  • Post in thread: I Want to Know Why...?

    Since you brought the subject up, I have never questioned Will's motives for creating this site or anything else. I am very grateful for him and the forum, the information I have learned, and for many of the people here. I think he has every right to profit from what he does too. (I used to...
  • Post in thread: Will’s Box ???☀️

    @DisabledVet ...but if one part of the all-in-one breaks, you're without power until the whole thing gets returned to maker, fixed, and shipped back to you. Easier to swap out one part that you can either buy locally or get shipped to you.
  • Post in thread: Amazon Sucks Big-Time!

    Do you guys want to hear something funny? I have my display name on Amazon as Santa, and the guy from India kept calling me Santa, LMAO.
  • Post in thread: My Solar Shed Construction Starts in a Week

    I couldn't agree more. It is all about divide and conquer. I TRY to stay out of politics all together. I have my opinions though and mostly keep them to myself. I live in a town with mostly far-left beliefs and political persuasions. Everyone I have ever heard who discusses "climate...
  • Post in thread: I'm a 71 year old woman who survived a stroke 3 years ago after watching off grid van dweller videos for about 9 years.

    Have you watched Will Prowse's video about when he began living in a vehicle and why? He was disabled too. Just some inspiration:

  • Post in thread: Battleborn Batteries - Great Company, doesn't charge tax & gave me discount

    I just ordered 2 Battleborn LiFePO4's 100 ah, and Ronnie told me they don't charge tax or shipping. He said they eat it. Everyone else charges tax for my state. He also ended up giving me $100 off! How awesome was that after just going through a nightmare with Amazon cancelling most of my...
  • Post in thread: Solar Power Education Videos for Beginners: Will's YouTube Playlist

    Why not help Will Prowse out and watch his YouTube videos and learn about solar electricity too? Don't have time and just want to support him? Just put the playlist on in the background while you do your thing! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7bvIB2TPsChaaGyPfBbk-txxXqe82PK5

  • Post in thread: I Want to Know Why...?

    The only reason it's not substantiated by me is, I don't screencapture every word I type, so I am at fault??

  • Post in thread: Amazon Sucks Big-Time!

    So here is an update regarding Amazon freezing my account and cancelling almost everything (about 40 items) I ordered. I have spoken to them about 6 times over the last month with supervisors promising to personally call me back, but none did. Well, today was my lucky day after having to...
  • Post in thread: 12v Fridge

    So power management is key. I stole this from Bob. He says to do this and you will only use between 2-4 hours of compressor run-time: First thing in the morning, turn the fridge temp down to ALMOST freezing, but not freezing. Then turn it back to normal. Repeat that in mid-afternoon. He...
  • Post in thread: Amazon Sucks Big-Time!

    I don't mind the civil debates here, I just don't have time at the moment to read everyone's posts and respond. I am on a time crunch. I have a lot to say about this subject, just can't now. Thanks.
  • Post in thread: Amazon Sucks Big-Time!

    Everything's fine with me. I know I am going to let some of you boys and girls down, but....Santa is a she, LOL.

    Amazon is a monopoly just like Google. They need to be broken up.

  • Post in thread: Electricity Question for you experts: Which is better high watts at a short time, or low watts for a longer time?

    I don't have a clue what you all are talking about. I never had a Sprinter or even a van. IDK what to say beyond you confused me with someone else? and then ...confused me more?

  • Post in thread: Who is using solar 100% in a vehicle or house?

    Unfortunately, I was introduced to a narcissist (my ex). I was very perplexed how that worked, never being in a relationship with one (knowingly) before. I was always perplexed how he would do something wrong and turn it around that I did something wrong and blame me. (I later became friends...
  • Post in thread: I'm a 71 year old woman who survived a stroke 3 years ago after watching off grid van dweller videos for about 9 years.

    Shejeans, I think we answered your original post and gave you helpful advice. I for one gave you Cheaprvliving's info and the H.O.W.A. info. and I left vids on how to insulate, etc. Did you even contact Bob or his forum??? He has an emergency help on his HOWA site. You never even replied to...
