    Leaking windows.... Again !!!!!

The...

    Solar panel for my Toaster...

    I agree with Ken... 80 to 85 watts is min i would use. Having had mine since 2006 with a 50 watt panel I wish I had gone bigger instead of slicing hairs on power used. The other problem I have found out is many of the places I like to camp don't have alot of sunlight...ie its in the trees...

    Air Conditioner The Scoop On 550 Ac

    Hi all Use my 550 with ac in Yuma AZ... gets about 119 during the day. This is what I have experienced. Keep it under a pop up and tree cover as much as possible. Also keep it on high... when i put it to lower setting it would stop working. Learned this through trial and error. Keeps it...

    Things You Forgot But Wish You Hadn't

    Also to note that better bottles of wine will have built up sediment that is not to be disturbed which is why you gently poor out the wine and have a sediment trap if not. New wine not aged long will not be a big deal to use the heal method :) .

    Your doors are not light and going down the road they bound up an down... the more you travel the more they loosen... If you read my post on the door hinges you will see what I am talking about. I think the only real solution will be expanding the door hinge and adding bolts to top and bottom...
