  • Post in thread: Who is using solar 100% in a vehicle or house?

    Oh, AND, when I was in a very bad situation (don't want to go in details), the "Tribe" abandoned me... (I wasn't asking for any money or anything, FYI).
  • Post in thread: Electricity Question for you experts: Which is better high watts at a short time, or low watts for a longer time?

    Yes, I will be getting the diesel one like you showed me on Ebay. Thanks!
  • Post in thread: Who is using solar 100% in a vehicle or house?

    Was that what happened about his high-top? ? How do you know all this and how much he makes? I believe he gets $ for having the non-profit too, possibly grants, but definitely donations coming to him big time in his own words on vids. What bothered me to see at Jamie's recent van build was...
  • Post in thread: Gold Plated Fuses ? or not?

    I just wonder if it's "real" gold. They seem really cheap for having gold on them. I just saw a platinum one too. I would like to know the difference with all these and which is better in order of the material.
  • Post in thread: Brass Nuts & Bolts - Where to Get Them?

    FYI -The Battleborn batteries "come standard with a flag style terminal post with a 3/8” hole to accommodate a 5/16” bolt and lug sizes up to 2 AWT. Larger lugs may require a 1/4" bolt. All batteries ship with 18-8 stainless steel 5/16 – 18 bolts, BRASS washers, and 18-8 stainless steel nuts...

    I ordered on Amazon. I need it NOW. I am ordering now and things are getting sold out. There was no link on Amazon. Thank you.
  • Post in thread: Electricity Question for you experts: Which is better high watts at a short time, or low watts for a longer time?

    Well, at this time, AC (shore) power, but my system I am making is (2) 100Ah battleborns.
  • Post in thread: Label Maker

    I have an old one bought at Costco that looks like the same labels, and they sell refills. Works great either AC or AA batteries.

    By the way, its Will's website that says its free
  • Post in thread: Gold Plated Fuses ? or not?

    Do you know which is best and better, i.e., silver, gold, platinum, and is there copper? Wouldn't brass be good too?
  • Post in thread: Someone told me to buy these, now what?? Need help with lug connectors

    BUT! I am only here to learn. I didn't come here for anything else besides that. It just occurred to me because (I am receiving emails from someone who is trying to set up my future training) . Maybe I could get some kind of formal training? and learn to help with my current life situation and...
  • Post in thread: THANK YOU AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

    I ate the last piece of cheesecake yesterday. I need a new dessert!!! Mine is low carb though but just as delish!
  • Post in thread: CES - Anyone going?

    Where was that offer and what's CES?
  • Post in thread: Where did the shill go?

    I had someone on a post trying to direct me to a site w/$40 per month blueprints. Is that the same one, bc I see him here still. (I think.)
  • Post in thread: Will. I did not know the ebook is a PDF, the text are too small for me, can I change to the kindle version please?

    Did you order the actual "material" book? Mine came from Amazon the next day and I was able to get the free Kindle for 30 days the minute I bought it. I suggest you buy the actual book so you can use a magnifier on the pages, make notes, underline, highlight, etc. Maybe you can return what...
  • Post in thread: Need Multimeter Choosing Help :-)

    Hello, This is definitely a beginner tool question. Someone told me to buy a multimeter to test a solar panel. I also want to have all the tools I need to go on the road with my solar. I have seen these 2 different types of meters. I've never used either type & would like to know what...
  • Post in thread: Solar rumors, need answers

    Thanks for the detailed response! I have a faraday bag that fits a battery. I'm now thinking of getting an extra battery and storing it in there just in case...
  • Post in thread: Someone told me to buy these, now what?? Need help with lug connectors

    I will re-read your posts tomorrow. What do you suggest buying and where? There aren't brass terminals are there?
  • Post in thread: Solar rumors, need answers

    OK, that's good news then. I won't need to store an extra battery in my faraday bag then?
  • Post in thread: Amazon Sucks Big-Time!

    I have only ordered a couple times before for single items. (Tried to stay away most of my life.) I told them I was filing a complaint with the BBB. I spoke to several people and one FINALLY said last night they would send 2 forms asking for a 20% coupon and for answers of why these...
  • Post in thread: Someone told me to buy these, now what?? Need help with lug connectors

    I added the specs at my original post: 2 Battle born 100 Ah, 400 watts solar, 2000/4000PEAK pure sine wave inverter, Renogy DC-DC alternator MPPT Controller (there are 2 fuses and a circuit breaker in Wills blueprint and I'm adding a fusebox too.) May I ask if you looked at the blueprint? What...
  • Post in thread: Amazon Sucks Big-Time!

