    The Rim is still a nice place..kinda my go to place. I've decided to go ahead and get a solar panel and mount it. It can also act like a little shade cover...it's 7ft long. Except for my trip to Alaska, I never spent any time in the PNW. I like trees and green. I've spent most of my boondocking...

    Hi bullfrog. I haven't seen Bob's video on microwaves, I'll look for it. There's so many power stations my head was swimming with info. I'm going to wait until I'm farther along with my build and a few trips. Thanks for the advice. Peter

I'm currently a caregiver to my 91yr old mom so I'm not retired, though I'm 60+, and I can only get away one weekend a month.
