    shopping for induction cooktop

    Thank you, very helpful geogentry. Was the cracking due to weight of the pan and /or hitting the glass top during use? Or something else.

    Taking the plunge. Van purchase done!

    That is good info. We were originally looking for a high top so knowing the cons is helpful. How are your tires and suspension? Do you have a good heavy duty setup? I am wondering if that would help at all. I saw a high-top swap and they used some kind of oscillating cutter. They said it was...

    Battery 'Stress' Reliever?

    Google "hard start kit" some companies selll them (Dometic maybe?) for their appliances, air conditioning units, etc. It's just a capacitor. You could put one online for any high start up amp device if you wanted. But yes there are some safety considerations.

    Completely unlimited & unthrottled mobile data

    I found this mentioned on Reddit in the Skoolie forum. No idea how good they are or anything because I've never used it.  It's called "unlimited to go" and basically you choose which network you want. Their plan "colors" line up with the major cell carrier colors.  Anyone used them? For high...

    shopping for induction cooktop

    I guess what I'm struggling with is I have never used induction so I don't know if "cook on medium" on a 120v induction is the same as a typical range, gas stove, etc. Thanks for the spreadsheet idea, I had one for total power but I'm refining it for "run time estimate" now.

    Taking the plunge. Van purchase done!

    Thanks! We are very excited to get started but still a few months away due to some obligations that need addressing first. I am not 100% sure if the pop top is made in house at Sportsmobile but it sounds like it is if you read on their forums and watch factory tour videos. One other option I...

    City by city, state by state laws resource?

    Does anyone know of a resource that would be helpful to see the laws in each state, search by city, without having to do a bunch of searching for each one online? Thank you.

    "Unlimited" for $40/month for unlocked iPhones

    I'm curious if the network is truly 100% the same as Verizon's post pay plan. I've found that a number of carriers, Verizon included, have lesser coverage for prepaid plans and some of these contractual carriers.

    Refrigerate after Opening... Lies?

    Here are some of the ones we don't refrigerate at home. Year round hot, humid tropical climate. Farm fresh (not store bought) eggs that haven't been washed as well.

    Growing Sprouts in Jars

    I've done this at home often. I use any kind of container, but find that some of the plastic rice or similar containers. That can be turned on side give better growing surface, overall height since it's a rectangle essentially when on its side, and free after you consume the rice. For rinsing...

    shopping for induction cooktop

    Does anyone have numbers on how much amp hours are used making meals? We are considering induction but battery usage is a concern. I have no idea how much typical use might draw. Thanks.
