    Interesting CNN Video Report on Unicat Vehicle

    $700k for this unit, with others reaching $3m.

    1.1 lb Oven the Size of a Cake Pan

    I used to do a lot of backpacking back in the ‘70s and ‘80s. At that time, Optimus sold an item called the Optimus Mini Oven. We used this oven on backpacking and canoeing expeditions to bake numerous foods: casseroles, pizza, cinnamon rolls, and cakes of all kinds. The oven was...

    RV Fuel Cell: Is This the Future of Off Grid Power?

    Four times the output of 100Wp solar, almost no sound, works in the dark, fits in the generator compartment. This is available in Europe and Canada. I wonder if it's legal to drive from the U.S. to Canada and have one installed, or if you could have one shipped from Canada. A problem would be...

    I have been considering three possibilities for a vehicle that could serve as an off pavement and rough road vehicle. It also would be capable of towing a 4000 lb. travel trailer for the times we want to set up camp for an extended period and stay put in a campground with amenities. I...

    SMB-W Nissan Van 4x4 Camper Conversion Coming??

    My wife and I made the 2 hour 50 min. drive down CA99 to SMB West today for our first factory visit. Alan is in San Diego for the week, so Jeff gave us the tour and then we milled around through the vehicles for about an hour. Pictures just don't do these machines justice! I asked Jeff what...

    Seat Swivels for F450 Conversion???

    I am thinking about a simple conversion on an F350 or F450 crew cab. The rear seat would be removed and if possible, the narrow center front seat. If that cannot be removed by itself, I would need to remove the fronts completely and replace with two seats, leaving a passageway to the rear. I...
