Re: Solar vs Generator

Yeah, emailed them, we're going to share some details, waiting for them to do an in-depth post. I think they had pretty similar intentions, except they're providing power for an entire bus, which...

Any thoughts on locking chocks, would be a good way to prevent an authorized tow - any brands offer that feature.

Solar vs Generator

Our goal for our upcoming solar egg is to take a solar generator approach vs gasoline generator approach. You have to tote gasoline around, it's expensive, you have to refill it constantly, then you...
