    If you have a good charge controller, I don’t think you need any other meters, it has all the information on it, at least that I use, it tells me the voltage of the battery along with a bunch of other things that I don’t understand. It is simple! you need a battery, a fuse, a charge controller...

Ideally with a poptop so when you are hanging out during the day you can stand to cook etc. Second best vehicle would...

I had a Dickenson deisel heater on a sailboat, it was much cheaper to run, it did smell a little on...

    Cummins Canoe (A Stepvan Story)

    I bought a new rad for my kurbmaster shortly after I bought it 12 years ago after wasting a ton of time trying to find someone to fix my old one thinking that was the cheapest option. I was very surprised how cheap a new radiator was.

A time of doubt, fear, this is not unique to vandwelling so give it some time to get into new habits, new schedule, routine. I think it is important to stay in...
