Haven't had to shop around for solar panels in a while. Looking to purchase a 6-900w system. Last time I looked, there were some big time deals from China, of course, but they were largely untested.

This is going to be the main build thread for this big blue (maybe not for long) van.  Van is a military spec G30 with a 6.2 detroit non-turbo diesel motor paired to a 3 speed Hydromatic. It sounds like an old school bus. I have a small list of various things so far that I'd like to do that...

So awhile back I bought this mil spec G30 that came installed with this non-functional 12v air conditioner pre-installed. It's a product produced by a company called Frigette, which of course is no longer in existence.  However, parts for this cooler seem to be readily availiable via...

I'm getting more excited because I'm inching closer to once again becoming nomadic... I've been looking for the right camper to put behind my tow vehicle. I lived in a converted astro van for a year and a half so I don't need anything big, I'm used to small spaces. All I need is the ability to...

I have an ex-military 1988 G30 hi cube van with the 6.2l diesel that has stopped being able to start.  It was doing just fine, and now I'm just getting a click when I turn the key. I know it's some probably minor, at worse just a starter, but since is ex-military I go to check fuses and they're...

https://reading.craigslist.org/tro/d/annville-2006-fun-finder-camper/6766678479.html So here's a debrief... I'm looking to full-time in a travel trailer for about 3 years starting this spring. The objective is to save money and travel while I work, which I feel very blessed to do. My tow...

I think I've decided that my first choice for an RV is going to be a Casita travel trailer. I'd love to find the perfect tow vehicle. It would need to tow the Casita as well as a maximum of 500lbs in the bed at any given time. Preferably it would be used and be as good on gas as possible. What...

It might be time for me to get back on the road... At the end of last year, I was living in my converted astro van, and then I encountered what it was like to live through winter in a vehicle in the northeast. Not fun! Long story short, I've started doing business online and I've cultivated a...

Greetings! I’d like to introduce everyone to Colonel Sherman, a highly decorated retired air force base ambulance soon to become a tiny home. I’ve been living out of an astro van that I’ve turned into a home for the last year, and after discovering what my definite preferences are I...

Let’s talk about battery chemistry. The reason I ask this question is because I’m at a bit of an impasse. I’ve recently realized how little I know about the various types of batteries and how to correctly care for them. In this post, I’m going to put out there what I know and then hopefully...

I did a search and I didn't find a whole lot of information of Lifepo4 batteries, or at least the experience people have had with them. I'm pretty much set on not paying more than a dollar per amp hour at this point, so unless I get lucky and some fall out of the sky magically for me, I'll...

So here are my thoughts... I've had the recent luck lately via craigslist of coming into ownership of both an Engel fridge and a nice inverter (that I forget the name of at the moment) that both support a 24v DC connection. Right now I've purchased a few small doodads of Amazon, such as LED...

Hey everyone, I'm more than excited to be posting here today. After weeks of planning, looking at classifieds, watching YouTube videos and reading forums, write-ups, guides, service manuals, and everything I could get my hands on, I've finally found my Batmobile. [/url][/img] After finishing...
