Yes--from Amazon.  Here's the link from a previous thread: https://vanlivingforum.com/Thread-Newbie-Idea-on-Outside-Window-Covers?pid=139698#pid139698

My 2 favorite: *1000watt MSW inverter and an extra (total of 2) house battery.  Allows me to use the microwave and a toaster (not at same time) for short periods--without annoying my neighbors  with a generator. *Removable outside solar screens for windshield,back and side windows.  Just...

I enjoy solar cooking but prefer the bread I bake in a reflector-type oven--small campfire required however.  Link: https://vanlivingforum.com/Thread-Campfire-Bread-Baking

Let us hope that this Bundy bunch can now rest in peace....in a Federal Prison.

Anyone know what type of rig this is? Looks like it handles off road and city traffic equally well!

Danman welcome  to the forums.  I assume you meant Vacuum Insulated Panels (?).  I was wondering when someone would be creative enough to try something like this--along with the Aerogel fabric.   It's too bad there is not a world wide push to make these cheaper and more common-- like is...

I keep a small one in my daypack.  So far no complaints--use it to cut up apples/cheese etc.

In the news: http://news.yahoo.com/leader-oregon-wildlife-refuge-occupation-arrested-cnn-024944320.html Hope these bozos get to 'occupy' a federal prison soon.

Curious if anyone has tried adding a reflective mylar tarp  to boost EV panel output.  After a little 'googling' I found this example: http://geo-dome.co.uk/article.asp?uname=solar_mirror A reflective-mylar tarp 'strategically placed' might be a cheap way to increase amps during winter/low sun...

+10 On binoculars for astronomy--also dual purpose for bird watching, etc. Short video on choosing binoculars (for astronomy):

I've been refilling the 'disposable' 1# bottles for several years now for personnel  use.  One thing I noticed is that some (but not all) of these bottles start to slowly loose pressure after about 15-20 refills.   I now only keep them for about 10 refill 'cycle's and then dispose/recycle them...

Welcome aboard R&S.  This is a great site with some pretty knowledgable staff and members.   What type of rig do you have?

Looks like even Christmas 'package delivery' is also getting in on this: Wow!

Lee those bunks caught my eye also--luxurious compared to my 'old boat' (SSN-646)...may she rest in peace.

Sorry about that....here's a better link I found after googling it: http://www.littlethings.com/college-students-bus-conversion-tiny-house-road-trip/

I would never want anything this big but have to admit what these kids did is pretty impressive: http://begrizly.com/lifestyle/travel/8-students-renovated-an-old-school-bus-what-it-turned-into-is-incredible-taboola/?utm_source=taboola&utm_medium=cpc

Some campgrounds have small "open Libraries"  where books and dvds can be borrowed--or exchanged with something you want to pass on.  The CG in Organ Pipe National Monument (southern AZ) for example has one of these.   It's in a small kiosk near the first camping loop.  I've left a few dvds...

My RoadTrek came with a "Danby" (Canadian?) Microwave that works just fine on my Xantrex 1000 watt (modified sign wave) inverter.  I usually run the engine also when I'm using it for more than 20-30 seconds--to add a few extra amps to my two original 12V house batteries.   Can't beat a...

Thanks John! On another note:  It's not too early to starting planning for the TOTAL solar eclipse (USA) in 2017.  Link to it's path: http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEgoogle/SEgoogle2001/SE2017Aug21Tgoogle.html Fellow campers:  Where will you be?

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I've been running the small microwave in our RT190--with two 12 volt gel cells and a Xantrex 1000 watt (1200 surge)  MSW inverter (Costco).   My batteries are old and I normally only use the inverter when the engine is running--to get a few extra amps.   Even...
