    UPS Battery Backup from Computer?

    I have a CyberPower 1285VA rated at 700 watts that someone gave me. Could I utilize this to charge / power small devices on the road? How much charge time would I get on say just a phone or just a laptop? I have an AC Outlet in the bed of my pickup to charge the UPS while driving.

    Traveling with a Purpose

    As I sit and day dream about a nomadic / RV life I think I need a purpose. Traveling with a goal(s) and destinations in mind. Something like photography, hiking/biking/skiing certain places or making a documentary of some sort (not on van life LOL) for example.  What I don't want is to become a...

    Hello Everyone, Just found this forum a few days ago and have read quite a bit. I recently started researching "the lifestyle". I always assumed it would be more expensive than traditional living. This is comforting to me as a life "Plan B". My spouse and I are separated but living together for...
