Harbor Freight 3500W inverter?

Has anyone used one of these on the Playa? I know my parents use them at the racetrack because they are quieter and cheeper than just about anything out there. The reviews seem to be pretty good.

Re: 55 gallon drums and water storage

Smaller containers is a very good point. That might be something worth looking into instead. Get the smaller cubed jugs. stack them together, save space. Maybe even stack them in the under bed storage in the camper eliminating the need to have someone else tow an extra trailer or try to stack them i...

Re: 55 gallon drums and water storage

the barrels are food grade. the antifreeze is used to winterize and keep the drinking water systems in boats, campers, and motor homes from freezing. If it was any other kind of barrel I wouldn't even consider it. I know alot of preppers have used them for long term water storage. This is where I go...

Re: 55 gallon drums and water storage

grey water isn't considered a hazardous waste as far as I know of, but black water is (at least in the marine world). Just about every boat out there dumps the grey water overboard into the water, and rv's keep it in a tank just to keep from making a mess on the ground. Just about any little trailer...

55 gallon drums and water storage

So working in my line of work I have access to quit a few blue 55 gallon drums that are used to hold antifreeze that we use to winterize boat and rv water systems. After they are empty we usually give them away on craigslist. I was thinking about rinsing out the biodegradable and water soluble antif...

Hola from Seattle!! Virgin Burner (hopefully)

Hello everyone! After moving to the Seattle area to re-find and reinvent myself, I have decided to take the plunge and make a trip (or many) to Burning Man. I am unsure if I will be able to make it in 2019 due to my wifes work schedule. I will be lurking on here, looking for tips, tricks and advice....
