    mercedes ml???

    I just picked up an '07 ML350, W164, 172k miles. Just poking around here to see who's done what with one of these. I'm an old MB wrench from long ago, not up to speed on these much more complex cars but I get the general German approach in design. I like seeing what you guys have done. Hgonzale...

    WTB - 4 solar panels for overland truck - urgent installation

    Good lord, I run my entire house and workshop on half that much PV! But anyway, strongly second Santan, they're in Gilbert, AZ, east Phoenix suburb. Many used panels, larger sizes like you're after, great prices. They only ship 10 or more but smaller quantities can be bought and put on...

    STUPID IDEA

    As someone already said upthread, maybe you haven't seen that many vans lately.

    Never Renogy - App Terrible

    Using Tacoma Truckbed inverter to supply a power station, despite Modified Sine Wave AC power

    That just says they went cheap on their internal power supplies, they assumed their units would only ever be recharged from grid power. Not an unreasonable assumption, what you're doing was not on their screens at all. It's always been the case that whether or not any electronic device will run...

    Overland Solar Tracking System

    Impressive execution. I'm sure there's a market for it in the high-end RV sector, because even though someone can just put more fixed panels on, there is a limit on roof space, and we're already near the practical upper limit of PV cell efficiency, so no big gains are in the offing by that...
