BigRobsVan: Shore Power Installation | BRV021

<r>Last year I made a top 10 list of van projects I wanted to complete in 2024. Adding shore power to the van was one of those projects. It seemed like an easy win and once I got around to doing it, it was. “Shore power,” for those unfamiliar with the term, originated with boats […]<br/> <br/> Sourc...

BLOG: Experiencing the Great American Eclipse of 2024 in Ozark, Arkansas

<r>Our trips involve equal parts planning and impulse. Case in point — last year when Susan first heard about the 2024 eclipse, she booked an AirBnB in Austin. Then, a month before the big event, our reservation was abruptly cancelled without notice. We received a refund along with a note that said ...

BigRobsVan: Upgrade Your Old Car Stereo and Your Life | Jataza’s 9″ Smart Screen

<r>last week I received another car stereo add-on screen to test and review. A few months ago I reviewed one from Sjoybring, which I really liked. This one, currently sold by Jataza on Amazon, is actually made by the same company. The most obvious difference between the two units is the shape and si...

BLOG: WD Live is WD Dead… Almost

While most modern televisions have the ability to stream both locally and externally hosted content, streaming video to a “dumb” TV fifteen years ago took a lot more effort. When I ...

The general consensus was that I might be about to pass a kidney stone, but I didn’t have any of the other traditional symptoms. A co...
