Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Can people have gaming PCs in RVs?
If you have a powerful enough inverter - problem's more cooking yourself as ~1500 watts is a space heater. In the winter it's 2 for 1 though.
My room is on the sunny side of the house. In the summer I gnash my teeth and shit and piss myself because my computer keeps my room 10 degrees hotter than anywhere else in the house. In the winter, I smile and laugh and dance with cherubs because my computer keeps my room 10 degrees hotter.
The cycle must continue, same as it ever was.
I mean just because you live in a camper doesn't mean you don't have grid access. Most people moving to these are living in a park with RV hookups.
1500W? A PC while gaming should be closer to 500W, right? My GPU and CPU together don't pull 300W and I can play 2k 100Hz
Modern hardware is incredibly power hungry - to squeeze marginal gains out of hardware they're being pushed to the power hungry side of operation. On the high end a 5090 and an intel 285 / 265 is 825 watt TDP nominal before other hardware.
On that note, you can significantly reduce power consumption by undervolting your hardware. Everything is overclocked out of the box.
I wouldn't expect someone living in a trailer to own a 5090.
Yeah, my Ryzen 5700X is undervolted, I was thinking about undervolting my RX6800
You should be using a heat pump instead of a space heater anyway, though.
Yeah why not?
I don't know about RVs, but people are doing amazing things with Cargo Vans
