  1. 3000 watt Inverter

    Nice sounding unit, might look into those. It's bugging me that the cheap minisplits around claim only to use a kilowatt in cool or heat mode but want a 220-240 hookup. Ppl say those "good old days" window ACs with R12 refrigerant were powerful at cooling and efficient, but I guess they forget...
  2. 3000 watt Inverter

    You know what though, you don't really need to involve an inverter here, just get a bigass electric radiator fan at the wreckers and jumper cable it to your vehicle. I had a sitch the other year where I had to work in an unventilated 12x25 outbuilding in height of summer, and a regular boxfan...
  3. 3000 watt Inverter

    I think you should get a catalytic propane or coleman fuel heater, a propane or coleman fuel cooking stove that run off small bottle. Boil kettles for washing dishes etc. Just stick your water heater on for a bit when you want a shower or enough for a scrub down in a tote if it hasn't got one...

    Riffing on that... "That was a really anemic comment buddy, must be all the bleeding you do at the gas pump."
  5. Removed rear seat and now stuck with a vent that opens when driving

    Tuna math: backseat delete = 25HP Octopus math: Momentum increases with the square of velocity, so we need to obtain the exact mass, and the displacement per unit time in order to ... .... ...
  6. Very expensive to insure the Maverick

    My paperwork came in... yeah looks like there's some across the board 10%-ish rise since last renewal. Then my snow tire discount dropped off because I haven't actually got snow tires for the new vehicles yet as it's between seasons so nobody has any. Then also individually, my Versa I was...

  12. Hybrid Towing MPG master thread

    Best bets to get 22 or better are gonna be popups, hard or soft (Tent or hardside) that stay low profile. Or a small travel trailer under 8ft width where the slipstream of the Mav hits a surface on it tilted back 45 degrees. Also things like a flated topper might help to keep the airflow "high"...
  13. 2.5 L Atkinson motor Hybrid has Solid Lifters.

    Yeah they have been developing their collection of baggage a lot lately in my view.
  14. 2025 Hybrid. How do you decide when to change the oil?

    I mean it's even a bit slap dash, you could put it on the ramps, drain half, top up to full with kerosene, leave it to soak a couple of hours, start it and idle a couple of minutes, then drain all that overnight... (Prolly not great to do a kerosene flush in the main, but it's a good "try as...

    Pretty much the only reason I am "here". Or is it.... GDIs to the left of me, turbos to the right, Here I am stuck in the middle with you.
  16. Tire pressure when hot.

    It's probably an artifact of how NHSTA specify the activation floor and the application to platforms which may get differing tires https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/fmvss/tirepressure-fmvss-138.pdf
  17. 2025 Hybrid. How do you decide when to change the oil?

    Have you tried renting a car in the last 2 or 3 years? it's insane. First off they're gonna have nothing available apart from huge SUVs that book at near $100 a day, and secondly they probably want you to pick it up from a different city. So try uber you say, yeah, somehow the "disruptor" of...
  18. Tire pressure when hot.

    TPMS stands for Tire Pressure Monitoring System, it's shorthand to refer to the sensors as such, and assuming I was referring to them is your mistake.
  19. 2.5 L Atkinson motor Hybrid has Solid Lifters.

    I had a car that needed it frequently, and I begrudged it the $10 valve cover gasket every time (Before those viton reusable ones) the only part that was fun about it, was checking I could hit 72mph in 2nd gear to know I did it right.
