Power Inverter Thingy

Bridget's being paranoid again. Just ignore her.

Yesterday’s cliffhanger:  The really cool feature of my van

Behind the bench seat in my van there’s a box attached to the wall.  It’s about half-again as big as a shoe box.  Across this box it says, “Power Inverter – 3000 watts.”  It has two places to plug in and they’re labelled 20 amps.  It also has colored lights for “battery” and other electrical-type words like “output.”  (I’m the daughter of an electrician.  Yes, I know, it is hard to believe.)  Anyway…. this box….

This is a good thing, right?

I think this means I can run stuff like a computer or fan or maybe a tv in the back of my van!  Or maybe a coffee pot!   Hmmm… very handy if I run out of propane.  Feel free to try and educate me about this mysterious box.  Will it drain my van’s battery?  I can’t imagine why it would.  That would make it useless, silly.

The other good thing about my van is the tires are brand new.  Hey, I may have to replace the transmission — it does have 108,000 miles on it — but I bought it under the assumption I will have to replace the tranny.  Hopefully not any time soon.   (I’ve always wanted to use that word tranny.  Sounds like I know automotive stuff.) 

Tow package?  No. 

That will have to be installed.  A subject for a future  post.  I’ve also got to write about simple living and getting ready for fulltiming.  Oh yes, and Why Be a Vagabond, Part 2.  So much I want to share with you….

Let me hear from you.  There should be a comments box below.  If not, click on the title under “recent posts.”
