    So the truck set from Monday morning till Thursday with the Refrigerator, Camera System, and Cellphone booster on. Because of how the EPU is set up the truck batteries are ran down about the same as the EPU batteries. The truck turned the back cab off sometime early that Thursday morning but the EPU still had about 50 percent battery. Also the truck is parked in a very shady area and does not get direct sunlight for the solar to work very good. The solar charges the truck batteries first then it will charge the EPU next. Would had been nice to see how it did with good sunlight but overall it did pretty good. I plugged in the shore power yesterday to finish charging the system back up before I head out Monday. My weekend load got canceled and so I am waiting till Monday to go back out.

    Diesel. TK Evolution. Pretty bullet proof. Hang meat in Phoenix in the dead of summer, or bake a ham in Minot in the dead of winter.

    I got that ordered before all the crazy happened and they somehow kept the same price. I was shocked that it didn't go up but I think it was because of the Volvo Dealer got the quote for me.

    Ha Ha I had a Yahoo name of Siinman back when I first got out of prison in 2002.I used to use yahoo chat a lot back when I first got out and it just stuck. I was a bad kid for many years so it just fit my personality back then. Was quit the sinning person back then. I did 5 years in and when I got out computers where just getting popular right along with cellphones.

    EDIT: sinman was taken so I made it two II's
