    The guys at Iota charging, have been super helpful. Here are some balanced schematics. Im going to have it as two banks of four batteries joined. That way if ever down the road. Can just have four batteries. Or if one side went bad? I dunno. But nice to be somewhat modular if changes came.

    Ha. Yes. Im not the only one then! The tricky part for me. Is wiring them up. More batteries more connections etc. and the shop that put in the 220 amp alternator. Said I should stow the batteries inside. I thought he was nuts. But temperature fluctuations are no bueno for batteries. And he...

    Its basically $1500. I figure if I ever change vehicles. I can move it with me. It also can be run with an adapter from a 110 outlet as a window ac unit in your apartment too Heatso.com You can go mini split ac units, but they will cost more. And install costs and time. And charging the lines...

    Aw I have a white boxer, is that what you have? It draws 44 amps on full blast. And the low end is around 20-22amps at 12 volts. It puts out 3250 btus. And most window box ac have 5000btu I think. So we will see. The E350 with all the built ins doesnt have too much cubic footage to cool. I...

    *** VAN HAS BEEN RECOVERED*** 4x4 Van STOLEN in Portland OR June 4th

    Makes me want to sleep in my rig...i always think of Gone in 60 seconds. Somehow someway if some one wants your stuff its gone. And I agree with the ex LE guy. Thieves have schedules and prefer easy pickens. Water flows a path with least resistance right?

    The sink fits. With barely any clearance. I knew it would be close. Its a Kraus no radius 9” deep. Counter top is a nice laminate with a lifetime warranty

    Wow. So glad it was recovered. I have a kill switch on my rig. And have often thought of puck locks etc. but Im pretty sure at the end of the day if someone really wants it. They will take it. Thats got to be the worst feeling knowing someone got into your rig.

    Using Rector Seal putty to seal up the pos and neg battery feeds coming up through the floor. Already had existing putty around the other lines. Screwed in a final 3” piece of flooring. This was to make it flush with the cabinet, so if you were to remove the toe kick drawers it will still show...
