We used the Sauoki power station for a while then acquired 4 HQST 100 watt solar panels, 2 HQST 100 Ah batteries, HQST 30 amp mppt charger and a Vevor 2500 watt pure signwave inverter these were mounted in truck bed tool carrier with a 10 gauge extension cord to power our microwave.

Yet another blog post

Mr Cheapo,

Thrift stores are your friend.
When we moved into our house we furnished it mostly from thrift stores. The only things we didn’t buy used were upholstered items like couches and our mattress.
We had bedbugs once and that is more than enough.
