky

    Really Nice Van Conversion

    http://sandiego.craigslist.org/ssd/rvs/4965211138.html I saw this on CL, worth looking at the pics and reading the write-up.  Price seems high, but then who knows. Corky
