If you're ever in Oregon ATVs and UTVs are not legal on roads and cannot be plated. They can be used on some national forest roads but only on certain approved roads shown on the motor vehicle use maps (MVUM).

It's a good idea to weigh a 1 lb bottle after filling because it's easy to overfill. Empty Coleman propane bottle 363 g, 817 g full.

I would not fill a butane bottle with propane because of the higher pressure. Propane psi is about 4 x that of butane.

Microwave ovens do not work well on modified sine wave inverters. They make a lot of noise and opperate at reduced power output. Dorm refrigerators, at least the ones I have, work fine on modified sine wave inverters. I used to use one powered by a 175 watt inverter so a 1000 watt should have no...

I had some dropped service issues with Visible last year but they have been fixed. The Samsung A03 phone works fine and is used almost exclusively as a hot spot for my tablet. If there is any kind of data cap I haven't noticed it. I'm satisfied with the service.

One problem I often encounter when camping in the forest is figuring out where to park so the solar panels get the most sun. There is an app called Sunnytrack that helps find the best spot. It costs $6.99 on Playstore but is well worth it for where I summer camp.

Old thread but I thought I'd post an update on my Renogy 1000 watt inverter. 3 months out of the 1 year warranty it failed. The power light turns on but no 110v power is produced. Looking inside I see one MOSFET popped. I'll replace the part and see if it'll work or if there are other components...

There is a way to run 12v lights without running wires, sort of. I have used copper tape, about 1/2" wide, comes in rolls, used for making stained glass windows. Stick it to the wall and paint over it if desired.

I have that exact TV that I bought a few years ago. I recommend it, works very well. I often plug in a USB portable hard drive to play downloaded movies.

My Visible phone, a Samsung A03S, updated from Android 12 to 13 today. Incidentally I switched phones and plans a couple months ago when I was having connectivity issues. Went from the $25 plan to the $30 plan but after 2 months Visible reduced the cost to $25 again without having to join a group.

In the late 70s some of the campgrounds in Yosemite Valley were free from about November to March. I stayed there in my camper for a couple months one winter. When they resumed charging a fee in the early spring I went up to Cherry Lake to camp for free.

I haul a small motorcycle or a scooter on a lightweight open trailer. Works great for getting around in case of a breakdown. Many vehicles are able to haul one on a hitch carrier so no trailer needed.

I like the Walmart RV batteries for the reasons stated above but also because they are very good about not needing to be topped up with water like other batteries. Lead calcium? With my charge controller set to 14.8 volts I haven't had to add water at all over the three + years I've had them.

Doesn't look like my old Danfoss B2.5 controller.

I'm a life long vegetarian, unlike anyone else in the family of 6 kids that I grew up in. Even as an infant I couldn't stomach eating meat baby food. Cows are safe around me.

I learned 2 things this morning. Winterized diesel will gell somewhere around 0°F unless anti gell is added and a fancy smart charger may not work where an old school simple charger will.

Minus 6°F where I am now and batteries low due to the cold and running the diesel heater on high for the last couple days. The WEN 3800 inverter generator started right up but the Black and Decker 40 amp charger wouldn't work at this temperature. Plugged in the old school transformer type Harbor...

Suppose to have a low of 0°F and a high of 16°F on Sunday here in Bend. Glad to have the diesel heater.
