    I’m cleaning out the passenger step side box. It’s been full of junk and water. Scraped the grease off bottom, looking for drain holes. I blocked them off when I made new brackets out of c channel. No wonder, Lol. Got to drill a couple holes. Gonna put all my oil / antifreeze and air hose in there.

    CB4DE213-5E20-4014-B977-EB35266E671B.jpeg This is what’s under my bunk.Its a full size bed. All kinds of stuff. I’ve been digging crap out. Even got a set of Electric heated mirrors. Got them for a friend at the junk yard. He never did get them. I carry 1 cheap mirror, just in case. I’ve had to use them twice over the years. I’m going to straighten this mess out. Can’t find anything when I do need it.

    Thanks, that’s good to know. I see they have a hole already in the floor, with a plug in it. Looks too far off the wall though. Probably have to have to drill a new hole with my step bit. I took my cabinet out, want to mount inverters on the wooded bunk wall, keep the wires out of the way.I got 2 inverters,1500 and a 1000, so 4 wires to run. I think they’ll all fit inside the 1”’heater hose. Put a hose clamp on both sides. Good enough.

    While I understand you have the inverters, would one good big one be a better solution?

    I went to Streakin Beacon today for a wash. It was about 50 degrees outside, and after they were done and I drove about 40 miles down the I-5 I happened to look to my right and saw a crack in the windshield that wasn't there before the wash. Pulled into a rest area, and there was a stone crack just below the wiper blade that I didn't know was there. I guess the hot water from Blue Beacon was just hot enough to crack it. I wasn't happy.

    Speaking of bacon.

    I’m sure it would be better, especially since the prices have came down so much. I bought these, along with a 600w a while ago at Pilot. They were crazy cheap, discontinued. New ones are the same thing, just different cases. On the other hand, having 2, if 1 goes bad, still have 1 that works. Good for now, I’ve got so much stuff, trying to use what I’ve got, plenty of projects and supplies to do them, before buying anything else. Holds true for the house also. Got everything, exempt time and energy.

    The other thing is, I only have 3 batteries. Eventually I’ll probably get a 3000w along with a 4 th battery
