    AGM batteries purchased too soon

    My bad, I was calling them AGM instead of GEL.    I bought 2, 12 V that will be in parallel (I was thinking) and honestly am green at this and was watching a lot of videos on YT so got these to go with the 400W Renogy kit...  I also read somewhere in the forum that you should buy 1 watt per...

    How To Keep Pets Safe & Cool OTR

    Please NEVER EVER leave your pet(s) in a vehicle once the weather starts to turn (as in NOW)...they can die a painful death rather quickly and Arizona WILL PROSECUTE if this happens...Not worth losing your fur baby over just because you are now (or soon will be) living mobile and "want" to go...

    Winter approaching - any temporary make-shift insulation ideas?

    Ted, with all due respect, dogs have a mentality of a 4y/o child and they certainly DESERVE the comfort of another warm body in the cold...especially a "puppy that whimpers all night" and most dogs have bigger appetites in the winter months... maybe her being thin, is a sign of something else. ...
