I would like to install a little lightweight wall shelf of some sort near the bed - to put the fan, cell, etc in/on. I've looked online and can't find anything. Ideas?

I built my own small shelf, but I do know Lowes has a wide selection, both metal and wood.
The cig lighter type plug, goes into a cig lighter socket. |

I think newer Pods may come with 12v receptacles but you have to install your own on older pods. It's pretty easy if you don't mind pulling the converter out for access to 12v, fishing some wires to where you want to put the receptacle, and drilling a hole to put it in. Maybe not totally trivial, but easy for a lot of folks. Rocket engineering for others. TT

Silent 2kVA Pure Sine Wave Inverter Generator
This silent generator set is petrol powered and differs from cheaper units, in that the engine (which is built to the same design as the market leading Japanese brands) drives a DC alternator. A pure sine wave inverter then converts the DC to a stable pure sine voltage, suitable for appliances including sensitive electronics. No matter what the load is on the generator, the output remains the same.
The added benefit is that the petrol motor is far better matched to the load, reducing overall size, keeping engine speed in line with the load, reducing noise and increasing fuel efficiency.
It also uses a high-speed multi-point alternator that is integrated into the engine itself. This SWISS developed technology reduces the overall weight and size by 25% to 50% compared to similarly classed conventional models, making it very portable.
The generator is powerful enough to be used in a wide range of home, recreational and professional uses, whilst maintaining portability. |

Good solar harvest needs direct sunlight. The more the better. Shade reduces capture. Moving panels into the sunlight and towards the sun may be effort and require a longer cable. I recommend adding a second battery.

Great little dimming USB light. We have two and use them as reading lights at night. With small USB power bank they will run for days or use cigarette plug USB adapter.
I converted one of the little O2Cool 5 inch fans to run off USB also. Works great and also will run for days on battery bank. Battery bank I use: BTW, the USB (5v) to 3v O2Cool fan motor was a fun little electronic project. fred

It was just a malformed link that points to https://www.dieselgeneratortech.com/
It's Chinese spam, but maybe we can figure out a way to hook up one of those 50Kw babies to the back of a pod and sell hookups to the whole campground or small town?! fred P.S. Feel free to delete this. No sense in giving them anymore clicks than necessary.
