If my business is with the convenience store, I'll park right up front like any other customer, get in and get out, same as I would any other convenience store. If I'm going to grab a shower, or park for an extended period, I'll park well away from the store (or restaurant), as a courtesy to...

I don't know. You have Trojan T105s and Crown CR150s listed in your post. Two of the T105s would work, at 217 Ah, as long as 108 amps (50% DoD) between fully charging is enough. Four of those would be better for, it works seem, what all you want to do with them. A couple of the crown CR-235...

1800 Watts divided by 12 volts is a 150 amp draw, plus another 10% lost in the inverter process (so, 165 amps). That's a serious amp draw. As the Peukert spreadsheet I posted shows, that will completely drain a brand new, freshly charged 100 Ah battery in .29 hour (17.4 minutes). That's like the...

Reinhold Richard Priebus (is a German name), and his nickname is Reince. He is the Chairman of the Republican National Committee. Anyway, if you take "Reince Priebus" and remove all of the vowels, you get RNC PR BS That's funny right there.

I should add that there are a few locations, mainly Pilots, I think, where there are McDonalds (mainly, but there are others) where Pilot doesn't own or operate the restaurant. In a few cases the restaurant owns the entire property, or part of it. One that comes to mind is the Pilot in...

I thought it as a Trojan 27. A higher wattage Xantrex. <snort> If you want to step up in brands, although I don't know why you would, then it's, from the next step upward, Samlex, Statpower, Magnum Energy, Outback Power, Exeltech. Concord Lifeline is the cream of the crop. Concord also makes...

Before the Pilot and Flying J merger, and well before Denny's started replacing the restaurants at the J, I was kicked out of the parking lot in a J in Salt Lake City by the restaurant manager. This was after eating breakfast and lunch there in the restaurant, and a half hour after dropping $200...

It's hard to beat Xantrex, unless you want to go really high end, like Outback Power, Exeltech, Magnum Power, or something like that. For what we do, Xantrex is hands down the best bang for the buck. As for the Trojan 27-AGM, that's a really good battery, but with a couple of caveats. One is...

That's exactly right. PFJ owns the entire property there. Denny's leases the restaurant space (Clean Energy rents the natural gas space out back). When he said he was going to call the police, I'd have said, "That's fine. And while you're doing that, I'll call PFJ in Knoxville, you know, the...

The final numbers are in. Hillary paid a record-setting $1.2 billion, or $18.32 per vote to lose the election. Trump spent $647 million, or $9.50 per vote, to win the election. Hillary spent $1.3 million of her own money on the campaign. Trump spent $66.1 million of his own money. Hillary had...

I've been doing this a lot of years and I haven't seen that once. I have heard of it, though. It's a very rare thing to have an entire family out in a truck. It's even more rare to find it in expediting, simply because of the nature of emergency freight and the more limiting requirements of...

Happy Birthday! You've just set a new personal record for number of days lived!

Happy Birthday!

That's the thing. A large, open van, especially if it's insulated, the D2 will work, but it'll be running full-tilt boggie most of the time. It's all about BTUs and airflow...

That price is installation labor.

Even at the state level a minimum wage can be iffy. Take, for example, having the same minimum wage in NYC versus Elmira. Whatever the wage, it's gonna go a lot farther in Elmira. I agree that local economics should be the deciding factors. Back when I managed restaurants in Nashville, even...

Breaking News! The Polar Vortex is coming! The Polar Vortex is coming! Except.... NOT a Polar Vortex. :rolleyes: The Polar Vortex is a large area of low pressure and cold air surrounding both of the Earth’s poles. It always exists near the poles, but strengthens in winter. At the North Pole...

Yes and no. They aren't cheap, but they do a really lot of van installations, which can present some unique challenges. No matter who does it, you want it done right.

They are very reliable. They contain high heat and moving parts, so they won't last forever without maintenance and repair, though.
