"DUI high output ignition"? Sounds like a Coffman starter that uses a breathalyzer... I didn't think that would ever get invented!

Never bought an RV I didn't make, so I guess someone else will boil my water then.

soooooo looks like the made-in-China heater is the winner! because no one else showed up. Do you have a better alternative cobratom?

If you don't have room to store 1/4-mile of straps, there's something called tracgrabber that might dig you out- Basically a block of rubber that gets strapped onto the tire that acts like a paddle to push you out of a mess, at super low speeds. I first saw the concept in a video of a Thai guy...

One issue that might complicate things is when solar panels of dissimilar voltages are combined, performance is usually stuck at the capacity of the least productive panel. If you have the same portable panel as the one you fix on the trailer, then you can choose to run the mounted panel alone...

I've installed Diode LED 12/24v. strips and fixtures in homes and stores for years. The company moved to Reno a few years back, but still makes excellent products; reliable, consistent and well supported. https://www.diodeled.com They also make a few different dimmer/control modules that are...

Electricity = energy = work Plan out your system and you can skip the work of dragging around batteries.

R-22 from polyethylene foam? At R-3 per inch... that's 7"+ thick walls? That seems like a stretch, are they using magic foil (refletex--The insulation that isn't lying because it's too thin to measure)? Otherwise, the huge, bed-sized overhang looks interesting, though the illustration shows...

"This almost comes across as an AI BOT.- A fluff piece…" Sure, really basic information about common tech that came out 27 years ago.... and people don't seem to get how it works, or feel that physics is probably just someones' opinion. If fluff can get my 3-ton vehicle another 10mpg, get me...

What's the foam you use? any idea what the R-value is?

Hang it underneath! You'll need an AGM or Gel battery, but it's worth the extra cost to be able to mount it sideways. I've had an AGM hung between my frame-rails for years (in a vented, drainable, steel box), fairly close to the starter battery and super-low and centered weight. Unless you drive...

It's probably worth saying that a Hybrid is not an either/or arrangement of motors. Yes, many are programmed to run the electric motors only at low speeds, but they don't automatically shut off above a certain speed. The electric drive both adds energy to the ICE drivetrain, but captures that...

Personally my acceptance of both really expensive vehicles and rolling software experiments is bottoming out. It's probably worth saying, though, that in other parts of the world, EV's are not the fastest and most expensive things on 4 wheels, they're at the other end of the scale. If US...

Nice! you know how to break 'em! Do they make lockers for the Armada? Aftermarkets are pretty rare for the Frontier, my hat is off to your dedication to the platform. I keep on being surprised by the things that don't break my truck-

Not wireless, talks to your phone, from Amazon, but likely a different animal: Look up SensorPush HT1 Wireless Digital Thermometer/Hygrometer for iPhone/Android. Otherwise look for scientific instruments instead of commercial goods, likely much more reliable-

Sooo, if your 10th grader has the checkbook, don't you think it's possible to by the new defender and drop $30k or less to have it clad in the skin of an old one? Dimensions are pretty similar save the height, but that may be due to the increased ground clearance... I guess I've been looking at...

"I'm not fast (like Verkstad), but I do bad work" I'm guessing you're using the DC-DC to compensate for the lackluster alternator output? if not, skip it and use properly sized cables--they don't break. Your starter battery and the AGM have the same charging profile, so you can use an automatic...

Of course, it's called a lighting circuit or a pump circuit. If you work backwards to the fuse panel, you can design it to work well & safely. Start with the watts each device on a circuit needs at peak draw, add all those together, divide by the voltage (nominal-for autos usually 12-v.). 4 x...

https://usa.recgroup.com/sites/default/files/documents/information_sheet_rec_alpha_pure-rx_series_en_web.pdf?t=1705629665 226 w/m, made by REC in Singapore, commonly cited as being one of the most durable panel-makers around. https://www.solarreviews.com/blog/rec-solar-panels-complete-review...

Small space won't equal 1000 watts. If the weight isn't a big issue, ground/roof mount panels probably produce the most power per square foot. I've had a REC panel on top of my truck for a few years, no issues with all the crap roads I've been on. The frames & glass on these are really robust, I...