    It is shipped to you frozen, and it's grass-fed.
  • Post in thread: Someone told me to buy these, now what?? Need help with lug connectors

    Yes, I see the lugs in post 55 are tinned copper not silver. I will ask you something on that post. p.s. how would you do it differently?
  • Post in thread: Who is using solar 100% in a vehicle or house?

    I liked the idea of learning in-person in a real-life situation at the RTR (Bob called it mentoring). I liked meeting some new people. I like the idea of caravans formed for people who want that or need that. But what if your mentor is a degenerate and in the "inner-circle"? I know nothing's...

  • Post in thread: Will's Book/free kindle

    OK, so I have to join Kindle it seems. I know its free for a month, but I really won't ever use it and don't want it. I just hate to have to go back and cancel things. I tried to download the free kindlecloud, but microsoft said its not approved to use on my computer?? Go figure. They want me...
  • Post in thread: Amazon Sucks Big-Time!

    So I shouldn't waste my time?
  • Post in thread: To solder or not to solder?

    i have 2 100AH battleborns. Will this change what you just said? If so, what gauge wire do you recommend? (I will attach starting battery LATER.) TY
  • Post in thread: Will's Book/free kindle

    I guess I will just ask a few questions on this forum while I wait...I already know most of what I need, but instructions weren't clear on a couple things. Thank you for helping.

  • Post in thread: Ground Mount Help

    I will be building (someday soon) a system like yours beyond an RV. I would love to see pictures and or diagrams on how to do this safely.
  • Post in thread: Amazon Sucks Big-Time!

    No I didn't hear. That's just.... :-/ messed up.
  • Post in thread: Controller sizing - Help please!

    Have you watched Will's YouTube videos? Have you bought his book? Have you looked at his blueprints, for instance: https://www.mobile-solarpower.com/4000-watt-24v-solar-system.html
  • Post in thread: Amazon Sucks Big-Time!

    #climatechangeisalie commiefornia, and it's PORTABLE. Thank God I am leaving ASAP. I only got 2 items (if they deliver the cutters) out of about 30+ they cancelled.
  • Post in thread: Electricity Question for you experts: Which is better high watts at a short time, or low watts for a longer time?

    Well, I am currently in the sticks and bricks and (only?) have several electrical sources for heat. (In my vehicle I will use a diesel heater.) I was just trying to see how I could save on electricity since they charge an arm and a leg. I only use the heaters less than a foot away from me in...

    Yes! It says should be here tomorrow by 8pm.n DIDNT CHANGE - OH WELL!
  • Post in thread: I bought this jumpstarter/air compressor, should I return it?

    P.S. Also, would I then need jumper cables long enough that reach my battleborns and just jump start just like you would from vehicle to vehicle?
  • Post in thread: Amazon Sucks Big-Time!

    oh yes, but I could probably buy a propane stove? IDK, SMH
  • Post in thread: Someone told me to buy these, now what?? Need help with lug connectors

    But those are tinned copper not silver OK, so let me see if I understand you JeepHammer: (By the way, I will be building this at home, and plan to go full-time on the road with it VERY soon - if I can get all the parts. As it is the Renogy controller is on back order until early Dec. after...
  • Post in thread: I bought this jumpstarter/air compressor, should I return it?

    I bought this from Costco last month (I think its the correct one). I like to have it for all my tires (bike, scooter, car, ball) and in case my starting battery needs a jump. It was $99. I will be making my own solar system with 2 battleborns 100ah each. I am wondering if I should return it...
  • Post in thread: Amazon Sucks Big-Time!

    Well, they gave me a credit for the 4/0 cutting pliers I actually received. LOL ??? The level of incompetence of these people astounds me. Any way, I was able to finally order the fridge, no extra money to have to pay. I didn't see a $30 credit for my trouble. Oh well. Let's see if it...

  • Post in thread: Update on the Water Damage

    Absolutely!! "Going" in a bucket in your own home is NOT fun. (I expect to go in a bucket camping though!) Baths are such an awesome luxury too. When I go on the road, I plan on buying a portable blow up bath tub too or checking in a hotel weekly(?) to get my "real" bath. Daily sponge baths...
  • Post in thread: Amazon Sucks Big-Time!

    I started to fill out the BBB form today, but instead tried one more call to Amazon, which turned out well...I hope!
  • Post in thread: How do I connect 5 solar panels?

    Safety is #1 priority for me. But if this is true, why is @Will Prowse not doing it? (I would like him to please address this when he gets time...) Do you know if Will did a video on this?
