Thank you so much. My mom used to say the same thing before she passed away. I needed to be reminded  :)

I wonder if it would be smart to go to the police and be like hey this is the situation, can you have a dog sniff the car? Regardless I will search it really well and have it detailed if I end up using it

Luckily he never drove the van because he doesn't have a license and my dad hides the keys, but I will search it and have it detailed.

Never would have thought of that, thank you!

This is awesome, thank you  :D

Yes, I can work as long as it doesn't require lifting more than 50 pounds. I was doing DoorDash out of the Vibe, but it barely covered expenses. My mistake was not learning about other job opportunities and limiting myself to the south east (although it turned out to be a good thing because I...

I sent them an email. And I'm thinking March??? And when I said dash to AZ I did mean I fully intend to either stay in AZ for while or go somewhere nearby for work. I'm done with the south east, its cold and wet and there's nothing for me here anymore.

SC doesn't have vehicle inspections. The only positive to this state imho - BUT I will be sure that it will last me 2+ years at least while I save money for something better (if I don't have to go broke with trading it in right off the bat)

Thank you so much! Lowes has a cheap Windy Nation slim 100w panel I just saw  :D the physical stores in SC don't carry any solar stuff so it all has to be ordered (free pickup)

Just a phone and laptop (for now). I sit too much to charge effectively off the car battery (which sucks in the Vibe) unless I'm on my way somewhere.

I hope soon after tax returns go out (if all goes well with getting a vehicle or fixing my dad's), March I think. I have so little power need right now I probably will just run a cheap, as cheap as possible set up until I can afford an upgrade.

Honestly a 100w panel and 100Ah would do me just fine. I just have a phone and laptop right now. I'm considering a 100w panel hooked directly to a Jackery 240 with an adapter until I can afford to upgrade. Eventually I'll get a 12v fridge and such but I have so little right now.

I can do it all! I have excellent people skills with people who aren't like the ones my brother associates with. Office work, janitorial, computer building and repair. I just can't get out of this town right now with my Vibe coming to its end of life. I'll sleep on it and maybe in the morning...

I was originally going to get a Renogy kit, but it will be cheaper to put one together myself. Can someone comment with Amazon links to cables and other doodads I will need? Not including batteries and panels or a controller, just the little stuff cables and such. Much appreciated  :heart...

Yes but it costs $200+ I'm in a situation where every single dollar counts. My best bet is to order everything except the panels through Amazon, get it set up, dash to AZ grab the panels and install em. I was probably going out there anyways once I had everything set up at first, meet people and...

Honestly, as far as that goes, even a mini van would be an upgrade from my car, everything I own fits in the Vibe so no issues there. But like I said to another person, I'm not sure its fair to apply when I will be getting a tax return and there are other people who won't and/or have less than I do.

I might need to do a no-power dash to AZ (i'm on the east coast atm) :D thank you so much

I harness my German Shepherd and use a heavy duty, 25 foot or 50 foot tie out that connects to the door of the vehicle. You can D ring it to any metal hook that might be on your doors or loop it around the bottom of a seat. Much lighter and easier to manage than a kennel. The important thing...

I was going to get the Renogy kit for simplicity (im bad with knowing what to get and do with all that) as well as a cheap but reliable inverter. I think I priced it out with a lithium 100ah battery, but a flooded would be half the price so I can change that and save 100 and upgrade later. I'm...

Thank you so much! I am absolutely looking into that. I do feel physically threatened at my dad's place, the people my brother hangs out with scare me (and I am a woman). I will have his van looked at before making a final decision, it has a great engine in there so hopefully it checks out. The...
