My Lithium batteries say right on them, the best charging voltage is 14.3. Just set your charger for what your brand of battery calls for.

Another option is find someone with their own rig to join you. Sharing a small living space can get old quick. It also makes parting company difficult for both if personalities clash.

I think this is a good idea. I think one and two day trips are good to start with. Not real pleasurable having to be with someone for weeks if the personalities clash.

A rose by any other name. What others call it doesn't matter. Not everything in your life needs to be public information. You can be a private person that only gives personal info on a need to know basis. There is no such thing as just curious. There is always a motive behind wanting info...

Not everyone can change their domicile for the sake of a vehicle. There are many factors involved in choosing a State. Does your insurance know you live full time in a different State. Will they pay a claim or call fraud and not pay. Can you get medical care out of your domicile State, (other...

Where you are it maybe easy, That doesn't make it so everywhere. There are reasons people can not just move elsewhere be it property they own, medical insurance, State disability payments, State income tax and many others. If you register out of State, you can get busted for that as well. If...

I think the Wave heater has a low oxygen shut off. Crack the window when running and get good bedding so you can turn it off when you sleep. Why spend $4 a night when you don't need to? $120 a month could go for other things.

It may be easier to freelance once you have worked for someone else. They will not need to know what you are living in. You may even be able to work mobile with them. You are young, so no harm in trying different things. One word of caution is living in a vehicle has its downsides that...

Check the laws in your State. It can be almost impossible to get insurance or to convert a commercial title into an RV title. Give your insurance company the VIN number of something similar to what you are interested in if you have not picked out a single vehicle, (just shopping). and ask for a...

Some depends on the State you will register it in. Vans do not seem to fall into the same category at DMV as a box truck which is only considered a commercial vehicle. In Nevada it is very difficult to get insurance for an individual. I think Arizona is a lot easier. A few years back there was...

It would be fine with me if HOWA was membership only. I would not join. Perhaps from 68 years of dealing with groups and people who perceive themselves as powerful, I choose to avoid them. Many "worthwhile" organizations have a sinister side. Google St. Jude Hoards 5 BILLION as an example...

Some States require the towed object to have it's own active braking system. I spent several thousand dollars for a system that would apply the brakes to my Toad. In hindsight I should have bought a car trailer that had electric brakes. .

The regulator that controls the alternator regulates the voltage, (not the amperage). It is set between 13.8 and 14.6 volts. The amount of amperage is determined by the size of the alternator windings and how much the batteries and other loads will accept. Vehicles will have an alternator that...

Motors and electronics like Pure Sine Wave.

Pickup pulling a small trailer is my vote. Most have good ground clearance from the factory and you can put a shell on the back. 4WD is a plus, but keep in mind if you are not traveling with others and you brake down, tow trucks will often not leave county maintained roads to come get you. Old...

On the aspect of pollution, I read that wood decomposing in a forest or landfill puts out as much carbon footprint as it does burning. It just takes more time. If it were not being burned, there would be a greater quantity rotting so not as much difference as it may seem. When camped alone I...

True, but GVW Gross Vehicle Weight is the maximum it can weigh going down the road. If you go over that weight you can be cited. It is pretty rare, but can happen. Being a commercial vehicle you may need to go through a scale. What they can do with over weight vehicles is detain them at the...

Laws vary wildly by State, but they all have reciprocal agreements. If your State does not require a Class B license to drive a large RV, you can still drive it in the States that do require it. Their licence laws apply to their residents. There are Federal guidelines but each State has the...

Some guitars are completely composite. They tend to be quite pricey though. Martin has a high pressure laminate, (HPL), It is the LXK2, which should also do well. I think the 2 in the name indicates the top is also HPL. LX1 models have a solid wood top and HPL sides and back.

Commercial insurance carriers will usually not cover use as an RV. Regular insurance companies will not cover commercial vehicles, (at least not here in Nevada). Most of the time RV insurance is cheaper as they assume that you use it part time. If you are full time, then the rates go way up...
