I don't know if I'd be bawlsy enough to mess with most electrical access points. Touche` to all you who have the knowledge to pirate electricity for your own needs! Seems like it would be a good idea to do a little research in that area.

Now I'm going to be looking for outlets everywhere...lol. The light pole IS a great idea, Thanks!

Yep, I need to try and come up with the funds to pick one up. For now, what I have works and is a total blessing, but I would really like to fix the bugs and make it as efficient as possible.

I love your ideas for a farm in the slabs.... if I make it there before you I might have to get it started...I've always wanted to practice some desert permiculture :-)

no mppt yet...just a cheap harbor freight controller, but it is on the list. You are the second person to ask me that. Why is this recommended for my setup?

20 minutes? I wish!... I draw 3A from my panel at about 40v (peak), so it will probably take close to the full hour for me... if I'm calculating it right. It's still seems all too worth it.... now I'm going to have to remodel the van so I can find a place for a microwave :eek: LOL

I hear ya, though I was just assaulted not too long ago for simply being on someone unmarked private property while looking for my dog. The asshole sucker punched me while I was trying to leave. The county did absolutely nothing. Though, I wasn't shot at and there was really no way of even...

Thanks again! good to know I didn't get ripped off with my battery... Though, 200AH sounds so much better than 114AH...probably because I'm low on power at the moment lol.... That is some good info. I had not thought to break it down like that to figure it out myself. I was always told to...

Wow, awesome pants! Makes me want to go to the closest dumpster and get me a pair!

LOL, rules? I'm rolling on the floor laughing! Definitely no rules, well maybe agreements like: don't fuck with me and I won't fuck with you. But no real rules. Though, if you visit the many sites people have around town, yes, sometimes they have their own rules. There are many different groups...

Here's a few diddies...

Thank you Ped! I didn't realize that there could be such a large difference in AH on a 6v deep cycle. I run a single 12v with 114AH and it cost me a pretty penny, but now I'm wishing I had looked for a 6v setup.... is 200AH common for a 6v battery?

The summers there are cruel. It was still a lot of fun though and the people there tend to be nice enough. I would like to return sometime soon and relive it, hopefully be able to stay longer.

My ex and I visited "The Slabs" not too long ago and it was really cool. We went because it was a place I really wanted to go ever since I saw the movie "Into The Wild" (awesome freakin' movie!). Staying at Slab City was awesome and I would totally suggest it to anyone traveling the southwest...

I'm with smellsea, Guerilla glue is awesome! I always try to keep some in my gear, if I can.... especially when my roof is fabric. As far as Pheonix and his dental floss goes, I would have never thought of that... touche` :-) I would have started looking for fishing line....since it seems to be...

You know you're the man when you do the laundry and it doesn't stay in the washer for a week.

You know you're the man when you walked out of the drug store with more than one bag or tampons....(goodjob)

Lemons or Limes, doesn't matter because I have 'ade'. ;)
