Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hey Ben, fitting a swing out awning and having it stable enough for road speed may be a bit of a bastard.

Just wondering how often you would plan to set up and move around and how long in the one place you would be?

The idea I had was since you have the big luggage compartments under the coach you could fit some expandable panel modules, fit anderson leads and it would all set up pretty quick.
A bit like this but a much bigger scale.
If you had sets of three hinged and wired together they would be manageable to drag around.

Just a thought.

Using the RPi zero W with WiFi and camera make the install easy and can be setup
be be recorded with the RPi or sent to PC and viewed on your phone.

There are WiFi cameras for cheap to $$$ out there needing only power.
A router setup for the cameras could do a LAN as I don't want internet
to see them 24/7 but can feed them to net through my Linux system.

You could have four of the Wifi Cameras one each in a browser in a 2 by 2 screen.
even on a tablet.

I also got a few of these to play with. Main bad is no doc's or wrong doc's





There seems to be at least 3 versions of the transmitters. The one they sent
did not match the picture and is a 4 Ch where two others I looked at have the
full 8 Ch's.

I used two of these to send front and back yard cameras to TV's.
with remote switch from HDMI to AV input to see front yard camera then flip
a switch on the box I made I can see the back yard.

Here state side I post that audio and video recording may be going on in
this area. Just to keep me legit.

Here is a shot of the test setup

So, who is that young fellow in the picture?

Pictures are *much* more interesting to look at if there was writing underneath each, telling what is the picture about.

Reading other poster's mind is something I'm unlikely to master and I'm no good at guessing either

That is my eleven-year-old son Zabian
The school system has been wanting me to let him skip ahead a few grades since kindergarten

He takes after my sister she has a photographic memory

I have a 4 year old son and a 20 year old son they are amazing in their own ways also no girls all boys

I'm trying my hardest to get them not to make the same mistakes I did

they all have a lot of potential

I was trying to show that there is a lot of room under there

Also if you look closer you can see that the bus is all aluminum very light for its size

Thanks for your time and interestEdited by BenandAmber 2019-05-11
