A new adventure

[Tinysolarshack]

Hey everyone,

Bryan here, I’m from Michigan. I’m thinking of living tiny (again).
I’m headed toward retirement and due to disability my income will be
Less than I had hoped. I’m going to build a small trailer that will be solar powered.
My goal is to be 99% sustainable off grid.
My hobby range all over the spectrum. I have a long history with alternative energy.
It is my hope when I retire to live in my trailer or to do an RV of some sort.
My goal is to have my rig be a dwelling and a teaching space. 
I would to create a simple mobile energy learning environment.
I’m not a professor but rather a guy who loves geeky stuff like electronics, things Mechanical etc I guess I come to the table with almost 30 yrs of fun and adventure in alternative power but by no means a professional.

I play with every thing from solar electricity,computers, phones,gadgets, Ham radio,antenna design etc and a lot more.
I’m just a geeky/nerdy guy who is friendly and seeking his tribe. I’m generally very friendly, open to questions and I get great satisfaction in assisting other in solving what might seem like unsolvable problems.
Other hobbies are taking pictures in nature with a penchant for sunsets, grilling over an open fire, coffee, working with metal, cooking, and of course conversation not necessarily in that order  .
You can find me on Instagram as bburrma 

Yes I can get a bit windy so I will stop here.
Also if there are any Volkswagon diesel TDI fans out there say hello.
Peace, Bryan

Hey thanks Bob, I start my mini trailer build next spring. I hope to meet you and hang out with everyone at some point.
Feel free to ask me questions as well. I should have 900watts of solar at 24 volts by the time I’m done. I know, over kill but I already had the panels for another project that never materialized. ?
Peace Bryan

There's no such thing as too much solar.
