    Here is Why You Must be INSANE to buy an RV These Days, Steve Lehto

    I would never buy an RV from any business which is not a contracted seller for that brand. I just checked the local CampingWorld and they are selling Coachmen, Thors, Winnebago, among others. When any business puts such working in their contracts IN BOLD, then there is probably a reason...

    Here is Why You Must be INSANE to buy an RV These Days, Steve Lehto

    When any business requires such wording in a contract, there is usually a reason. Gee, I wonder what that reason is.

    Here is Why You Must be INSANE to buy an RV These Days, Steve Lehto

    I think this video is a bit biased. First of all CampingWorld does not have a good reputation and they are not associated with a specific brand. That means they don’t have the manufacture pushing them to maintain standards. Secondly, I haven’t heard too many great things about Thor. Thirdly...

    Computer Programming in Vehicles

    In my working years I was a software engineer working at IBM. Yes, I did a good deal of coding remotely at home, in my place in Colorado, or in my RV. But since I’ve retired I’ve tried to put all of that behind me.

    They should work, but they’re still directional and have to be in the best position to get good reception.

    Most TV antennas are directional so if it’s not in the right position you won’t get good reception.

    How Long can I run my 12V electric blanket off Car Battery

    I wouldn’t use my vehicle starter battery for anything other than starting the vehicle. If you want to run an electric blanket, then get somthing like a Jackery 500 or Bluetti.

    I want to watch T.V in my van...

    Yes, but I already get most of the stuff from my firestick on my iPad, and it uses much less energy than the TV + firestick.

    RAM Unveils Promaster EV

    I suspect that the 162 mile range is for an empty Promaster. Once you add living stuff, I suspect that the range will really drop.

    I want to watch T.V in my van...

    I have a 12-volt TV in my rig which I can use to pickup over-the-air TV as well as cable. Since I generally boondock I typically will not have cable. I also have a firestick which I can use to stream to my TV. But I’ve found out that I rarely watch TV and instead watch video content on my...

    Gear For Sale Sportsman gasoline-powered inverter portable generator 1000/800 watt for $170

    Check on the power station to see what the input wattage is. If it is above 800 watts, then the generator will take longer to fully charge the power station.

    Gear For Sale Sportsman gasoline-powered inverter portable generator 1000/800 watt for $170

    Before folks get excited about the price, realize that 800 sustained wattage isn’t very much, and won’t be enough to run very many items. My Jackery outputs 1000 watts and a Bluetti AC180 outputs 1800 watts.
