It will be more traumatic to have a motorbike accident then having a car accident. Accidents which are incurred during a motorbike accident are much more serious than any other injuries. Bikes, unlike vehicles, have very limited protection. The only real protection is the helmet.

DIY Solar Generator For Your RV

Tom — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 16:48:29 +0000

A Recreational Vehicle (RV) gives you independence from hotel bookings and allows you to change your journey at will. In theory you can drive anywhere you want, but often you are limited to where to park for the night because you need somewhere to recharge your batteries. Even if you use your batteries to power on-board appliances they will need recharging from time to time – usually more often than is convenient! And be warned, regularly draining a battery will shorten its life dramatically. But there is an option available that will give you the freedom of the road, and you can make it yourself easily and cheaply.

RVs can be fitted with gas generators, but these tend to be noisy and smelly. Nowadays solar panels are often fitted to provide all or most of your electrical requirements without damaging your battery, and these panels are very easy to make at home, even for the total novice. Your gas generator, if you have one, can then become a backup – much less harmful for the ears and pocket. Keep it for powering the lights at your next outdoor party!

Mobile solar panels can be made foldable for easy storage, and they are usually quite light and easy to move. A single 4ft x 2 ft solar panel will produce about 75 to 100 watts, which is about equal to a pair of golf cart batteries. A typical 24 ft RV would probably manage on this but it would depend, of course, on your own power needs. Most RVs use no more than 400 watts. Perhaps start with a couple of solar panels, and add more as and when you feel they are necessary. You can get more information about these portable solar generators here.

There are some additional things you will need if you will be driving regularly in hot climates. You will need a solar-powered battery charger with battery temperature compensation to reduce the danger of damaging your batteries. Also, roof-mounted solar panels can get very hot, which can affect their efficiency and can lead to voltage drops. Ensure that your solar panels have a rating of at least 17 volts to overcome this potential problem. Just keep these thoughts in mind when planning your RV’s solar panel system.

There is a good range of RV solar panel kits on the market but these tend to be very pricey. We thoroughly recommend the make-it-yourself route. You will find it very easy, a lot of fun, and literally anybody can do it. And you will save a packet compared with the bought variety. It is very sensible, however, to get professional advice and guidance as you plan and build your solar panel, otherwise you could end up with a system that does not work properly or even at all. Don’t worry, professional advice and step-by-step instructions are readily available if you know the right source, and only cost a few bucks. We believe this is a good investment.

used bike guide

Are you an impulse buyer? When you’re making a big purchase, like a motorcycle, take the time to investigate and save yourself a headache.

TOO MANY CHOICES!
Have a list of your wants and needs so that the bikes you investigate can be compared against your personal needs. Don’t jump at the first option until you are completely satisfied that it is the best choice for you. One thing to think about before browsing or researching is your price range. Think about the cost of items like helmets, fuel and other hidden costs associated with motorcycles. Are you prepared to be responsible for those after you’ve purchased the bike?

READ UP ON IT
When buying a bike there are two options – use a dealer or buyprivately . Both sides have points for and against. It’s really a personal choice but make sure you consider the following: Dealerships can be great in terms of helping you with maintenance andwarranty coverage. They can work out pricing plans and help you get the exact bike you want – as long as you are willing to pay top dollar. Buying privately might take some time in terms of finding the bike you want but it could be worth the wait in terms of the great deal you could make. Decide for yourself which avenue you want to explore, and beware of the pros and cons of each so you can better navigate them.

DOT YOUR I’s AND CROSS YOUR T’s
Always check your paperwork and invest in a vehicle check. If the documents seem fishy or don’t match the information you have about the seller be warned. The last thing you want is to buy a motorcycle that wasn’t authorized to be sold by the owner.

GO SEE IT
Don’t be fooled, plan to spend some time with an experienced mechanic who can give you the inside scoop on your potential bike before you buy it. Make an appointment to see the bike in daylight. Does the bike meet the basic standards of your mechanic? Confirm the vehicle identification number on the bike by comparing it to your documents. Also check the mileage and make sure the numbers add up. If a seller doesn’t suggest a test drive ask for one. You will need to get a feel for the bike before making your final decision. Take her out for a spin of no less than half an hour to a get a good sense of how the bike moves. All these checks will ensure a smooth transition with no surprise.

GUT FEELING
If it seems too good to be true or you just have a feeling in the pit of your stomach, walk away. There are some many resources for buying and selling motorcycles that it won’t be long until you find a new deal to pursue.
