12 VDC is pretty standard now for RV, boats and many environments. It's 
about finding, testing and deploying advanced gentoo systems on 12VDC 
where is can turn into a remote, secure palace. Surely I'll post, when 
my vision is ready.  I think, for me, usb4 is also quintessentially 
important. Jump into gentoo-embedded to find out what's going on any 
time. embedded and 12VDC, are synonymous, imho.

Microwaves, TVs, audio systems and host of other "fun-toys" can also all 
run on 12VDC.

Bye the way, deep woods is quite similar to ski-lodge, cross-ocean 
cruising, mountain climbing, arctic retreat,
island living, ranch-cabin, horse-back-camping etc etc. 12 vdc can store 
energy on batteries, such as optimas, yellow-top & redtop & bluetop and 
all sorts of exotic metal based batteries. A small energy footprint, is 
good for the earth, and 12vdc brings folks "closer together" so it is 
the ultimate e4nergy source on cozy nights with the ones you love....

Diverting money from the large electric grid operators?
