Ill ask him about those things I guess? On his web site he offered more things. On the inverter I read it as $350 for the inverter AND the install but ill double check.  What gage wire should it be?  I have a used 800 watt inverter. I don't know if it works yet. Also as highdesertranger...

I found this guy who does installs of Renogy systems. It looks like a pretty good deal to me but I think he's missing fuses in this quote .And of course you have to buy batteries separately. Is there anything that looks wrong with this ad? Anything I should ask him? Thanks y'all I know I've been...

Thank you everyone. Not knowing anything about panels I thought it would NOT be a good idea but I wanted to check with people in the know. THANK YOU

Found this ad on Craigslist. Its 295 watt panels for $75 .They are cracked but still at 80% capacity according to seller. Would you buy that? I don't know what size they are I'd have to ask. https://kansascity.craigslist.org/ele/d/295-watt-solar-panels-cracked/6714830698.html

Well I guess ill just have to get a whynter or dometic. Damn it. I just want some ice cold beers. Lol ah but life goes on. Thanks everyone for putting up with a bull headed old lady.

Thanks. Moxadox that is what I need to do! This conversation has given me a headache for 2 days now lol. Damn brain!

Please excuse me for being slow. I had a brain injury at work a few years ago and I just haven't been the same since. Ok so I need to find an energy star fridge of about 3-4 c.f. and hopefully find one with a compressor no its condenser on the back. Otherwise don't insulate it. I know to leave...

Here is a video of Jed from Into the Mystery showing what I was talking about. This couple has 200 watts but they use a relay system that ill have to check out to make it work. And here is Jay from a City Nomad talking about his fridge.

I will have a generator for an A/C unit and as general backup. So I have to keep my van at moderately cool temperatures say no higher than 80. I also plan to insulate the refrigerator and I can probably get away with a smaller unit. Jay on YouTube his channel is A City Nomad has a 3.2 unit run...

Blanch, I haven't lived on the road yet so I could only estimate my usage and I went high just to be safe. My main thing is I want an apt size fridge because I want a freezer section. But I don't know how to do the figures on how much solar that needs. John61CT I chose them because they are...

After watching Bob talk about how we can get a great deal on solar at that place in Arizona I thought that would be great but I can't get there and shipping would probably be really expensive. So I thought I'll try to get a quote from someone closer to me. I called Missouri Wind and Solar and...

Sorry you're having so much trouble but I came here to arm wrestle you over the name Serenity. Lol not really, but I have been planning to name my rig Serenity too. Best wishes on getting your adventure started.

Hey cool! We could meet if you like unless your an axe murderer. Or we could talk on the private message thing here.

This is one that always makes me smile from head to toe plus it's got Gene Kelly and Olivia Newton-John . [video=youtube] 

Thanks guys, you are right. My ultimate goal was the rolling workstation and I wanted a smaller project to get a feel for the new materials. Maybe I should make a sunoven for practice.

If you enjoy  building projects I've got one. I love to create things and would like any input you might have. I want, no need to create a bar stool height chair that is very light weight and portable. Why you ask? I am face painter and will need something for clients to sit on and I will need...

I'm in KC MO but I'm not a van dweller yet. I have to wait till my youngest has flown the coop, but I have been interested in this lifestyle for 5 years.

About the XPS foam cabinets, do you think we could use other kinds of foam? On my local Craigslist I found some polystyrene at a good price. Anybody play around with different foams?

This is phenomenal! I can't wait to see other builds. Should we create a thread just for everyone to post their builds out of foam? I am wondering how long you've had that set up Via Vacavi? Will it stand the test of time? Would the constant banging of cans and such break it down in a few...

It looks like Alaska has cool to mild summers so it seems like a good place to be in the summer, also I learned there are a lot of jobs there in tourist towns from Bob's YouTube videos. I don't like really hot weather unless I'm near a large body of water and have a frosty beer in hand lol. So...
