    Looking for a faraday bag that works

    I cannot seem to find a faraday bag or case for my cell phone. Sure, they are everywhere for sale at various prices but I have yet to find even one without negative reviews saying it doesn't work. Do you know of one that works as it should?

    Can we talk about the fridge?

    Our build will be very minimal with no indoor sink or stove top. However, we will be adding a fridge of about 4.5 cubic feet. My question is freezer or freezerless?  One complete shelf will be lost to accommodate even the smallest freezer. I am leaning toward no freezer as the only food item...

    Tow capacity of Ford E350

    Do van towing capacities equal that of a pickup with the same rating? In other words, can I expect a Ford E350 to tow a 29 ft travel trailer as well as a F350 pickup will? Thanks if you can help.
