It's true I did push back a bit and posted my source on the described sensitivity issues. I would do the same for those that think radio waves or transmission lines are dangerous, or any number of other "sensitivities." I do try to not to disrupt any ongoing discussions and I kept it to a...

My guiding light on this subject was John McCain and his efforts for campaign finance reform. That he is derided by both sides gives his ideas credibility in my eyes. Under today's rules, elections are incredibly expensive. Politicians spend more of their time seeking donations than actually...

I don't think the income charts fully explain the problem. If I am already making $1000 an hour and get a 10% increase that is a significant increase. If I am making $1 an hour and it gets increased to $1.10 an hour, I haven't really changed my buying power much. But both have gotten the same...

That would be my question too. I use a USB charged pump w/shower head and manage to get an acceptable on-off shower with about a gallon of preheated water. It's the amount of water and disposal that are my biggest issues. But in my self-build I do not have large tanks to hold a lot of water.

G8, You ignore HALF the reason I explained I don't like video sources. I can assimilate more info faster when it is in text form. I also don't have to sit through a long video to watch something I find at the end l already knew. But I am sure there are others that find them useful, even if I do...

Keith, I'm not sure exactly what your push back is. Not enough charging stations? My last job I worked with someone that drove a Tesla a two hour round trip every day to work and back. That was in rural Oregon - not exactly a hotbed of charging stations! Most days he just plugged in at home...

Then we will just have to disagree. I don't know what is in the posted video, as I have explained I tend to avoid watching videos except as a last resort. But I can't see how any video would change the high cost of EVs vs average or lower income levels. As far as cost to drive or money saved at...

RE: We have the money... It's called income disparity. The US is rich but most of us sure don't feel rich. There are the upper few percentage that are doing great and then there's the rest of us. Laws are passed to favor and protect the rich political donors and not the rest of us. EVs would be...

Bummer! I hope you can make the best of what's available to you. None of us really know what might be around the next corner. And as we age, it's seldom good. Hang it there.

Yes we tend to wander a bit in these discussions. The OP was about EV for RVing. And I'm guessing that as we improve access or technology for commuters it will also move us closer to an electric RV. As far as horse "waste" - I've shoveled my share of it. And assuming a healthy diet, as someone...

Part of the problem is that none of the manufacturers or producers have to pay for the results of climate changes or the health issues caused by pollution. If they did, their attitude might change. There was a high cost to ripping up all the trolley tracks and putting in gas stations and...

Correct. MY F-150 could not carry any reasonable (to me) truck campers or tow my existing trailer up steep grades without struggling. All I suggested is that overland should do some research before deciding an F-150 would work for him/her. In MY experience a larger truck is usually better for...

Wander, Yes, I've seen similar stories and videos. That was with yesterday's and today's EV tech. I'm hoping for improvements that will creep us forward enough to power an RV for 1 day for every day we collect sunlight, I could live with that. If science comes up with a way WE can collect...

Happy, No argument on EV companies taking a similar stance. But when something better comes along (and I'm still here) I'll probably be in favor of that better thing - whatever it is. That is assuming it can be harvested for free like sunlight! If it requires me queuing up at some kind of pump...

Bullfrog's comments make a good point. Although my trailer and van builds are a much better quality as far as insulation and durability, I have to admit theirs look better on the surface. And my materials won't go spongy the moment they get a little wet. But I've known more than one person that...

I am also happy to see continued science and development of new ideas. It's just that I think they might be coming at this from two opposed directions. There could be people just looking for a slightly different approach that still maintains their current profit margins. And there (hopefully)...

Re: Fetterman. Frankly, not wanting to wear a tie sounds like something I could endorse. I don't know what "other" weirdness he's been up to. But the other choice was Dr. Oz - who has been described as an outstanding shill for oils-of-snake of every description. As far as factory RVs.... Yup...

All good advice, but does anyone still use cameras? I would just remind anyone needing this advice to use the mobile phone most of us carry these days. You don't even need a sim card.

When I was a small child we would visit my GGMother in the Midwest. She had neither electricity nor running water, except for the hand pump on the back porch. No shower, but we would drag out a big, galvanized metal pan that was big enough for me to sit in next to the wood burning cook stove...

I have a F150 and have found it is underpowered for most camper trailer and load conditions. That is why I bought a camper van and now have the f150 for sale. Just do your research before making a decision.
