    Hello! Any advice and help appreciated!

    For your kitchen, ikea has a sink/ counter/ rack set up, it’s great in my pro master 136, big enough to work with but compact and anchors to the D rings against the walls, took all of 30 minutes to put together.

    I had a dodge caravan that at the time was perfect, but I had a friend install a 1000 watt inverter, hooked to a marine battery, that was then hooked into my alternator with a stinger to keep it from harming my car battery on startup and it was excellent, I powered everything without one bit of...
