Tools and Fixit Stuff

[runnerful]

Hi Pete,

I doubt any BB I can afford would be described as "newer". I'm
concentrating on FC 84-86's (87-89's if I get lucky).

My plan, at the moment, is to rely more on solar than generator
power when boondocking. I'll probably start with 4 panels and 4-6
6V batteries (Trojan 105's) whatever will fit. I spent a lot of
time on the Lazy Daze forum where solar is very popular and there is
a wealth of info on solar, smart chargers, battery choices and care
over there.

If I feel really flush, I'll get gel cells. No maintenance and can
even install them flipped on their ends or sides if necessary for
installation.

The genny will get used, but only when I need A/C or to top off the
batteries. I may also look into installing an evaporative cooler
for hot days in the southwest.

I make jewellery and would like to take my BB to craft shows. Most
of these situations mean parking in an arena parking lot or just a
field. It would be nice not to bother my neighbours with a diesel
generator running. Also, when parked in a beautiful primitive site,
who needs all the chugging and fumes?
