Such a charming young lady!!
You have a charming personality!!
You did very well!!!! On your charge control set up!!
That episode of the Brady Bunch back in the day where they went to Hawaii and the tarantula got in Greg’s bed has scarred so many genXer psyches.
You piece of s***. Thank you for nothing. I Received delivery this battery 4 weeks ago And still waiting for the controller hub.
idk if you’re one to respond to comments or not but i’m gonna ask my question anyways: you said you’re happy choosing the mini van over the sprinter….does not being able to fully stand inside the van affect you or make you wish you went with the sprinter? i noticed this video came out over a year ago so over time, did you maybe get bothered by it?
BEST BEST BEST explanation on this topic!!!!!! Thank you ❤
Thank you so much. Finally, I understand how mobil battery works.
I've been considering one of these for camping after using a box solar oven (RIP) for years. Although you don't have to change the angle of solar ovens often, if you anticipate the movement of shadows it will be more effective when you spend time away. Facing the sun, it moves from your left to right in the Northern hemisphere. With your back to the sun, your shadow slowly moves from your left to your right as well. Same direction as reading! Position the GoSun where shadows from buildings, trees, and vehicles won't reach your solar oven during the cooking time. Inside of the vacuum tube, it remains hot like a thermos, and if the food is hot enough, continue cooking while clouds pass by. If you start with the shadow of the sun dial slightly to the left of center, it will gradually center after you leave it and move slightly to the right of center. Have fun experimenting with your new oven!😅
You might also want to consider using ShadeStoper panels. Most solar panels on the market lose up to 90% of their output when there is shade on any portion of the panel. The ShadeStopper panels, on the other hand, apparently continue to produce power when partially shaded. Several 3rd-party videos show "conventional" 100W panels dropping from 85-90 Watts output (unshaded) to <10W output with just an "oven mitt sized item" dropped randomly on the panel. Then they show the ShadeStopper maintaining ~60W output with same size object dropped on them. Could make a HUGE difference when boondocking. (Not affiliated with ShadeStopper - just think it's a pretty cool technology breakthrough...)
Nice job, video made more sense than 3 others I watched. New subscriber, just starting out with you tube. Stay tuned this 70 year old is going to attempt a van build 🤣🤣 FYI have seen some of your videos in the past, all good.
I wonder if it isn't the mountain air that helps you sleep so wonderful. Or perhaps the fumes from cooking 😂 loving your videos. I'm definitely inspired to take more adventures and try a new way to eat healthier. Much love
We need more people like u of the people for the people by the people there combing
I just got mine today and the smaller one. I had to leave it on high for 20 minutes and all the misquotes stayed away. At 10-15 minutes they try to fight it still.
Great ideas. Very clever storage arrangments.
Great video! Thank you very much
you are a doll but that shower is rediculous ..
Scary to put the water next to the generator, without being inside of a solid, water proof, and puncture proof container.
Thanks for the info,what a beautiful smile!
8% of customers have had failures, particularly not reaching freezing temps and barely refrigerator temps. They also said customer support is awful when you do have an issue.
@@bme7491 The only issue I’ve had with mine is dropping a jar of pickles on the digital readout bar-cracked it badly but everything still works.
If you have problems with your charge controller overheating it will be because you have it laying down on the heat sink. That needs to be vertical so that the heat can dissipate easily.
You skipped the programming of the unit
Thank you for showing us the reality of trial and error when it comes to van work 😬
Very interesting battery with the hub. However the limitations you listed make it inferior to all the battery power stations that are available. Yes they can be expensive but when they are on sale they are superior to having multiple gadgets to handle your needs. For example ecoflow river 2 pro I was able to get for $314 last month during prime days. Those sales are gone but I imagine labor day and black Friday they will return. Ecoflow and bluetti have been competing. If you regularly review their website you can eventually catch a great deal.
Your table is nice. Can you post the components of your table.
You are pretty creative and witty with your designs.... really cool!😊
Great video. Could you make more videos cooking with the Skotti?
Thanks for letting us see from start to finish. And all the awkwardness that you possibly felt while figuring it out.
As of today it’s on sale for $249
If you can afford another oven, the larger diameter oven from KECOP or one of the other Chinese companies that offer them-they are about $200 on amazon. These stoves will fit Mini-Loaf pans and allow you to cook different foods together and/or separate portions. For those that want to cook meat, the stoves heat to 250F and stay there as the water in the meat boils off. They will definitely brown your meat but it might take cooking longer than the “best” internal temperature-the the meat doesn’t dry out. These stoves are also great for keeping food warm but you want to let them cool a lot or your food will dry out in a few hours.
Dumb
I really needed this.
I found out Li Time battery monitor does not explain How to do it very well could you do podcast on it
Too bad there isnt a loop on the inside middle to hang it inside out to dry, over a window? door? anywhere? lol always a stool. they make some that are interesting for elders, that have a u shape in the middle for washing! I think it needs a zipper to let you out of it faster. Just watched a youtube showing the shower in a Halo Shower by Storyteller Overland that closes with magnets, perhaps you could do that to this one? just cut down top to bottom and glue magnets to one side and tiny washer to the other. I tend to be claustrophobic and i like your shower but yeah i need to be able to get out quickly ;)
It's so important to be efficient with our small living spaces! I'm going through my van now and my first "keeper" item after my essential tools was my HomeFi hotspot. It's compact and has made remote go so much more smoothly, especially when I'm traveling or don't want to use insecure public networks. Thanks for the video!
M.C.Gal are you running as 24v in series or 12v parallel?
Ok I see parallel - 12v
You're sweet and very cute.
Thanks!
Thank you!!
🤨 Looks like you just made the product worse. Now you have to add ice to your tiny cooler more often. And that mini freezer just adds heat to your van. So you are making your environment hotter… to then turn around and use the heat the freezer pumped into the van to freeze ice packs so you can cool it down. This is lady that lives in a van level dumb.
Wow, you're a genius. Thank you.
My worst nightmare.
I wear Luna’s mono gordo for around town on pavement. You need Oso Flaco for the “bendy” kind. I wear those around the house. One day (hopefully) they will see a trail.
I drilled a hole through the roof and used a 1 inch pipe nipple to act as a bit of a conduit for the wire, and also to prevent water from entering the cabin of the van. The two solar panel wires are 48 V DC open circuit which is quite high for 12 V battery but it doesn’t matter because I’m using the maximum PowerPoint tracking charge controller, which are very common nowadays. I’m using the epever 40 amp controller and that is connected to three lithium ion batteries that charge up to 32 V because they are for a 24 V inverter but the car battery is only 12 V so I bought a little DC to DC converter that can make 70 A of current at 12 V from the higher voltage of the other lithium batteries. I set the little trim pot which is a little rotating dial on the converter to 14.0 V and that way it acts like an electronic alternator for my van.. This has been five years now and I’m never going to repair my alternator and I have tons of power . My solar panel is 230W. I’ve added four more charge controllers in my van with the option to add up to 10,000 W of solar panels so that I will have enough power to run pretty much anything at all including charge my other electric car Good luck
Where were you located. That campground looks like a nice setting! I'm in Mississippi and have recently bought a Honda Odyssey I plan to convert.
Never knew something like this existed, thanks for sharing!
Nice job god bless
Love the design where we can buy that for my Honda crv
One time I farted and it smelled like doodew...
thanks for posting this helpful video!
Also does it charge from your alternator?
