    How stealthy can a Class B be?

    I have a 2000 ClassB and don’t worry too much about it appearing stealth. It’s a normal width, not a wide body, but has all the normal Roadtrek graphics and markings. I just park where it would be normal to see other cars, vans, or trucks, and make it appear from the outside as if no one is...

    Class B Rv Van

    I’m wrestling with that myself in my Class B. I keep looking at it trying to figure out what to do to it to fit me better, have it be a bit more customized so its not like all the others. But I keep seeing that its perfectly functional as it is, flow works great, and wonder what problem I am...

    To stand or not to stand

    There are those that hitchhike with a backpack/tent and have no need for a van at all, be it a stand up or a hunch over. There are those that can’t do without a 56” TV, sofa, and triple slides and its a definite need for them. So yea, people can live in a standard height van, or a solo tent...

    Radio Controlled Aircraft

    Nice beaver. Yes, they can get big, but they sure do fly so much better they are worth the hassle. That Beaver looks like a Hangar 9, yes? I put floats on my Hangar 9 Valiant. Really a sweet flying airplane. I love flying off water, especially when you do it off a boat  :) [/URL]

    Radio Controlled Aircraft

    I am deep into RC as well. However, it doesn't pack up and travel well in a small van :( I started small, but as things happen, they got bigger and bigger and bigger. Then I got into large Jets with real turbine engines. Gave it all up for 5 or so years as I got burned out after traveling every...

    Best use of digital ammeter?

    I never calibrated mine as I honestly don't care what the numbers are. Only real concern is that it gives me a better picture of where I am in the battery capacity scale over the typical 4 Green, Yellow, Red leds on most cheap monitors that only measure the voltage. Instead of watt hour...

    Part timer, hopefully much more in the near future

    Short intro… live the northeast, traditional home, but travel extensively in a Class B. Hope to full time in the very near future at best, 1/2 time at worst. Have owned everything from a single person backpack tent to a 36' Class A. Love the cozy confines of a small RV for travel, and the Class...

    To stand or not to stand

    Being able to stand up is critical for me. One way to determine this for each individual, is to create a space where they need to sit or hunch over in their current living space, and use that for dressing in the morning, cleaning themselves, and other daily tasks they would do in the van. Do...

    Best use of digital ammeter?

    I have the same meter. Mine is hooked up to a shunt at the battery bank itself, so it measures all loads on the battery, regardless if its from the 12V or inverter sections. Basically, it will monitor what is pulled out of the battery until you reset it, the current load (12v, 120V, or both if...
