Then why is this even open for comment?

Is this where we want to redraw the line? 'Anything I could do when young and healthy I should be allowed to do in the same place with motor assistance.'

Truma leveling app and lego blocks.

One doesn't need that big a system. I run a 2.0 cu.ft. NorCold compressor fridge (my biggest energy consumer) on 200W solar and 208AH GC2 batteries. Usually at 80% in morning (Trimetric 2030 reported) and 100% by 1 pm.

You might want to google "generator quite box" or "generator silencer box" for ideas.

Or bought a house in LA in the '70s.

POR-15 if you want it to last. Spray painting requires special equipment. You can apply it with a brush; paint outside (outgases isocyanates) with a breeze. One of my projects has lasted 30 years of hard use. With any coating, prep is 90% of it lasting.

I've used POR-15 on a number of vehicles with good results, first one 30+ years ago; still rust free in Northern Minnesota. I always use their 3 step process and usually sandblast first, especially if there is any paint left on parts. Never had luck with Rustoleum; no experience with the others...

To answer the OP's original question: Less I need two things: at least 300 mile range at 0ºF, at least 80 mile range at -40ºF. Lacking the first would severely limit my cold weather trips/enjoyment/escape. The second is a must have, not negotiable. I only have one vehicle so it needs to do...

Tesla Model Y 75KW battery (300 mile) weighs about 1200 lbs. and costs ~$13000. I will want something that heavy and that expensive to be well secured; it will take more than 15 minutes and a certified mechanic (current garage rate ~$80/hr). I think all current batteries are attached...

You can get brass caps for the 1 lb tanks that seal.

Sad. We utilized the hut twice in the '70's; bus to Lake O'Hara, scree scramble up to the hut, and then climbed both LaFloy and Victoria. I was blessed to be mountaineering before it became so popular. We were alone in the hut.

Abbot's pass hut? That was an adventure if the wind was blowing up through the hole.

Concerning peeing in bed: - I think Murphy's law applies here. - I cannot easily change bedding after an accidental spill. It involves driving to a laundromat. My mattress is protected. - As I have aged, urination has become a harder and longer process. Standing improves flow and complete...

+1 on the detergent bottle with handle. I added a glow-in-the-dark button to the cover to help find the thing in the dark. A few drops of dish soap and an ounce of water, sloshed around after dumping eliminates smell.

If it got to that point you've not been paying attention. Google 'carjacker shot by victim'.

In Minneapolis (the biggest city near me) there were 644 carjackings last year, in all parts of the city. All of them were violent encounters, most included the use of a weapon, and all would be a legal use of a firearm for self-defense.

Please don't attribute to me words that I didn't write! That is not my quote.

And I can easily double my trucks range by carrying more gas in cans. Carrying extra electrons is not so easy or cheap. It's not only range, it is range at temperature. I have at least 3 trips every winter that could get below 0ºF. I need 300 miles range at that temperature. I loose very...

Have you even know what is legally required for you to claim self defense? The perp ALWAYS has to threaten first (advantage, perp). Otherwise you are deemed the aggressor (aggravated assault, minimum). It has to be a threat that would be recognized, first by a DA and maybe by a jury. First...
