=( so it has to be a generator then? That's too bad, it's hard to find really cheap good diesel generators. I'm not too fond of the idea of using dino fuels [and I know that's the wrong term, but it sound better =) ]. I was considering the possibility of bolting a windmill onto the back...

Okay, well, turns out there may be a chance of getting after all. That brings up a whole lot of problems with the whole electrical system again =( hmm,...anybody think it might work to just put up a windmill when we stop? I doubt it would do much...but in a big bus there are deffinitely power...

Well, I probably won't be using the Kia for any long trips, anyway. Terrible fuel mileage. Somewhere in the mid-20s I think. =( Good idea with that dry ice thing. Not sure about the price of it, I'll have to follow your link. Thanks for that =) Now that I think about it, I might actually be...

Well, actually, the Kia is just a temporary car until I can get a van, but whatever...and this IS the planning!

Maybe I'll just give up and get that little lighter plug cooler and just put some ice into it in the morning... Putting a little generator with a muffler under the car might work, but it wouldn't really be worth the effort... I'll probably just put the whole thing in the freezer overnight, with...

Oh, I guess I forgot to mention, hehehe... that I'm actually going to have to put off getting a van or something for a while. So, until I can get one, I'm going to have to use a little Sephia gasser. Which means that I'm really deffinitely not looking at generators as a practical option. So a...

Okay, well I finally decided to cave in and try to find some 12V minifridges. Now, I've looked at some before and I have to say that that's why I was hesitant...that price... Well, with a whole lot of looking and a whole lot of rejecting- luckily I was only looking for a pretty small thing, so I...

Well, I'm hoping to get a cheap or free minifridge from Craig's List (meaning that I really don't have any specifics on the fridge itself yet because I don't even have it). If not, I could just pick up a $150 one from WalMart or Target or something. A 12V would be nice, but I doubt it would be...

Well, everything's been downgraded since last night. Having some problems getting the bus (well, not actually getting it, that would be relatively simple really, it's just that some legality issues have been solved and the bus came up on the losing end :frown: ) So, it's down to a van...

Well, we'd rather keep things simple, reliable, and also as cheap as possible. Supplying this much power for such a long periond of time isn't something that's very friendly to our fuel supply with a generator, either... Thanks for your opinions, but they really aren't what I'm looking for...

I was planning on running the bus on WVO, Biodiesel Start/Purge, but I'm hesitant to buy a separate generator because 1) It'll eat up our fuel supply (Making biodiesel on the road isn't an option, I don't want to have to haul Methanol around. And nobody as of yet has volunteered to sell us...

Hey, (yeah, I'm back, and you'll find my questions as strange as ever), needless to say I've got a question. Supposing I could get free or very cheap appliances (AC, unfortunately, but cheap) to put in a bus for five or so people to drive around the continent...how could I get a small power...

I didn't say I was doing something new, hehehe... I just said I need help doing it ^_^

Thanks You! ^_^ The reason I'm trying to stay away from solar electric is because solar cells can suffer extreme degradation, and since it is not a mechanical source they would be extremely hard to repair if damaged, and in many cases they need to be replaced every few years. They are also very...

I expect so! hehehe... Which is why I say it's not exactly what I was looking for. I have no idea what the name of the device I'm looking for is, but I heard about it a long time ago on HGTV, I think it was, on a show called Extreme Homes. A man was demonstrating his extremely energy...
