    Meetup with Rolling EarthShip...

    To me, there is no better thing to do than to meet one of our favorite YouTube roc stars! So when I heard that Louis from “Rolling Earthship” fame was heading north, I reached out and he agreed to meet!!! We even made a little video about the pizza we had... AND the goofy way they cut it! ...

    Best cell tower finder app for IOS...

    I'm curious? What is your "GOTO" app for IOS or Apple used to find the closest cell phone tower? Hopefully with direction finding? Several have been mentioned in several different threads, but I can't seem to find one. We do have an android tablet, but we prefer the iOS versions...

    Chevy Express dome light issues...

    We have a 2008 Chevy Express 3500 extended, cargo version not passenger version. I am looking into how the dome light system works. With the dash switches, I can have the system over ridden, meaning no light. I can also turn the dome light on using the push pull switch. The side doors and...

    Odd things going on with my solar system...

    Couple of things occurring with my solar system... 1.) The "load" icon on the meter will show it has a load when it actually has nothing wired to it. I push the load button on the controllers and it changes to indicate no load. Then randomly, it goes back to showing a load. I assure you, nobody...

    6volt batteries questions...

    I bought them in Jan or march, charged them up and then installed them. I guess I did not check the water levels.... Fast forward to now, six months later... Checked them visually. Saw they needed some water. All told, I guess I added about a half gallon of distilled water to the cells. That...

    As the title implies, we have now completed our second journey... Well, except we have not unloaded yet, lol! The trip began with a week of activity getting ready, buying stuff, and just that pre trip panic that can be overwhelming. Your mileage may vary, I'm sure. The pourpose of the trip was...

    So, what I'm asking is, how long can one leave the deodorant in the thetford between trips? We are not going on trips all the time, and I was wondering about dumping the loo after each trip, even if it got used very little.... Or not at all, for instance. That chemistry seems kinda expensive...

    Remote power switch for MaxAir 5100...

    Looking for ideas here... I have a MaxxAir 5100 fan, it's the one without a wireless remote, but I can order a switch from a dealer, but not the manufacturer.  So, maybe I could simply add in a remote kill switch ( or ground interrupter) kinda thing? That way I could kill power from the dash...
