  • 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.

    Not to take away from Will's excellent YouTube channel or his forum here, but have you watched Bob Well's (CheapRvLiving's) YouTube videos? He shows you how to insulate, and build yourself furniture like a bed for cheap, etc. He started a non-profit this year to help people who are to be...

  • 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 am considering my electric loads. I would like to know, IF one were to use an electrical heater, for instance, and there are 2 settings, either 800 watts or 1000 watts, and if you were to use the higher setting for say, 5 minutes, or use the lower setting for 7 minutes, which would be more...

  • Post in thread: Easy tilt mount

    I'd really love to see exactly how you made this! Could you possibly do a video or close up with step-by-step pics? I've never made anything like this. Thanks.
  • Post in thread: How do I connect 5 solar panels?

    Oh come on. Please allow others to give their opinions and info without criticism. How are we going to learn otherwise?
  • Post in thread: Brass Nuts & Bolts - Where to Get Them?

    I believe BB battery bolts are stainless steel, not steel, just saying.
  • Post in thread: To solder or not to solder?

    You're wrong. I never thought it would be a one-time deal. I want what is safe to travel! I don't want fires!
  • Post in thread: Can someone tell me how to print an entire post?

    Can someone please tell me how to print an entire post? I tried and it only printed the first page, second page was blank. There are a lot more pages...Also, it came out really small font. I want to print this thread...
  • Post in thread: Who is using solar 100% in a vehicle or house?

    LOL, a lot of the people Bob interviews are on Social Security and can't afford rent. I think many of them live on $700 a month. Some supposedly work part-time at Amazon and/or campgrounds. Bob started a non-profit this year (I think a few months ago?) I watch his youtube sometimes still...
  • Post in thread: Amazon Sucks Big-Time!

    I have learned grass fed and grass finished is two different things. I tried Butcherbox a couple months ago. (They are grass finished.) I'm not sure if I will continue, and still have a lot left...it's probably slightly more expensive?? IDK, let me know if you want to try it. I have a...
  • Post in thread: Update on the Water Damage

    So I finally got my bathroom restoration done on January 7, 2020. Yay! The first flood of three floods (4 really) was November 24, 2019. One of the maple cupboards couldn't be put back up due to mildew smell on it and it started to break.) He wants me to go pick something out to replace it...
  • Post in thread: How Many Watts Do You Leave On The Table? (Small Systems)

    My system will be like the first diagram you designed only with a starting battery added, so I will have a lot more left on the table I suppose. (That is, If I am driving that day, right?) ( I am using a slightly modified version of Will's blueprint...
  • Post in thread: I Want to Know Why...?

    Reporting everything just has turned out to have backwards repercussions for me. My comment will be modified to the mods liking, even though there was NO offensive material in MY comment, but the person who was highly offensive's post stayed in tact. Go figure...
  • Post in thread: Brass Nuts & Bolts - Where to Get Them?

    the terminals are brass (you said the terminals are usually tin coated)EDITED Yeah, I saw that too and asked about it. Was told by JH to use the same size bolt as the hole. I'm all good now. Thanks.
  • Post in thread: Solar Limits/questions for the Renogy DCC50S

    Just so you know, Renogy is back-ordered on these. I ordered, they confirmed, took my money, then a couple hours later they said it was back-ordered until the beginning of Dec. Good luck P.S. Sign up for their newsletter if you are new and they will email you a 5% off coupon. I called them to...
  • Post in thread: Someone told me to buy these, now what?? Need help with lug connectors

    I believe in teaching how to fish instead of giving me fish.
  • Post in thread: I bought this jumpstarter/air compressor, should I return it?

    Wow, that's funny because I was looking at reviews and some said it wouldn't even start their car batteries. (I haven't had to try it yet bc my car battery is fine.) The specs say, "can jump start V4, V6, and most V8 vehicles". I will check Harbor Freight out. Believe it or not, I've never...
