    Great points! We need Supervstech to get us some of those off the tops of the poles so Will can reverse engineer them on a video to see how they work 24/7! [Just kidding!]

    Wow...so pathetic. I think I know who you mean? Please expound if you will....

    Glad I rarely eat corn, soy, or wheat. I am ketogenic mostly. And the highest levels of glyphosate are on corn and soy...thanks Roundup/Monsanto/Bayer.
  • Post in thread: Will's new Renogy DC-DC set up - questions

    Hi everyone, I am new here, but watch Will's videos all the time. (Thank you Will!) , I am trying to purchase everything for Will's latest set up (Renegy dc/dc, 400 watt 12v, two Battle borns 100ah, 2000/4000 inverter, etc). I am buying everything on his blueprint. I am confused about how...
  • Post in thread: Someone told me to buy these, now what?? Need help with lug connectors

    Yes, 2000 - 4000Peak inverter, I am starting with just 2 100Ah battleborns in parallel now, later will add starting battery (EDIT: so it won't be EXACTLY in the beginning - I will hook to starting battery when its in the vehicle, then it will. Sorry for any confusion.)

    i only ordered ONE thing though...today they estimated the middle of december when in stock
  • Post in thread: How do I connect 5 solar panels?

    It can wait Will. I was going to add a 5th panel to your blueprint. Someone here thinks we need to individually fuse 3 panels to be safe I believe?

  • Post in thread: Solar rumors, need answers

    So, some people on a DLIVE chat say producing solar equipment produces a lot of pollution. Also, after an EMP, batteries won't work some are saying. Also charge controllers will be shot. Any feedback? (I have a Faraday bag, but hard to get in a battery and can't use the battery if its in...
  • Post in thread: Will's Book/free kindle

    Thanks for your help. If there's a mod that closes threads, I think this one can close.
  • Post in thread: Amazon Sucks Big-Time!

    ...just received the cable cutters. Hey guys, I am looking for things on Ebay now instead (I really wanted to support Will on Amazon but...) and I am not sure about some items if they're the same. @Will Prowse is there any way you could possibly put the links to Ebay for your 400watt Renogy...
  • Post in thread: Who is using solar 100% in a vehicle or house?

    If anyone can figure out your problem, Will Prowse, I think it's you! You are such an inspiration! Question: Why aren't you 100% off the grid (not connected to the grid)? I want to do that in the future, and want to follow you how to do it in a small home! Thank you Will. You have...
  • Post in thread: Update on the Water Damage

    I wrote him a check and signed a contract...I think there was something really fishy about what happened. Can I cancel the contract?
  • Post in thread: Need Multimeter Choosing Help :-)

    Thank you!
  • Post in thread: Solar Security Camera - What are your thoughts? Soliom S90 Review

    I just stumbled upon his channel yesterday. I don't follow him or any of the ones you mentioned. Not my speed/type. He DIDN'T give a good review though. Will Prowse seems to be one of the few that give impartial reviews.
  • Post in thread: Idea for WIll

    I think he is currently working on a book to do this.
  • Post in thread: Amazon Sucks Big-Time!

    I had the white one in the cart for $29.99! Now it's back in stock, but costs $44.99 just a few days later! I just won't pay that out of principal. That's a 50% mark up! Maybe they think I'm rich because I spent so much over a couple days to get my solar system supplies. I feel like they...
  • Post in thread: Need Multimeter Choosing Help :-)

    Thank you! So that one will do both. Great!! I was wondering if it worked without bluetooth (which I won't be using) so thanks for answering my question. Just to clarify, I can test a solar panel output with this one?
  • Post in thread: Need Multimeter Choosing Help :-)

    What exactly do you mean by cheap beater?
  • Post in thread: All-In-Ones/ Portable Power Stations / Panels, Etc. New Year's Sale

