    Using DPDT switch w/ two sources and Inergy Apex

    So, pick up a small motorcycle battery as a buffer between them. Renogy to MC battery, then MC battery to 12v DC input. Just make sure to install fuses.

    I've discovered a unique way to keep my van considerably COOLER.

    And anyone else using this idea: Mount some all-thread rod out from the center of the opening with 2 straps in a plus pattern. Then mount and old carburetor type v8 air filter. It is changeable, blocks everything but air (and water), and redirects the airflow from horizontal instead of...

    Camping coffee bags

    It only vaguely resembles coffee, but a good alternative is Chaga. It's a mushroom (fungus) found in Northern regions that you brew like coffee/tea, is dark brown, and is supposed to be very good for your health. Most grind it like coffee but I like to keep it in chunks in the bottom of the...

    Camping coffee bags

    Admittedly, I am a snob when it comes to my coffee. As far as brewing, each style has it's place and time. I currently have a drip machine, a pour over cone, a french press, and an old percolating kettle. Before being mobile, I had an espresso machine and a few other ways to brew. I have...

    Advice for Getting Inaccurate CA DMV Info Removed?

    Perhaps it's worth a try to insure it at an expensive broker for a month just to change the commercial to private use. Then go back to AAA an try again?

    How can I find a mechanic near me who makes house calls?

    Something not said and increasingly abundant is electrical wiring. A single wire can cause many of these issues and also connect and disconnect without warning (like a ground wire). Alternatively, you stated that the engine was replaced. Whether by a mechanic or not, a bolt could have been too...

    Caution for RV Owners Using Lithium Batteries

    May I suggest a DC - DC Charger? It isolates the batteries to prevent drain from different voltages and limits the draw from an alternator. Heavy alternator draw will kill the internal regulator, causing a failure.

    If it's experience you want, join the next beet harvest and stay on for a while.

    Civil Asset Forfeiture and the Police

    First, reserve your right to remain silent and ACTUALLY do so. NEVER agree to a search. And if you carry cash, get a safe permanently mounted in an inconspicuous place. They're inexpensive insurance.

    Honey Truck Karma

    Sorry, Karma and dogma ARE spiritual concepts and were created as such. Appropriating the terms doesn't change that.

    what's the futur for gasoline van/RV/camper

    I grew up here in SoCal and remember having days off from school because the air quality was making people sick.

    Honey Truck Karma

    Most of these tales have little to do with karma but cause and effect. Karma is a spiritual thing.

    Law related needs on the road

    Not sure criminal prosecution is an area most of us need expertise in; but, if you are looking in the other direction, how about helping with the issue of needing a physical address to obtain a license, vote, and obtain legal insurance.

    teardrop ala bicyclé

    Quick and dirty: 2 boxes on a hinge with a canvas loop attached. Fibergas poles sewn into pockets will fold down flat when halved. Compartments inside boxes and cargo straps on top when underway.
