    I saw the worlds first electric car this past weekend.

    It's a 1902 Studebaker electric car. Well maybe not the first, but I thought he said that it was the third Studebaker ever built and the only one left. his place is amazing in Jerome AZ. Don Robertson owns the place and he's just collected old cars over the years. He built and races a 1928...

    Needing battery expert to help me figure out my system

    Thanks for the link and info on the LED bulb heat. Ya since there's a thick glass enclosure I'd need something that won't overheat. I'm hoping three of those vapor lights will be bright enough in the 14'x8' trailer.

    All the trailer lights are LED except for the two 12v dome lights that the trailer comes with. But there's a separate small 12v battery on the tongue.

    Thanks, this trailer I'm having built is going to have a retro look and I don't want the standard concession look with fluorescent lighting. I was going to use 3 of these Home Depot vapor lights...

    Needing battery expert to help me figure out my system

    Thanks everyone, i really appreciate the advice. I'm going with eight Trojan T105 6v golf cart batteries and make them into a 24v system. The batteries and pre-made wire is just over $1,100 I'm hoping it all works out. The AC will run on the generator and the gelato case, fridge, water heater...

    Thanks, the inverter I'd get is a pure sine wave one with 12,000 watt surge. I think I've gone back to my original idea I had and run the AC with the generator and the rest of the trailer on batteries. I think that will take me down to 10-15 amps and would get about 3 hours on battery.

    Things are even worse than I thought. I talked to a battery guy and he said I should only run the lead acid batteries down to 50%. That won't even give me two hours with the AC running and I didn't factor in the inverter amp draw and battery inefficiently. So maybe I'd only get 1.5hrs with the...

    Brand New Today

    Congrats on the new car. I jist sold my charging station but you should look into one of them. $500 and you can make it portable just by putting a plug on it. My electrician charged only $75 to come hook it all up and put the plug on it. My work put the circuit box on for beer. This is probably...

    30 Days in Shop

    I'm 99% completed with the lemonlaw buyback process. Mine went really fast, only three weeks for the buyback process once I signed the vehicle replacement letter.

    Ford is doing a buyback on my car, selling Lever 2 charger

    Just got everything ironed out today and should habe my new 150 in a few days. Ford corporate has been amazing. There were some bumps as the dealer said there's no way I'm getting into a F150 and all my lease terms would remain the same. They said Ford credit won't even do it and I also have to...

    Just out of curiosity, what is the Rav4 lease payment and total down payment. Unlimited miles sounds really nice.
