Or do like the Top Gear guys did and hang it from a balloon with a pusher prop on the back.

I got a Winter idea, will take the pod, find the center of gravity, put a pair of Piper Warrior pa-151 tapered wings on, trim tab on the back of the pod and pull it with a Piper 235 Horse Dakota, I think I could get 140 knots out of it at 14 gallons per hour, that might be cheaper than pulling it with my Trailblazer, it does 13 or so mpg. what do ya think ?

Even better, you can afford all the big-boy toys you now want.

Got my Oxygenics chrome shower head today, Santa brought me a nice folding camp saw for Christmas. I also got 3 new popping bugs for my flyrod. Bought a stream light light that fits on you head, that has a green, Hi intensity white, and low level white, runs about 10 hours on 3 AAA batteries, I think that will go in the pod in the spring. I have the factory lift kit I will put on this spring. Donna and I are like a couple of goofy teenagers, planning, looking for places to go on the weekends while we continue to work. Gosh will spring ever get here ? We are worse than a couple of 5 year olds waiting for Christmas.

How about going with a smaller model, like a dorm model, then strapping it down? Cheap, easy to install, and with it pushed to the back of the shelf the area in front could be used for storage during travel.

I am considering installing a different microwave oven then the one that is offered by the factory. I am wondering if anyone else has installed a different brand and model number. I have checked on the web and I haven't been able to find any that will fit in the original space available from the factory. Help!!

2 kw is rather large for a 12 volt system, at that size 24 or 48 volts is better - but that is a problem when everything else is already 12 volts. Just make sure you use very large wires and use at least 2 batteries. If you use only one a large load will cause the battery's voltage to drop. Also plan on using a small inverter of maybe 100 watts for things like cell phone chargers. It will use far less energy internally powering those small loads (keep the big one off most of the time). Don't plan on using the big inverter to power the A/C, you would need a huge battery bank to run it for very long. Most of the *good* large inverters have terminals for direct wiring. Look up the Wind Sun forum for technical help and for good inverters on Wind Sun's sales site.

All of this makes sense to me and is actually a great idea. I have a question about the power rating of the inverter though, did you really mean 2000W? That seems kind of large for the application. Also, all of the inverters I see have a manually operated on/off switch, not terminals to hook up to anything. Did you remove the inverter power switch to wire it up to your rpod breaker panel? Or are there types of inverters more meant for this type of installation? Thanks David J. |

I will certainly do some :
like the door of the cabinet that slap on the corner of the table and made scratchs on .
I have to found something to stop that.
Put the remote for TV on velcro in a wise place to find her anytime.
add velcro on a edge of the shower curtain to stay in place correctly .
Maybe remove the horizontal stores and replace by curtains .
Add a curtain to hide the bed .
and.. find a mirror extensible to put near my bed.
It's the best place for me to dry my hair sit on the bed .. so I need a mirror .
It's juste little things for the moment
