Yes, this is very important. If my setup works, I will be able to cycle the water through the filters without the water actually running. I can just manually switch on one of the pumps and it will force open a pressure relief valve to allow the water to cycle through the system. But with the...

A UV filter kills germs. That is it they make it through the filters. However, I agree that having the grey water sit in the tank is not ideal which is why I will filter mine before it returns to the tank. This isn’t a system for people who park in hotel parking lots. This is a system for...

I plan on having a recirculating shower in my build. I have a unique idea that I think will work. I'd have to bench test it to be sure, but my idea is to have the grey water drain return to the filter line via a second pump. So, essentially two pumps, one pumping from the drain, and the other...

Unemployment is preferable to damaging my health.

They are most definitely unapproved and authorized for emergency use. It is not "approved" by the FDA. And since long terms studies are available, it is experimental. "WHAT IS THE PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE? The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is an unapproved vaccine that may prevent...

Yeah, not so into taking unapproved experimental treatments for something from which I am very low risk.

Well, not sure it is going to happen now. Found out on Friday that my company is going to fire me because I won't take the vaccine. Ugh.

About 650 pounds.

I have been looking at various wind turbines. Most get very bad reviews. I am keeping my eye on the Power Pod. https://www.halcium.com/

I am going to have a system like this.

No, I want to build a camper box that can go on any future pickup including electric. I plan to build it with some batteries, but if I put it on an electric vehicle, I can eliminate the house batteries and just use power from the chassis batteries. This will be an overlander, so I don't expect...

Did that. I actually had anxiety looking at the 6.7. Nightmare. Not worth it at all.

Yes, Crew Cab, 10 speed, Godzilla. It will be an Earth Roamer sized (14ft floor) camper for about 1/3rd the price. I am designing it for living full time and indefinite boon docking. 4,500W+ of solar, grey water recycling system, rains water collection, 40kWh or battery, 10kW of inverters, all...

That is pointless, because that is an average for the entire state of California. I live in a place with about 330 days of pure sunshine. No clouds whatsoever. People near the coast have weeks or even months of overcast.

Yes, it is there. Just because you didn't understand it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. But here is an easy to understand graphic. You can see that the full tracking panel averaged about 610W/hr in winter, and the flat panel averaged 400W/hr. So that is 65% in winter. So, a little lower than I...

I am planning on buying new. So 2021, or more likely a 2022 by the time I finish the camper. It will be a 203 inch wheelbase chassis cab, so plenty of space for a midship tank. It would just be a matter of determining if the 48 gallon midship tank from the long bed pickups fits properly...

https://web.stanford.edu/group/efmh/jacobson/Articles/I/TiltAngles.pdf You are in Canada, I am in Southern California. Latitude matters.

"12h of charging on a 15A wall outlet you got in your house" You get 24 hours when you plug it into your wall like you stated. Actually, there are numerous studies that show how efficient panels are on flat surfaces during winter and summer. You can expect between 70% and 80% efficiency for...

A model 3 gets around 5 miles of range per hour of charging. So, 60 miles in a 12 hour period. Or full charge in 2.5 days. And even if you got 100 miles of range in two weeks on an overlander, that would be amazing! You can spend two weeks in a location, then travel to a new one every couple...

I am planning a build of a truck camper with the goal of putting it on an EV truck someday. I was thinking about what battery size I would need to feel comfortable overlanding with EV. I think I would want around 500 miles of range. Without the help of solar, this would allow for a 200 mile...
