    LG has a 27" 4K computer monitor that runs on DC power

    While browsing Best Buy I came across https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-27uk600-w-27-ips-led-4k-uhd-freesync-monitor-gray-white/6204328.p?skuId=6204328. Yup, it has a power brick and the monitor in fact runs on 19V DC (direct current).  That's the same voltage as many laptops, now that's...

    Mapping cell towers to help decide where to camp?

    Man, I admire the ability to just check out from technology.  Kudos to people that do it! But for us folk that rely on a cell signal as part of their modern life and/or income, do you just try a spot and move on if no signal?  Rely on campsite reviews?  Plan in advance with cell tower location...

    BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 Tires Suitable For An 8500 Pound High Top Class B?

    The tires get good reviews but are they a match for my needs?  I will be mostly western states boondocking and could see perhaps even needing to air down on occasions.  The rig is a '97 Dodge 3500 Maxi van with a heavy high top on it and I understand tire sidewalls should be a consideration.  It...

    Best Shops For Tires For Western Nomads?

    I'm planning to boondock, mainly around the west.  I'm shopping for new tires here in Denver before hitting the the road soon.  Is there any consensus on the best chain of tire stores to use for sales/warranties/service etc with plenty of locations around?  Discount Tire?  Pep...

    Charge controller that takes solar, shore and isolator inputs?

    I'm putting in a 170AH Renogy lithium battery and need to charge it, of course.  My '97 Class B has a built-in shore power converter/charger but the voltage isn't high enough for Renogy's suggested 14.4+-.2 volts and it only provides 32 amps.  The existing house battery isolator is only giving...

    12V to 19V DC to DC Converter to Power Laptops?

    I tried a search and didn't find anything so I apologize if it's already been covered.  Has anyone tried something like this: https://www.amazon.com/AweKing-Waterproof-Converter-Regulator-Transformer/dp/B076FXKWW5/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1537813450&sr=8-5&keywords=12v+19v+converter ?  The idea is...

    One shaded solar panel dragging down the system - switch it off?

    I've got a '97 Dodge Phoenix campervan that already has a standard roof vent installed so I'm not really flexible with where that opening is.  It's not moving anywhere! As it is I believe I can fit 4 100 watt flexible solar panels up there with plenty of spacing from the vent so as to not worry...

    Chevy Express - AWD or no?

    I've read posts where folk seem to really like their AWD system but I took notice that Bob did NOT opt for AWD for his new Express.  He plans to put in a locker, but I believe that one can add a locker to an AWD van as well. If that is the case, then why would one NOT want AWD to begin with...
