I had installed a Windy Nations 100W or 150W panel about a year ago, around 10 months. I never got around to putting in an inline fuse, and really did not connect to the solar charger properly as I found out a couple of weeks ago, lessons learned, and this time plan to do an inline fuse, of 10...

I hope to make it to the RTR one day, currently in New England, RI, but it is looking like soon will be in TX soon enough, need one before then, might be able to get by with cooler, but really want ice, love ice, nice ice. I will look for the camper world, have tried REI etc, just not seeing...

Hello, I have been exploring ideas as to Fridge/Freezer options, and am leaning towards Engel or a dometic. I am old fashioned, like to physically see the item, get a good feel for it etc, and returns are lot easier and less stressful for me. I have seen many online of course. But am curious...

Been researching how to stay cool, in the van this summer, looking for ideas etc. Venting, swamp coolers, and the like. Thus far have seen some stuff out there, that is just not for me, but then came across this item... which again just not sure what to make of it. Seems it may cool a micro area...

Yes the battery is mounted in the overhead area of the usual tv vcr area, the original roof is there and it is centered between center line of van, braced etc. It is the usual Wal-mart 12v battery everstart, figured the plates would be negativly affected, so keeping it vertical, may look into...

This last week, apparently my bracing for my Walmart Everstart 12V battery broke, sealed top, (so leakage should not pose an issue), and the battery shifted, and broke the cables off the post. Now am repairing this and am contemplating laying the battery on it's side, rather than the normal...

Came across this today, a portable Ice maker... Khols Sells it here Wondering if it has been used by anyone, seen a YT Video, Guy claims it made a bowl of ice in an hour, had to refill the water, but does not say as to how much water. This Lady reviews it as well, says 8 cubes every 15 minutes...

Lil Rhody, starting to pop, probably another couple weeks till peak, but I am no expert, but they are a changing.

Oh boy think my brain has been fried, still grappling with all this info, and have to say going to have to just do a good ol field test, learn more as I go type deal, as for now this set up is all I can afford,seems like it will do for low consumption, and yes, am hoping to be able to upgrade...

"You have a good basic starter system there and it should serve you well. ya done good!!" Good to hear that, as this is just a start for me, I realize I can not run a micro or fridge on this alone, but money eliminates the option for a second panel and bat. So my plan is to use a laptop for...

Ello!! Just got my 98 Dodge, bout three weeks ago. OK so did I do the math right so far? I made a list of stuff, collected the Volts Watts and Amps, calculated that I may use about 800watts to maybe 900watts daily....again, not sure I did the math right, I am not including a fridge/freezer nor...

Thanks for all the replies. Have to say since I last posted, my time has been quite busy. I purchased the van, a 98 Dodge ram...conversion done...but needs some updating, as she has a vcr and old tube tv in it! Any rate, trying to wrestle out two seats and finally have to call in the Brother...
