Good choice. Check out Blue Sea Systems web site they have the chart for the gauge wire you will need when you measure the length of your run and the current draw for the inverter and panel. They have really nice panels and hardware, fuses, lugs, all sorts of stuff. Great tech support. Good luck...

Square wave inverters are really bad for electronics, motors and compressors will run hot. A square wave is missing the top and bottom third of a sine wave. A sine wave is what you get from an outlet in your house. A 60hz sine wave. The note is so low you can’t hear it, maybe your dog can but...

Check out Don Rowe Inverters. Great tech/sales line. They also make cables you will need depending what size you get. I have a Kisae 2K PSW for over ten years with no issues. I think they sell them at Home Depot also. IMO Magnum probably makes the best but$$$$. I have also had 2-3 Xanterx...

Thanks. I don’t think it would either. Had a Honda 1000, wouldn’t run it now I run a Yamaha 2000 gen/inverter and it pushes that pretty hard, once it’s running it’s ok. It is the initial startup. If I run the air I don’t run anything else including my battery charger which is a pain. We usually...

I mounted a Samsung 5500BTU in my driver side rear window. Dissembled the unit and replaced all the screws with stainless and thru bolted where possible instead of the stock sheet metal screws. Thru bolted a 1”x1” piece of steel angle across the bottom of the ACs frame. This how I mounted it to...

Everyone of my previous Chevy vans with 350s all went well over 300k. Rust was the major issues in earlier models. My 1st one, 78 G20 made to order from Chevy, $4700!

Wow! That’s really good for an Express. What size engine? Mine is a 2000 w/ a 350ci. Depends on load and terrain but I’m around 16-17. I specifically bought it in my search for a hi top with a 350. It was the last year. Seems everything I ever owned had a 350, our boat had 2! Talk about a gas...

There is no boondocking in that area. It is all private property. Ian trashed the whole SW Coast. There are no campgrounds, State Parks in that area open. Thousands of people have been displaced, their homes completely destroyed. If you don’t live there I suggest staying away. Anything along the...

We are pretty active for hitting the 70’s. One wrong step is all it takes. We decided to get emergency extraction insurance thru Global Rescue. Basically they come and get you anywhere then transport you to the hospital of your choice. It wasn’t cheap but a lot cheaper than the cost of a...

Our first trip to Co. we were thinking of names along the way. We were in Ridgway where they filmed the hanging scene in the movie True Grit. I was standing on the steps where John Wayne comes out of his office and was clowning around talking like him. Our Van was parked right there, I looked...

The new Honda Trail 125 looks really nice, considering selling my Zuma to get one but they are over $4k and a waiting list where we are.

We use GAIA for our travel and exploring. Over 100 mapping sources.

This is the Boat and Crew that found over $6 million a couple years ago. I read an article where there was a tight shot of a pix of their location and it showed a few roofs of the condos on the Coast. I got on Google Earth and started at Ft. Pierce inlet and worked North untill I found the roofs...

We used to have a 50cc Zuma but it was too dangerous because it couldn’t keep up with traffic. Upgraded to a 125cc.. no issues now. Great for running errands and exploring back roads. We have VersaHaul carrier which also allows me to trailer our skiff as an option. Depends on where we are going...

We have these little critters called No-see-ums. So small they can fly thru regular screen. They will give you a whole new outlook on life. We do not camp in the forests in summer because of the heat, usually 100+ and ticks are everywhere. Gators in every freshwater lake and pond so forget about...

LOL, that’s the same reasoning I gave my Wife for me buying one. Only around $800 to go until I recoup my money, probably around 50 years. Seriously…..lots of fun, great hobby, especially living in Fl. a few hours drive to the Gold Coast. Check before you use it, illegal in lots of places.

All 3M Adhesives are top quality. I have used 99 on putting tolex on guitar speaker cabinets and headliners in several vehicles with no issues, just spray on each piece and stick together. 5200 is another great product but just make sure you have it where you want it there is no moving it after...

They also have POTA, Parks On The Air. It’s free. HF setups in State, National, International Parks. Cool to listen and chat with campers from all over. 2M is becoming really popular with the 4x4 Overlanding Crew. We monitor 146.520 and 146.460 simplex while traveling and camping. 2 HTs for...
