    Winnebago e-RV Electric Camper Van Concept Has 125 Miles of Range

    Freaking COVID vs adventures grrrrr!!

    No staff due to being out sick and stuff shut down because of no staff. I just heard a local family owned gas station is closed up whole group got COVID. Hell that could be an issue if your in the sticks and roll up on the fuel stop and find it locked up tight.

    Pitchblack Motorsports - 2010 Sequoia rally support and light adventure rig

    The LC is detuned compared to the Sequoia. Its like comparing a big fat over stuffed lazy boy yhat trundles along in no hurry “LC” and a over caffeinated angry soccer mom GMC Yukon hunter “sequoia”. They drive very different and power response is very different.

    Freaking COVID vs adventures grrrrr!!

    Back to my post the shut downs are lack of people to operate not GOV forced shut downs. Very different issue!! Schools will not revert to home school zoom unless staff shortages due to sick staff force closure. School by school basis only. Yeah I have kids in public school. So far our district...

    Freaking COVID vs adventures grrrrr!!

    Yeah sticking with my “safe” activities where I have resources if I need them. Vs any “hold my beer” ideas especially when in places where resources are thin to zero. If I didn’t have young kids depending on me my range of comfort might be much larger.

    Generator ban in California?

    Not cost effective!! I only have 90 hours on my generator over 2.5 yrs of use. I would need about $30,000 in battery equipment to do what my $2100 of generator and transfer switch does. No my solar is grid linked. If I upgrade to the IQ-8 micro inverters possibly next yr my solar setup can...

    Generator ban in California?

    This is reference to generator vs battery alternatives for real power needs for a family not survival minimalist needs. People don’t need a generator for minimalist needs. A big reason we moved from ice blocks in coolers to a generator was due to COVID, keeping food, home office, home schooling...
