I am married to the mother of all three of my adult children. I have given up on the idea of grabbing a sailboat and visiting the coastal regions of interesting countries. Despite my wife's opinion, I know how to do lots of stuff that I learned before she & I met. Despite having not done them in a while, I still remember how to sail a boat well enough that it is actually a lot of fun.
Aaaanyhow, I am getting off track. While she is still working, and I am "Disabled" (late stage III colon cancer, that is now in remission, but the lasting effects of the chemotherapy include memory loss, SERIOUS neuropathy pain and my body will break out in stupid amounts of sweat, for no reason.
What I wanna do, for right now:
I want to be able to take my wife on trips without having to grab a hotel when I get tired out from driving. I want to take my youngest son to other states and hunt (wild bore is our favorite, as we can hunt it anywhere, any time, because it's an invasive species)
I am thinking a Toyota Dolphin might be acceptable for my planned mission profiles. It won't be difficult to park at home, at the office (where I still work part time) or the closest WalMart parking lot.
My questions about the Dolphin are just a bit odd.
Is there any ability to mount a hitch to it? I know if I put a hitch-mounted motorcycle carrier on it, it would impede the use of the back door. If I used a small trailer, to carry the bike, it wouldn't be in the way as badly.
Next:
Those who run solar panels, in order to operate the roof air unit; How many watts of solar panel do you put up? How many amp hours of deep cycle battery do you carry for this purpose?
Finally:
Has anybody installed a small propane powered instant hot water heater for the shower yet? I'm running an instant hot water heater on natural gas at home and we love it. If there's a way to bring that hallmark of civilization with me, when we progress toward The Objective (shaking off that ball and chain that is shaped like a house, with an address), I would like to keep any reasonably uncomplicated comforts of home.
Looking forward to hearing from you, and receiving advice on the mistakes I am doomed to make because I didn't see the pit, until I'd begun my fall into it.
