As a Hoosier, I appreciate the karmic boost from the floor. When I bought my E-Trek in 2013 I decided to build a 32x24x14 garage for it with heat, hot water, and 30 amp electric. It has been great to...

Re: Advancing Alvar

My inverter can auto-detect the instant-hot system but not the oven or cooktop. If I flip the inverter into power-saver (auto-detect) mode in the wee hours when I drain my bladder, I know the water...

On my Etrek the 5000w inverter is on only when I am using the oven, induction cooktop, or Insinkerator "instant" hot water (for morning coffee or evening tea) ... and AC, which is rare. I keep the...

Re: Advancing Alvar

FWIW, I have the Shurflo Revolution 4008 that Davydd referenced. It is far from quiet, but not horrible. Can barely hear it outside the van. Probably not optimally plumbed - right-angle elbows at...

Re: Advancing Alvar

Forgive me, Davydd, if I have missed this in past posts, but will Alvar have a pressure tank on the water pump to keep it from cycling as frequently? We seem to share a distaste for generator and A/C...