    Rockpals is having a big sale with additional coupons: https://www.rockpals.com/pages/deal?_ke=eyJrbF9lbWFpbCI6ICJtcnNzYW50YTJAcHJvdG9ubWFpbC5jb20iLCAia2xfY29tcGFueV9pZCI6ICJKVkt5SjQifQ== Note: Some come with panels and some are sold separately. I bought a heated vest and it came the next day.
  • Post in thread: 12v Fridge

    But Will says to size the SCC fuse by multiplying the SCC amps times 1.25 in his book. So, ^ are the saw horses bolted to the side of the van or stored inside the van? Also the MC4 connectors need to be 4-1 like in Will's diagram...
  • Post in thread: 12v Fridge

    P.S. how would you mount the panels to the side on the ladder so they can be put up and down?
  • Post in thread: Amazon Sucks Big-Time!

    Everything I ordered had free shipping, but this is good for people to know.

    @Justin Laureltec The links are for 750A, but I found the 300A on your website, thanks again!

    Great idea about the faraday shed! Thanks!
  • Post in thread: Update on the Water Damage

    What do you mean by a lien release? Do you mean after the job is completed? I postdated the check for tomorrow when it is supposed to begin too.

    If only people followed THEIR OWN RULES.
  • Post in thread: Amazon Sucks Big-Time!

    My Amazon account was frozen due to unusual activity, possible fraud, but there was NOTHING different from the day before when I received Will's book, and they STILL sent me panels and pliers after that. I DID ask for U.S. supervisors. I think I spoke with 6 or 7? of them. I don't hold...
  • Post in thread: How do I connect 5 solar panels?

    Is it not just one string in parallel here? https://www.mobile-solarpower.com/simplified-400-watt-fewer-wires-and-alternator-charging.html I am still learning and didn't see what the definition of a string is. I don't need to add the 5th panel.

  • Post in thread: Amazon Sucks Big-Time!

    Thanks, I will check them out! It took me 3 full days online making sure I had everything I needed for this project, then the next day trying to straighten this out. I need to leave CA A.S.A.P. I wish this was easier. :cool:
  • Post in thread: Someone told me to buy these, now what?? Need help with lug connectors

    That is good to know about NAPA. I will check them out. Do you recommend all the terminals be welded or just the heavy duty ones? I have red duct tape. I just found some rosin core solder from Walmart I never used. (don't have the iron though.) I will practice on some wires. What is the...
  • Post in thread: Amazon Sucks Big-Time!

    We were discussing alternatives to Amazon and their monopoly.
  • Post in thread: Amazon Sucks Big-Time!

    Amazon did NOT make me whole. I only received 2 items out of about 40? items. (And maybe I will receive the refrigerator). They have no intention of doing that. I don't believe they even have the competence to do that. I've spent hours on the phone with them. It's been almost a month. It's...
  • Post in thread: Amazon Sucks Big-Time!

    ^^I just saw another store closed (Bed bath beyond), Rite Aid closed before that, other business before that near me. Sears and Radio Shack-yes, I miss them too.
  • Post in thread: I need help selecting a busbar size

    In Will's blueprint there is only 1 of those, so where (and why) would I need two?

    Happy to see this - mine have been shipped! Thanks Will.

    This looks like a great deal with 20% off after spinning the wheel. https://www.rockpals.com/products/rockpals-2000-watt-super-quiet-inverter-generator Does anyone have any experience or opinion of this gas generator?

    Bulrush, You just reminded me of a clock I was told not to touch when I was about 3 or 4. Of course no wasn't the answer I wanted to hear. I got electricuted too, LOL! I wanted a chemistry set too! P.S. a dragon, LMAO
  • Post in thread: Battle Born Battery (NEW) Terminal Tarnished? Need Advice

    I finally received a response from Battleborn Batteries. (12-1-19 at 9:00 pm - five days after sending them an email) "It looks as though a bit of epoxy got on the negative terminal and this should in no way effect the battery. If you would like to take some steel wool to the brass terminal...
