Yea but you can plug an extension cord into the wall and run a microwave.

Hi Juan...yes I get what you are saying in your first post. I've been an electro-mechanical tech since the 80's and I get why the whole solar thing is confusing.....because it is technical, and the amps/volts/watts terms are used interchangeably, often improperly and out of context. I was...

I'm curious...what is your price range and why do these vehicles appeal to you? I'm curious what your adventures are and the details about your comfort levels, etc. I'm on portland.craigslist too

Juan I sent you a PM, I think/hope...if I did it right?

Yeah if you wanted to you could shop around and do it fairly inexpensive.  You'd be stuck with certain colors and sizes and shapes, which is fine if you are happy. I wanted earth tones, synthetic insulation, new/not used (uncompressed), and certain sizes. I suppose moisture could be a problem in...

mlgadams: Not sure if this will work for you....I have flex panels that I can store inside my van. Depending on the situation, I use 100 lbs. fishing magnets that I stick to the outside of the van. The magnets have loops. The flex panels have grommets on each corner. I stick the magnets...

I bought a king sized comforter and used magnets to hold it up. I also use comforters on the sides, front, and back. The comforters are washable. Very cozy, comfy, and dark inside. My whole build probably took 2 hours, but was expensive. s

Two weeks to go.... I'm paranoid about varmints getting into my engine compartment. I plan to set traps.  What has anyone found works at keeping rodents out? Thank you, Steve

After a lot of pondering I went with the posi. It's in and done. That, with some cable chains, should get me through all but the really bad stuff. Thanks everyone.

I just bought the iceco expandable, 35L to 45L. It is awesome but I have nothing to compare it to other than coolers and ice. Its a game-changer. It uses very little DC power. I paid $500. Items on the bottom get colder than middle and top so you can stack depending on what you want frozen...

Thanks everyone. I watched some youtube today and got cleared up on some things. As usual there are differing opinions on which diff is best for which use and so I'll have to think some more about my real needs. Slow2day: I've been at 5000' in Oregon in August and September and had it ice...

Thanks. Yeah I really like the idea of the Detroit style...more robust and I am in control of when it activates or doesn't. So is it like 4x4 where you don't want to run it on dry pavement for any length of time? If you are moving like 30mph and hit some slippery stuff you would just have...

I have a rear wheel drive Ford van.  Its about $1000 to have a limited slip drive put in.  My friend did it to his truck and recommends it. I don't mind the cost but am just wondering if I REALLY need it.  I don't ever plan to go down some questionable narrow or rutty road.  I'll always take...

Hi, I'm new here and haven't read all the comments so someone may have addressed this. I'm not sure what you mean by 'no-build' so what I'm doing might not apply to your concern. I have an econoline and I want to use electric heat so I outfitted with solar that could handle a small heater. The...
