Altadena residents find 'weird sense of normalcy' living in RVs while rebuilding
Original source: Pasadena Star News

Residents of Altadena, California, are returning to their fire-damaged properties to live in recreational vehicles while awaiting reconstruction. As of October 23, the county has issued 112 permits for RVs, trailers, and campers for temporary residence on private land. For many, this is an economic decision to save on rental costs during the slow rebuilding process, which faces hurdles with permits and insurance.

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 also states that permanently mounting foldable panels on the roof leads to damage and voids the warranty.
