    Switch controller leads between batteries?

    Wayne. Panels will not self destruct. They can be in the sun when disconnected or even when shorted +/- together. I find the overall thread to be what happens to a controller when connected to panels without being connected to battery. My TriStar 45 amp doesn't do anything. I can disconnect the...

    1st imoressions Ryobi 900w/700w propane generator $299

    Mount under the bus? Too much trouble to lift out to use? How large and heavy are these 700W generators? I was thinking of buying one of these, but not if I need help using it.

    Best route to Harrisburg or Reading PA from Central Florida?

    With the weather in the Carolines, i would avoid I-95. It goes in the wrong direction anyway. Towards heavy traffic. I would, I-75 to I-675, to I-285, Around Atlanta, back to I-75 to Knoxville area, I-40 to I-81 in to Pennsy. Time your by-pass for Atlanta for mid day or later evening. Atlanta...

    You will not hear any stupid terms at the tire store. You will hear snow, all weather, highway, off road, racing slick, these are on sale. Go to Tire Rack Dot Com they have a complete description and explanation to make you a smart consumer.

    Blower not blowing air through air vent

    Let's not censor more posts. just because they said house. Check that the fan is turning, I have seen many broken loose belts. The filters could be blocked, it's rare to get that bad, but could slow the air flow. I found one yesterday where the sheet metal came apart in the duck work, most of...

    Van gvw class, question

    Update. health issues got in the way and while recovering my thought process ruled out another well used van. Despite the weight issues. I hope to hold out for a 1 ton. The old Dodge b250 has done what it can for me.

    Any solvent for removing thick adhesives?

    Harbor Freight air tools work well and the price is right. Those construction glues are difficult to clean with solvents.

    Bulk wire supplier

    Asking for mm wire size. Are you not in USA? Lamp cord, zip cord, speaker wire, or other such cord is ok for small loads as LED lights and small fans. For any serious uses I use and recommend marine grade wire and cables. This company has given me quality work and fast response...

    Small Generator

    With a generator you must carry fuel. In a car I'm thinking it will not be pleasant. Walmart has many small battery operated fans that would work well for you. A set up with a small deep cycle battery to be charged from your alternator while driving, may prove to be enough for your needs.

    Advice on generator/power setup

    Get a "Kill-a-Watt" meter and determine your total 120 volt needs for computer gaming. It is always better to use 12 volt devices. 12 volt compressor fridge are available in many sizes, limited by your wallet. Do not plan to use a dorm fridge. Do a little bit of research and find out something...
