Best Free Camping & Parking Apps

Test post……..Here’s a comprehensive comparison of the best apps that can help you find free camping and parking spots in Canada, USA and Mexico for your camper van. On a recent trip through eastern Canada we stayed at several campsites to save money. The rates were relatively cheap from $18 to $35 per night. But over two weeks that still added up to about $400. Towards the end of our trip we met Katie from Florida who was travelling in a RoadTrek van and she showed us how we could’ve saved money by staying at free public camping sites and parking spots. Katie suggested iOverlander and freecampsites.net and, sure enough, multiple sites came up along our route that we could’ve taken advantage of. These free

Calculating Your Power Needs

Test post…… The most important consideration in choosing a battery is the amount of power the battery will deliver. This capacity is measured in amp hours, abbreviated Ah. (For the smaller portable lithium-ion battery chargers the power capacity is expressed in milliamps or 1/1000th of an amp, abbreviated mAh.) This measure tells you how many amps or electrical current the battery can deliver in one hour. The greater the amp hours the longer you’ll be able to run your electronic devices. However, when it comes to deep cycle lead acid batteries, you have to keep in mind not to go below the 50 percent discharge level. So if you have a battery rated at 24 Ah, realistically you’re only going to get 12 Ah. What

Types Of Batteries

Test post…… A battery is basically a chemical reaction in a box. In a simplified view, the main components are the positive and negative terminals on the sides called electrodes and a chemical solution between them called electrolyte. When you’re drawing power from a battery you’re creating an electrical circuit and causing a chemical reaction inside the battery whereby charged particles called ions flow from one electrode to the other. This translates into a flow of electrons (negative charged particles) out from the battery’s negative terminal through the circuit to the positive terminal, generating electricity through the wires connected to the battery. When you charge up a battery, electrons flow back to the battery from the positive to negative terminal, creating a chemical reaction once
