  1. I just installed a 200w mppt kit from renogy. It works very well. The controller was a little bigger and more expensive than the pwm model but my buddy who installs solar recommended it as a better product. https://www.renogy.com/renogy-200-watt-12-volt-solar-starter-kit-w-mppt-charge-controller/
  2. Here's is a picture of the bracket I had made. It works damn well
  3. We jelled ours red to dim it and not mess up night vision.
  4. I was kicking around on the internet and found a Toyota Coaster Motorhome. From a simple search it seems they have been making them since 1969 and they are quite popular in Australia. At around 6.5 meters they are about the same size as our little MH's. I don't now what it would take to get one here but I kinda want one.
  5. We have a microwave in our rig and it works nicely to reheat leftovers for a roadside lunch on the way home from a trip. On the way out we have a small crockpot that lives in the sink and runs off our inverter. So nice to have a hot meal ready if you are doing a long drive that day. I absolutely agree that a meal cooked over an open fire is much better than nuked food but as an ex chef I don't like to spend my vacation time cooking.
  6. You are right, we see a lot here in California. This was our neighbor on a recent trip to Pismo We had to change sites for the next nite and here is a picture of a different neighbor. We love our little Dolphin and are looking forward to heading to Jalama later this month.
  7. I have not seen this before but they are pretty cool. found one for sale in south carolina http://asheville.craigslist.org/rvs/4634532738.html
  8. If you want to camp at the state beaches I believe it cost $35-$40/ night but they aren't going to have hookups. Camping at the beach around LA will cost you at least $60/night
  9. Here is the frame I had made (looks a lot like the one from the link) and it gives my roof a very slight curve. It cost me about $250.
  10. Sounds nice. Let us know if the Spam Museum is worth the trip, I have Samoan friends that would love to go.
  11. We don't remove the cut out either. Our mattress was horribly uncomfortable so we put in a piece of plywood and had a custom mattress made. It was a little expensive @ $377 but is soooo much better. Here's a link to the site we used http://www.mattressinsider.com/memory-foam-rv-mattresses.html They were friendly and helpful and we are now sleeping much better. Also we had it in about a week.
  12. So today I finally got around to hooking up the stereo to the reverse lights so that the stereo turns automatically to the reverse camera when put into reverse, what a nice feature. Also got my tach installed. Waiting for the new mattress ( the old one is super uncomfortable) and put on the vent covers over the new fantastic fans. Trying to get ready to install the new graphics where the old dolphin logo was.
  13. I drink maté. According to My Argentine friend it what the gauchos drink!
  14. Yup I bought a supposedly top of the line window 8 machine and Vectorworks would crash it on start up. I picked up a mac and am so glad
  15. Thanks for the responses. On my bike you can't change the flasher but what you say makes sense for the Dolphin.
