    Digikey

    Some posts above seem to be confused as to why the DigiKey information is relevant to this forum. In the past DigiKey was cited as a Nomad-friendly employer on this forum, CheapRVLiving YouTube videos and the RTR, and since things have apparently changed for working temp at DigiKey, that...

    Best used Prius (or equivalent brand) for dwelling?

    I think that Toyota overcharges for battery replacement, since I've seen professionally rebuilt battery packs (with new cells) for significantly less. There are also DIY videos on YouTube covering all that so, if you know the difference between parallel and serial battery connections, that...
