No need to be offended or insulted good sir or madam.  I was merely commenting on the hypothetical demise of someone following your spectacularly poor advice and inducement to ignore that "sensationalist" article and not to panic.  While the colorful stretched verbiage and tangential, if...

You posted a basic tire advice article that advises customers to check the NHTSA website in response to a well researched and sourced story of a manufacturer caught red-handed purposely hiding damaging test results from the NHTSA to avoid a recall after marketing a low speed tire for highway...

Goodyear's G159 was sold to RV OEM's for nearly a decade for use on Class A Motorhomes, and can be found on many local delivery trucks/vans that might see conversion to cheap homes on wheels.  It has a highway failure rate potentially 10 times greater than the insidious Firestone/Ford SUV...

Hi Dr. Jean, I've got the same van as you so I went out and did some measuring... From the edge of the hitch receiver to the edge of the widest part of the door opening is about 30", so it seems at first glance a 26" wide chair should go through that space no problem. I measured this from the...

The only interest I have is adding to this discussion, hopefully to help ceejay and others in a similar situation, why your request for third party inspection will be turned down by people other than ruthless or "scammy" sales people. The primary reason as I have outlined, is that the...

You seem to have a misunderstanding of what "at stake" means in the specific context of this discussion about inspections. I am more than wiling to explain and engage you to help any way that I can, but the nature of your responses so far seem to be more of a joke or openly hostile than someone...

I understand the average person does not have much exposure to contract law, or even understands that contracts are designed to protect both parties. There is a a tendency to think "the customer is always right" and a strong aversion to personal responsibility on the part of the "customer" in...

I would advise if you are unable or unwilling to take on the full risk of causing damage to someone else's property by your own actions, either stick to dealerships or look specifically for motivated sellers who are in a bad position financially. Both are more likely to take the risk on you to...

Yes, and as the mechanic is insured, as long as the buyer has faith in that insurance they can make a claim against the mechanic and work out the details on their own time to recoup their money - all the escrow situation does is get the seller's vehicle back in action as fast as possible while...

I always let anyone perform a visual and functional inspection when I'm selling an expensive personal item, car, or whatnot. If someone wants to pay for an detailed inspection, I as a seller of course am not incentivized to shoulder the increased risk - so the inspection can be performed on...

Almost 100% guaranteed to be a typo, especially if the unit can operate off AA batteries. Even if it's not a typo, most low voltage AC devices can operate on DC as it gets rectified inside the unit to DC. There are exceptions, but a weather station is not likely to be one of them. :)

Any USB car charger can provide the 5V DC you need for the weather station, the trick is getting the right connector(s) on each end of the cable. You can cut and splice cables together, or use any of the array of adapter cables that are available online, example...

Video consumption is quite possibly the lowest effort activity a person can engage in during their waking hours. It is linear in delivery, often emotionally driven, and completely passive. Functional illiteracy continues its advance in western culture, "screen time" increasing in lock-step...

I've found a lot of new channels to watch on YT by searching for the RTR this week, yours is one I've been watching recently! I know it's not easy to and a lot of work to make and upload videos, especially when you're mobile. Thanks for posting and welcome to the forums! :cool:

I'll keep this going since it's definitely a closely related tangent to the whole heating/humidity issue, the mods can split it if they want. The cycle time sounds like it could work well with the drain set up I'm not sure, it might take some fine tuning. I know the commercial ones will cut...

Creativity, I like it! Many HRV's cannot be used below freezing in high humidity situations, the water freezes in the exchanger. The smaller units have a controller that will usually just totally shut them off at around 40 degrees exterior temps. The larger units often will have a defrost...

Amen, portability is the key here! While non-vented stoves claim 98% efficiency, they really are much closer to 70 - 80% by the time you factor in the increased heat load of having open windows or vents so the occupants don't asphyxiate. But, the available energy storage is a much, much, MUCH...

Interesting thread, a little strange, but here's a few "fun facts" to consider! Electric resistance heat is 100% efficient - it is the most efficient form of heat you can use in a completely closed system, all of the usable energy that reaches the heater is turned into heat - neato! Inverters...

I watched Bob's video about an hour ago, I was shocked to hear what was happening. I hope the tribe can come together and rally around Bob and work on a solution going forward.

I've always thought these shuttle buses have some really good potential! I like windows so it appeals to me, a lot of vanners do not like windows though, mostly privacy and insulation concerns which are more difficult to deal with. Most states will require a CDL to drive anything with over 15...
