    How Do you Secure Expensive Camera Gear in Your Car while Travelling?

    That looks much more robust, and the price is not outrageous, pelican cases are not cheap, but do include the foam that you will have to add to the gun safe. For some reason the pluck foam is very expensive, and does not even hold up that well, imho you are better off using solid foam and...

    How Do you Secure Expensive Camera Gear in Your Car while Travelling?

    A pelican case will be no match for an axe, of course the gear inside will be trashed too, it's just a plastic case ( although a very nice one, I have two) The handle can probably be cut off the case with a hacksaw in about 60 seconds I don't think they have any steel in the them. The only...

    How Do you Secure Expensive Camera Gear in Your Car while Travelling?

    Basically all you can protect against is the quick smash and grab type stuff, there is absolutely no point in trying to make an armored car out of the vehicle. If someone knows you have it, and really wants it, there are tons of portable tools that will cut thru anything on the car. You really...

    Single source for all camper electrical needs?

    Thanks for the replies, I left out what is probably a critical piece of info. Most of my trips are short 2-3 nights, a week max. The short ones I can just recharge at whatever recommended rate back at the house, the longer one I guess I will need to run the generator. Right now I don't really...

    I am in the process of rebuilding a 12' alaskan cab over. I have completely gutted it and insulated the lower section, I added a cassette toilet and shower. I still have a long way to go and am hoping ( but not overly optimistic) that it will be ready for Acadia Maine in July. I am making maple...

    Solar Panel Issues......Help!

    Looking again at your drawing I can't really figure out what you have going on, so keep this in mind. Voltmeters can be placed across loads/sources. ammeter are placed in series( in line) with the current to be measured. A shunt is just a precision resistor of very low resistance that is placed...

    Solar Panel Issues......Help!

    If the blue wires in your first (hand) drawing are accurate, it appears you have a parallel circuit around the two upper meter inputs. I on a phone so it's hard to see the labels, but the two blue wires going into the meter will never see current, because it's easier for the current to flow...

    Anyone have pix of how they mounted solar panels

    Not mine :) several bungies and 20ft of perf angle. P's if you paint your generator to match the van it won't get stolen off the roof. Sent from my Z10 using Tapatalk 2

    Is this a good craigslist deal?

    It all depends on its condition, $5500 is a lot for a 20yr old camper. If it's real clean and no rot I would pay it, but lots of times there can be rot hidden behind the aluminum, check all the caulking and thump around for soggy dead sounds,,vice a solid knock. Also rv appliances are expensive...

    Watches - ExPo Style

    I tried to take a dark pic, the gas lights are awesome. Blue numerals, yellow hands. Like a previous poster, I bought it because it is very very easy to read in all light conditions, even without my glasses. Sent from my Z10 using Tapatalk 2
