openbox direct just got some more of the 63 quart in their scratch and dent - I just snagged one for $270 including shipping.

I have a few older uni-solar 22 watt panels that I'd be willing to part with cheap. They're flexible, but not self-adhesive, and some need the leads soldered back on. Let me know if you're interested.

I'd go with the inreach. With the spot you can send messages, but receive. The inreach will let you both send and receive short messages. Plus, the inreach uses the iridium satellites, while the spot uses the globalstar satellites (which have less coverage).

harbor freight HF sells a 15' string of solar powered LED lights. Goes on sale occasionally for around $12.

I spend more time sailing than driving around Baja, but I've found that the high resolution satellite maps are MUCH more accurate than any topo mapping data I've found for Mexico. In one case the topo software showed me as 2 miles inland, while the satellite photos not only pinpointed me at the...

second panel If you decide to add a second panel you'll just need to wire it in parallel with the first panel. Based on my experience, a 60 watt panel will supply on average just about half the amount of power you'll need to run the fridge (during sunny weather). Panels are getting so cheap...

There's one on ebay right now for $850 is anyone is still in the market...

Here's a link to the auction I'm talking about right now: http://www.govliquidation.com/auction/view?id=5923799 In case the link doesn't work, you should be able to go onto the govliquidation site and search for Event ID 11378 Lot Number 8725. These are located at Hill AFB.

Agreed. I'm into my van for under $18K right now. I bought a 2001 E350 diesel quigley 4wd for $14K five years ago. It already had a high top installed. I gutted the inside, built my own interior with insulation, cabinetry, and corian countertops, added additional window, waeco fridge, LED...

More of them on auction now in various sizes - anyone interested in a group buy? There's a bunch more of these cases available right now on the govliquidation site, in a number of different sizes. The 32x18x12" size looks pretty useful to me. They're selling these in lots of of around 20...

I agree with your overall conclusions, but I would suggest one correction to your calculation: Depreciation is not linear. It's highly front-loaded. When you drive a new car (or sportsmobile) off the lot it depreciates a *lot*. I bet you could get get that 5 year old sportsmobile for closer...

As of Saturday afternoon they've got both an engel 43 and an edgestar 43 in their "open box" section. Prices aren't as good as the scratch and dent.

Here's a cheap option for a "real" fridge I came across this on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/190772045976?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648 Looks like a vintage equivalent to out engels and ARBs. I thought about buying it myself, but I run on 100% solar for weeks...

The 68 watt uni-solar are available again. If you're willing to deal without a junction box (solder leads on yourself) they're selling for under $100 on ebay. There's also at least one compant selling them with junction panels for $99. Hit me up if you need the link.

Can you use a front-loading fridge sitting on it's back? I've got the opportunity to buy a small 12V front-loading fridge at a really cheap price, and I was wondering if I could just turn it onto it's back (with appropriate mounting, of course) and use it as a top-loading fridge. Anybody know...

Clamshell aluminum box with rubber gasket seal. App. 36" x 20" x 20". $45. Located in salt lake city.

This runs on a disposable propane tank and 4 D batteries. Pretty nice for impromptu roadside cleanup! Used, in good condition. $45. Located in salt lake.

I took this off my extended body ford van. It's about 10' long, 5' wide, with 6" high sides. Made of steel and steel mesh, it's quite heavy (250 lbs?) and comes with a ladder that mounts to the side of the van. Located in salt lake city. Make me an offer.

I bought a pair of swivel seat pedestals, and only ended up using one. They claim to be universal mount (with lots of mounting holes) but I still ended up needing to do a bit of kludging to make it work. $25 or trade/barter. located in salt lake city.
