    Profits over common good as there is a lack of competition between manufactures

    I hate not being to be able to fix simple problems with products because the manufacture has by design made it difficult for the average person. Manufacturers do this simply to make more money and sell you a new one as the old one becomes to difficult or costly to fix. They are creating an even...

    Wearing a mask now we are opening?

    Is it possible to use a Prius to power or charge RV electrical systems?

    This is my first thread in all the years on this forum.  I want facts or ideas about how functional a Prius would be as a source of power for an RV.  How many watts or what could you run while hooked up.  How efficient would this be if possible as opposed to a generator of the same wattage?   My...
