    stove experts wanted - how to convert gas connections

    ok, maybe I found a retailer that would ship to germany. but first of all I need to know the operating pressure of the stove to make sure I can get a regulator for EN417 cartridges. I assume it is above 30/50mbar .. ?

    Wild Camping in Mid Europe

    Wild Camping in Mid Europe

    hiking is no big deal, as long as you respect private roads/paths and properties. country lanes and field paths are in general no problem. MOTORIZED is a different animal though :-( Gesendet von iPhone mit OB Talk

    stove experts wanted - how to convert gas connections

    yeah, will get one of these in the future. still figuring out how to get it shipped to germany as bargain as possible. cause: naturally those types of goods will not be shipped from e.g. amazon or other retailers 'cross the pond, due to other regulations here for fossile fuel powered devices...

    solar/battery/power-supply solution

    nope, just a few thermo-electric (peltier!) fridges are having a thermostat. and they suck more as double the Amps as a compressor fridge. try ro rent one, but save your money for serious equipment. Gesendet von iPhone mit OB Talk

    solar/battery/power-supply solution

    got ya. yes, would be possible. but you'd lose precious power for running important devices such as your fridge, while you could heat water with propane. your 12V compressor fridge won't run on propane ;-) Gesendet von iPhone mit OB Talk

    solar/battery/power-supply solution

    every MPPT charge controller starts its work at a certain voltage. mine at battery voltage +5V due to specs. so with the panels in series it starts earlier to put out charge voltage and current, and longer. or at last at overcast skies. wattage stays the same, of course. but the weird thing...
