Oregon's abandoned RV crisis: volunteers fight it one cleanup at a time

Friends of Willamette Cascades Watersheds, a nonprofit in Lane County, Oregon, cleans up illegally dumped vehicles and trash. Since 2023, volunteers have completed 141 cleanups, removing 507,870 pounds of trash.

Portable Solar Panels for RVs: Efficiency Analysis

GEYOTO Technology Limited has published a technical analysis of using portable solar panels for motorhomes and camper vans. The material covers power supply issues, comparison with fixed roof panels, and recommendations for integration with energy storage. It notes that a 100W panel generates 400–500 Wh per day, enough for a compressor refrigerator but not for high-power appliances. It also states that permanently mounting foldable panels on the roof leads to damage and voids the warranty.
