Bob, what kind of polyiso? Home Depot has 3 different kinds and widths? Or does it make a difference?

Thanks Stern, you said it all regarding ice chest vs fridge/freezer. I did the cooler thing last summer because the built-in Dometic HM series 3 way is useless in high heat and barely passable in normal weather. I'm in my 3rd day with the Whynter 65 quart dual zone and love it. But I'm...

Yeah, I'm replacing both rear tires with the same ones I replaced the front ones with a month ago. I do feel very fortunate that it happened while parked. It could have been a disaster. I just have never heard of a tire bursting while parked. And it's been parked for two weeks. I only take it...

Last night while inside my van, I heard and felt a huge explosion and when I went outside I saw that my rear tire was just all blown apart. At first I thought someone shot a bullet in or jabbed a knife or something in it, but most of the blow out was in the tread area with some near the outer...

Hi guys, just wanted to say thanks to Forest at the January RTR in Quartzsite. He was that great looking young man with the big smile who put on the seminar on how to plug up a flat tire and also recommended the MV50 air compressor. Well, I had a flat tire yesterday on the freeway and had used...

<p>When I first took it to Camping World they told me that the converter was defective and that was the reason I was having electrical problems ( at the time), so I took it to my auto mechanic and he had his electrician check and he fixed all the problems, everything works off the house battery...

Also, cyg, if the Iota acts as a converter as well, would that interfere with the old 15 amp converter that came with the van (it doesn't have charging capability)?

The blender is 1440 watts. I'd love to go down to even a 1500 watt inverter but I'd be right on the edge with the blender. The only other high wattage things I'd be using would be a microwave, I just ordered a 600 watt micro from Walmart, and maybe a coffeemaker, although I also just bought and...

I bought a Honda 2000 watt generator last week, have used it on my high-powered juicing and blending machines and so far it has been a god-send to me. It is a marvelous machine. As long as I don't push too hard on the produce it works flawlessly. I bought it for about $935 at Camping World after...

I went to Costco to check out the golf cart batteries but they are the lead acid kind that have those refillable caps, and I want the sealed lead acid AGM kind, even though they are a lot more expensive, because&nbsp;I just don't want to bother with venting or maintaining them. Also, that link...

Yeah, my delay would more like a few weeks at most. I'm delaying the others because not I'm sure yet what my total solar panel wattage will be. It may be the 215 you and I talked about or 240 or more depending on what the installer thinks he can get up there. Or should the wattage even matter...

<p>I'm almost at the ordering stage for my solar panels system and will be putting in AGM batteries in a series of 2-3, maybe 4 batteries. But I want to get 1 now while I am waiting to decide about the entire setup because my present Kirkland lead acid battery,&nbsp;that came with the van that I...

Sorry, it kept saying error. I'll read the reply.

cygvan<br>I tried sending you a PM but I keep getting an error message, so I posted it here instead:<br><p>I appreciated your post on my thread a few days ago regarding my solar panel setup and I've put a lot of thought into it. I wanted to ask, I called Arizona Wind and Sun and after telling...

<p>After reading all the details I think Randy's right, I think I can fit the 4 together on my class B. I'll add windturbine to my list of companies to look into.</p>

I'm online now for the first time on Clear mobile&nbsp;wifi inside my van. I disconnected my cable at my apartment and now I can disconnect my cable internet access. I have to be out of my apartment by the end of August so I'm almost free. I feel like starting some type of blog or something...

We are in the talking stage right now. No generator. He gave me the option of buying some used stuff of his for $1800 which included two 200 watt 24 volt panels, 4 12v 80 amp batteries&nbsp;and a pure sine inverter (6000 watts!) which he said that that alone is worth more than the $1800. But he...

Found a guy on craigslist who advertises his services installing rv solar. He said he could do my van for around $2000-$2200 including parts and labor.

cygvan, how would I go about finding someone to install? My only hope was my brother in Nevada who does a lot of tinkering with his RV but just told me he won't mess with solar. I would like to find a shop that does a lot of solar or specializes in it. I can't find anything online other than...
