    Sportsman 800w on sale again

    Like ZZZ typed, explain to me slow. With something this small I could use it and another device to charge my batteries if solar wasn't doing it ? That would keep me from having to run the big generator. Rob

    Death of a close friend, how to deal with it?

    After doing some personal grieving when someone close passes away, start to think about the good times you had together. Favorite dinners, or shared memories. If she could tell you I would bet she wouldn't want you to hurt so bad. Keep a picture and the memories. Rob

    Question for CDL Truck Drivers Re: DOT physical

    In many cases it will be the employer who will not hire a 'Bad Back'. Too many workmans comp claims and truck drivers are prone to suffer from Bad Backs. I worked for awhile as a claim investigator and many drivers were filing false or exaggerated claims. That makes it hard for others. Good...

    Jewellann, I thought you were about finished, just relaxing and having a bon-bon or two? Seriously, do you have a date to be finished? Rob

    Armed Forces Retirement Home

    I read the menus and checked out the rooms,actually apartments. Very nice from what I could see. I sent a few questions via their form, I may call tomorrow. It sounds good, I didn't read about pets, I didn't think of it. I had a couple of other questions but it looks decent. Rob

    MPPT and Setting Them Up.

    Stunt driving was the easiest way to explain the damage done to trailer. Sounds better than did a 360 in the middle of I-10 in sunny California. Actually a 180, I finished the rest when I got my truck restarted. I'll get all this figured out, I've got good people helping out. Thanks Popeye Rob

    MPPT and Setting Them Up.

    How long I stay out is sort of up in the air. Nothing like a nice definitive answer right? I am tied to the VA for my medications and occasional exams to renew my prescriptions. Mostly boondocking, weather plays no part in it. Well, tornadoes do but they are the exception. There are a lot of...

    MPPT and Setting Them Up.

    Ft Worth. No, not nearly all that, the biggest thing would be a satellite system for the days my meds keep me inside. Be able to recharge the normal things like a phone, laptop etc. Nothing major. Also to keep the batteries charged at or near full charge. I am lead to believe if not charged...

    MPPT and Setting Them Up.

    I am trying to avoid running my generator more than needed for my health's sake ( My body doesn't do heat well). My thoughts, and this is where I usually get in trouble) was to get a high output panel or panels so the batteries can get a full charge. I've got a month or so to figure out how to...

    MPPT and Setting Them Up.

    I am not even a novice with this solar stuff, JiminDenver and some of the other people on here who are experts at this have been guiding me, or at least trying. I don't need anything fancy, all I have is two Golf Cart batteries and will have a generator. I have a small 18' trailer and no need...

    MPPT and Setting Them Up.

    The Morningstar is more workable if I can get more than one panel up there or can figure out how to mount two panels. Not a huge difference in price and by the time all the dust settles, what difference does a hundred or two make? I've found a couple of poly panels rated at 260 watts for about...

    If I was a Man it might not matter/ Safety Issue

    My youngest daughter has used my (hers now) truck camper for several years while doing her undergraduate work at Rice in Houston and now she uses it in the Dallas area while continuing her schooling. She's never had an issue, or at least none she told me about. Hers is an Outfitter Apex 8 and...
