    Bargain Inverter

    Gus, I think the thing that should be mentioned is that it isn't all small electronics that are sensitive. Probably there is a pretty high percentage that are fine with MSW. There are definitely quite a few that are not though. I have had laptops in the past that were a bit flakey on MSW. The...

    Bri and Kit in Panama...

    Excellent! Yeah, the backrests make it nice. Even the Sporty's corbin had a pretty nice little slip in backrest. Combined with that bikes excessive vibration,(yeah I said it) you could get a pretty decent back massage! LOL!&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>Sorry, bout the confusion. You know me, I...

    What material for storage?

    Not sure how strong they would be, but you could always use multiple layers of leftover election signs <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> There are tons of them around. Can't beat the price and I believe they are a fluted plastic type design that can be...

    Pictures of your van thread

    Taj, up in Grand Marais, MN summer before last. She was a bit dusty from playing around on the gravel backroads, but I love the view of Lake Superior in the background.&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>I somehow have managed never to get overall interior pics, just specific areas after each was...

    Does connection between batteries and inverter require a fuse?

    <div><br></div><div>You absolutely should install a fuse for the reasons 4x4 mentioned. &nbsp;I have a 150 Amp inline breaker I installed as close as I could to the positive cable of the battery. Consider that if anything between the inverter and the battery penetrated the cable and was in any...

    question about vans?

    I see. We are actually saying something different then. There are just some reputations that are worth heeding. &nbsp;The Dodge example was just one of many and one of the less significant ones. There were design issues that caused the handling problems with those years and yes, they can be...

    question about vans?

    <div><br></div><div>I agree with one small variation. Some vans have well known/established issues that are worth noting and with the number of options on the market, well worth avoiding. For example, my favorite brand (Dodge) has common issues with handling/suspension in a specific age range...

    Smallest Microwave

    <div><br></div><div>It may be more efficient than it appears though. Usually we have more time than battery and a smaller microwave with a lower draw might take longer, but it may have less of an impact on the battery even over the longer period of time. There is an often overlooked...

    Hanging a hammock in a van

    A few things to remember when looking for strong anchor points. Flat sheet metal is far weaker than sheet metal that has been formed, so consider areas near the door sills, roof corners etc to be more sturdy. When you secure something like an eye bolt in sheet metal and expect it to hold weight...

    illness

    Overall, I doubt my experience applies much to everyone else since it is genetic (CF), but the more serious one-time incident that happened at the slabs a few years back did teach me something about avoiding future issues. Other than obvious things like forest fires, I never did any preliminary...

    How much would you offer for this van?

    By funk I meant smell of course and it was pretty serious even after the dealer's lame attempt at a detail job. Original owner was a smoker and that little dog he had was probably in the van it's entire life. On a car or pickup, I wouldn't have bothered but with a good platform class B, it was...
