    Fuse location for + wire coming off house battery

    Shouldn't the fuse be located at the battery for the large wire coming off the battery + that feeds a DC-DC charger or solenoid? (I'm getting ready to install a DC-DC and saw this pic on the Pirate Aid thread and wondered):

    Diesel heater fuel tank placement

    I've seen on Promaster forums where fuel tanks have been placed in the engine compartment. The main reason for putting it there (or other external location) is to avoid any chance of spillage and funky smells inside the van. My '93 Ford van has a large open space right to the side of the...

    Wow. Economy AGMs just went way up.

    For my battery upgrade I was just getting ready to buy either two of the Universal UB121000 AGMs or a single Renogy 200ah AGM. The 200ah Renogy AGM goes for $366. The 121000 batteries were $189/ea. just last week but now are $225/ea. on Amazon. Adding $20 for connector cables, the total for...

    Defective Amazon hitch

    I just wasted 3 hours installing a Curt front receiver hitch on my '93 Econoline. OK, I did get this for half price because it had "minor cosmetic" damage to the powder coat. A little spray paint would take care of that ,no problem. So it's delivered and I see that it is packed poorly with no...

    Any amateur geologists on the forum?

    My friend often walks his 5 acre lot near Sierra Vista, AZ and has found about 20 of these small,round stones. They weren't found in any one location but were scattered around most of the property. They're not old marbles since they aren't perfectly round and they vary in size by 10-20%. Any...

    Bob's van raffle tickets

    If you bought tickets there are no physical, printed tickets with numbers on them. So how do we check the ones we 'have' to whatever # is drawn as the winner? Do we just have to take their word for it who won?

    Dual-purpose for that battery powered drill

    Not very practical but it's pretty ingenious. I like that it has front and rear disk brakes (link to CL ad): https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/mcy/d/scottsdale-dpx-drill-powered-pit-bike/7413181011.html

    Out with all the lights

    Tonight I just went outside to empty some trash and noticed that it's much darker than usual. The bright light set high on a pole here on the property is off.  It's a security light like many people have who live out in the country and it must be burned out or it was damaged in last night's...

    Hail yes

    Today I received some first-hand knowledge about how durable PV solar panels are.  Last night we had a fierce hailstorm that lasted about 30 minutes with hailstones that were about 3/4" in diameter. In the small house I'm renting there is a skylight located almost directly above where my...
