Lots of room in a Rav4 for the size. Too bad I cannot drive mine farther than 80 miles between charges... (Mine's electric).

Funny, Old thread. I posted in this four years ago when we had a travel trailer. Popeye called our method "Slow ride, take it easy, like the song" LOL. Now we have a heavy Class A Diesel with Hydraulic levelers. Should be solid as a rock, eh? Nope. Wiggles and rocks nearly as much as the trailer...

You cannot get away from having a generator if you want air conditioning. I use my 1,200W solar for everything else...

It's not just Class A folks. Many car campers and trailer campers use contractor gensets which make way more noise then an 1800 RPM twin cyl genset in an older coach. I have a Class A. I rarely run my genset, but when I do, I run it for as little as possible, and park far away from those who...

good point.

I'm considering a Tesla battery module. There are some good project blogs out there, and if any battery is mobile rated, it's going to be a traction battery from an EV. the single 24V 5.2KWh Battery will outperform my four GC2's for much less weight and space. I can also then use my Sensata...

Reminds me of my dad's 80 blazer he rigged up for hunting.

"Digging for Booger"? Really? You guys are lucky you don't sit in tech conferences full of Asian PHD students all presenting their papers. - Yep, we tried that in the 90's - Nope that doesn't work either - Sorry, your conclusion was wrong - We've been running your "New" process for 20 years...

The one thing that amazes me here is so many people either rip out the existing RV toilet and black tank or just prefer a bucket. Me? Give me something that flushes any day. If you have a 10 Gallon black tank, you can still use a blue buddy portable tank to transfer it to and then take it to...

The car communicates with the charger ped. (Canbus, I Think) If the software in your charger is compatible, the unit will work. Superchargers are 400VDC but Chargepoint and Blink are 240VAC. It wouldn't surprise me if someone makes a charger that will charge batteries other than a Lithium Ion...

AWD and 4WD are essentially the same thing, but AWD tends to be automatic, as in, it detects wheel spin in the rears, and the fronts hook in, usually with a viscous coupling. I have an AWD sport trac. I have no choice as to when it goes into 4WD. I can put it in 4WD but I cannot prevent it from...

To release a ty-wrapped key, just twist the key back and forth until the tie breaks...

You can sell on BLM land, but it requires a permit which takes 90 days or more to get, and you have to share 3% of your proceeds with the BLM. There is a ~$130 fee which is basically a minimum amount of the revenue share. If your amount is less, they keep the $130. Not worth the hassle...

Yeah, not something you'd wanna use indoors...

How you making out?

"Volt-XL"

We were at a Motorhome Rally on Plamosa Road last January and the guy in the coach next to us fired up his caterpillar to charge his batteries. I told him that really isn't helpful to the rest of us and his problem was not charging, but just shit batteries after looking it all over. He thought...

Put a contractor genny out where it can be seen. May keep others out... But then again, may attract an asshole who runs one all night.

120 more miles range than my Rav4

Still need the sticker on the License plate. Both residents and out of state visitiors need them. Pays for new trails, parks, and enforcement. Better to put the cost on the users than the whole state.
