Need a power chill pill


I need a power chill pill for my wife . Something to stop her from using the excess power in the batteries . It's the 240 side she uses . Washing machine , toaster , jug , wax melter ,  massager , drill battery charger , she drives me nuts . Lmdo . Thanks m8 for a system that works beyond my expectations.

Hi Dibs smile

I am not sure why the comment on the naisayers confuse.

I think you have demonstrated that plenty of solar 1100 watts and good batteries 400 Ahr lithium will give you power for the other half to use as they like !!!biggrin This is just a good pointer for others who want more really. Thanks aww

Fry the inverter.
OR leave her at home mate.
She a house person.

Imagine what she'd do on a yacht at sea for a week with NO power.
Lhe thought makes a man chuckle hey.

Actually it's solely YOUR fault.
Fancy putting all that crap in a van which most use to "GET AWAY" from so called civilisation.
Chill out a little.

Somebody hasn't told her.

Washing. Give her a 20 ltr bucket and a paddle.
That MAY trigger a thought or two. MAY do.

Fortunately you belong to a small minority Macka, Because you say it's true doesn't mean it is...no

Yep Paul.
EVERYBODY... Got their own. Individual, Opinions.
Thank god.
There ARE a lot with my outlook too.

I met thousands in my Yachting days. Worldwide.

Not all want to drag a woman around full time
when they pretty useless outside of bedmaking, vacuuming, and cooking.

I'm an individual from the late '40's.
Women are for a bit of comfort. not your life.
with very few exceptions.

I found mine at 58yrs. AFTER I'd done most of my wishes.
She's an individual too.
Loves sailing. (Better astral Nav than I too with charts and sextant.)
In car too. A KEEPER.

But a bit different if they been crook I suppose. Responsibilities.

I could never see the point in making a van into a house though.
Just comfortable and easy to manage.

Keep most of your crap in a container. shed.Mate's place.
and just drag with you what you need for current climate.
Same with Yachts.

More room in van. Less weight to drag around. =
Smaller van,tug. easier to handle. and better economy all round.
Plus. Plus.

Bit dumb dragging your whole world round. with you
ALL the time.
when you only on the one little island.

Unless you have a REAL good sortout first.
and get rid of most.

As above mate.
Individual choices.
We all (Hopefully) happy with our own.

IF not. get out and find yours.
There's a LOT locked into a NOT wanted relationship.
Have NO idea why.

YOU know where the door is. (NOT necessarily YOU,. just in general.)

I've been bringing up myself as an individual since I was around 6\7 yrs.
Plus younger brother.
Know no other.

So not really my fault with my reasoning. It's ALL I know.

Pretty sexist disgusting comments Macka, not that I am surprised with so many of your comments not even close to truth and fact!!!

Most of the woman that I know are a lot more than bedmaking, vacuuming, and cooking. 

Trying to blame your upbringing for your views is a cop out Macka.

My old motorhome had 4000 watt inverter . But the cables and batteries couldn't supply the load ! Got sick of trying to explain why you cannot boil the jug, toaster, and maybe electric frying pan on at the same time ., I fitted a circuit breaker on the main AC side to limit load . So it tripped every time more than toaster or jug was on ., Argue with the bloody circuit breaker !! NOT me !! After 2 or 3 goes the message got through !! Breaker was in EASY reach to reset . The DC breakers where under chassis nr batteries . 8 X 6v .. The thing is we had 3800 generater !!! Some take time to learn . Oh gas stove also !!

I was going to answer to what Mackay wrote but I just couldn't be stuffed . I wonder if he has sailed all over the place of he's still playing with his toy boat in the bath tub .

Well said Aussie Paul biggrin

You know I am a person from the mid '40s and I do not think like Macka. I have a wife of nearly 50 years and we drag each other around TOGETHER AND IT IS OUR LIFE. smile Lots of people on here do it too.

One of the things I have learnt over the years is to learn new ways of thinking and living and do not live in the past too much. Macka seems to be stuck there and should consider his options.furious

ALL my choices ARE mine.
not circumstances.
Including opinions on ladies

 

I RESPECT them as such.

Step back for one. Give up seat.  Open doors.etc.

ALL the old school from the past, that we were taught.

It's just that FEW would. Willingly. WANT to, or do.

do what we did. Shooting Fishing. Sailing.

work away. get pissed. Have a knuckle in a dispute instead of the woman thing.

They were alright for 'home duties" and dancing.

Mostly.

I went to Alaska to work on pipelines (CJB's).

Sahara Desert and down the Atlas mountains for same.

Contracting in Sth Africa and Tanzania for a while.

Motorways. North Sea Gas Pipelines.

15\18hr shifts 7 days a week.

Up to knees and top of tracks in mud mostly.

 

Show me many women who'd share that life.

 

MY choices. Loved it.

NOT a womans life methink's.

I prefer MY own space. with others occasionally.

Yep I have sailed a fair bit. had first boat at 12 yrs. A little GP 14 Sailing dinghy..
Then a Star. Olympic 2 man in those days. (By Myself)

I instructed a few too.

Look 'em up.

Learned to sail by myself. Done it all my life. till late '60's.

I couldn't really give a rats ar-e what others believe.
You have your beliefs. I have mine.
Which I am happy with.

Gawd.
Some like nasty comments don't they.

Never mind. Takes all sorts.
Including singular ones.

                                          =======================

Hey Jaahn.

MY options suit me fine.     Thank you.
We all different.

I don't like queers either..

(didn't vote yes.  Unless for a bullet.)
