Motor Vehicle Tips

It is incredibly frustrating to play chess. Unless you are a genious and expert at chess, you ARE going to feel frustration.

It is not as straight forward as fighting bad breath with a product line like therabreath.  No. Chess has many twists and turns to it.  A game can be agoniziing when you are down even a point.

It is good to take a portable oral irrigator with you when travelling to chess tournaments. Stress can take a toll on your dental health, even if you are using Oramd or something like it.

In case you were not aware of the point system that allows decent players to know who has the upper hand, her is the run down:

Queen – She is worth 9 points because of her ability to move multiple spaces in multiple directions.  The only peice that can move in a way that she can not is the horse or cavalry.

Rook: The rook or ‘castle’ is worth 5 points.  Locking two rooks together so that they protect each other and can work in tandem to trap a king are both well utilized tactics in chess.

The Bishop is worth 3 points. The bishop is able to move diagonally on the same color squares as the one it starts the game on.  Bishops are often held on a corner of the board and used for long distance strikes when your opponent has forgotten about them and therefore is not defending himself / herself very well.

The Horse: The horse can move in what is described as an ‘L’ shaped pattern. This movement has also been described as ‘one up and two over’.

Pawns – Pawns can only move forward, not backward and they can only move one square at a time except for one special circumstance. The power of the pawn is in interlocking patterns and its ability to become a queen or any other peice should it reach the opponents back rank.

Recreational Vehicles (RVs) are designed to give you the freedom of the open road.  In theory you can drive anywhere you want, but often you are restricted to official camp sites because you need somewhere to plug in and recharge your batteries.  Even if you use your batteries to power on-board appliances they will need recharging from time to time – usually more often than you had planned! And beware, regularly flattening a battery will shorten its life dramatically. But there is an alternative that will give you true flexibility to go where you want, and you can make it yourself easily and cheaply.

Most RVs have on-board generators, but these tend to be noisy, smelly and gas-guzzlers.  These days solar panels are often fitted to provide all or most of your electrical requirements without damaging your battery, and literally anybody can put these together in their backyard.  Your generator, if you have one, can then become a backup – much less wearing on the ears and pocket. Keep it for powering the lights at your next outdoor party!

Solar panels for RVs can be made foldable for easy storage, and they are usually quite light and easy to move. One 4ft x 2 ft solar panel will generate about 75 to 100 watts, which is about the same as a pair of golf cart batteries.  A typical 24 ft RV would probably manage on this but it would depend, of course, on your own electrical needs. Most RVs use less than 400 watts.  The best advice is to start with one or two solar panels, and fit some more as needed. You can get more information about this here.

There are some additional things you will need if you will be driving regularly in hot climates.  You should instal a solar-powered battery charger with battery temperature compensation to prevent overcharging of, and damage to, your batteries.  Also, solar panels on the roof of an RV can get very hot, which can affect their efficiency and can lead to a drop in voltage. Ensure that your solar panels have a rating of at least 17 volts to ofset this loss.  Just keep these thoughts in mind when planning your RV’s solar panel system.

There are many solar panel kits on the market for RVs, but they can be quite expensive.  We thoroughly recommend the make-it-yourself route. You will find it very easy, a lot of fun, and literally anybody can do it.  And much cheaper than buying a kit.  It is very sensible, however, to get professional advice and guidance as you plan and build your solar panel, otherwise you could end up with a system that does not work properly or even at all.  Don’t worry, professional advice and step-by-step instructions are readily available if you know the right source, and only cost a few bucks.  We believe this is a good investment.
