  Hey, What about battery socks?  My father used to wear them hunting.

Is it possible to fiind an inexpensive foam type rug or mat to lay on the floor, to make your feet more comfortable?

 Better yet, find a sock knitter like me, and have them custom fit to you.  You realize that wool items need to be washed in cool water, yes?

  This is what Ruby looks like, except she doesn't have window visors. A good thing because I have a solar window fan to help keep Sophia comfy.  When I get the camera figured out  I'll take pics showing the placement of the cot, and table where passenger's seat was. I have to figure out where...

Work on Ruby so far.... I already put a cot in her, with memory foam mattress.  (Shortened, of course)  I removed all but the driver's seat.  Now I need to decide if I should put a small table where the passenger seat was, or a chair facing the rear.  The table would be nice for coffee makings...

  Solani,  I had my heart set on a Ford Van Conversion, but the sale fell through.  So I am now concentrating on my 2005 Ford Explorer.  Check my Methuselah thread toward the end, for info on "Ruby"  and setting her up for travel.

Hi Solani, Perhaps there is an auto club in the US that you could join.  It would be nice if you could be put in contact with a garage in the US, that could tell you up front what your vehicle would need, and the cost. Good Luck. :)

YeeHaww, look what I found for <a href="https://www.amazon.com/NOCO-GCP1-125V-Integrated-Extension/dp/B009ANV81S/ref=cm_wl_huc_item"><b>RUBY.</b></a> Even I can install this, and won't have to use the inverter when shore power is available. :D ;) :)  This will get me started on getting Ruby...

Wolf, your posts are also helpful to people like me who know nothing about the various needs of batteries, chargers, gizmos like multimeters and coulombr meters, because you relate your actual experiences.  I'm still in the Schultz excuse "I know nussing" but I'm learning.

Thank you professor, I'm on it.

Neat story.  My daughter-in-law had a catering business with a wizard name. and my late husband did a pen-and-ink wizard for her business cards.  She is no longer in that business, so if the sketch would be useful to you, you're welcome to it. (That is if I can find it :))

Wow John,   :blush: I think I may have missed a few hundred lessons in this course.  Thanks.

Lone Wolf, may I add a battery question to your thread? My vehicle has some kind of short or other problem that over time, will run the battery down.  I have a maintainer installed, but have been advised that a multimeter would be a good idea. Can someone familiat with this please tell me if...

Thank you Canine.  I've been worried heat would build up, or the battery would be adversely affected. Seems a sneaky way to get shore power to the rig. :s  Max

My 2005 Ford Explorer has an issue of running down the battery when the vehicle is not used for a long period of time. So I installed a maintainer so I know the battery will start the engine.  Question - Is it ok to run small things with the inverter while the maintainer is plugged in?

Wayne and Christine, you are having way too much fun. :dodgy: Nevertheless, carry on with the the Dragon's Lair. ;) Interesting <a href="http://www.netanimations.net/Fire-Breathing-Dragons-Wizards-Fantasy-Gif-Animations.htm"> <B>Fire Breathing Dragon</b></a> site, from whence the animation came.

There ya go, you're using the Dura for visuals after all.   :D :D How is a fire-breathin; dragon not related to steam? :s  Max

Hi,  You've got a good start.  The gutted Duraflame is good looking, have you thought about putting fake flames against the glass for a Franklin Stove look?  Your leather-like storage containers are quite handsome.  Hopefully you will make spaces for them as decorating items.  Bob did a video of...
