Thanks for the tip!! I have a Vtoman flash speed 1500 and shopping for solar panels. The solar generator /Anderson connector says 30-60 volts. I'm confused because all the solar companies advertise that their panels are 12 volt. But the short circuit voltage says 20 volts. If I run parallel does that mean I'm only running 20 volts which is 10 volts less than is recommended into the solar generator. I'm super confused by this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Y los boosters porque no se puede ver ña intensidad de carga

Can you tell me the thickness and brand of the sound deadening material that you used?could not find it on your site thank you

Good info. Thanks for sharing

I’m putting 4 of the litime 280ah batteries. My RV is fully off grid, and run entirely by solar.

😁 Got one (gas) in my rig, brother uses the usb rechargeable and ❤️ it.

"screw hole things" lol

Where did you get the stabilizers? Do they have them for C class RV?

Is this a 1C battery?

Or just check your tires now and then

Got a few of these and each one charged completely is different voltage.... havent used them yet, but gives me reason to worry about capacity. I thought these would be goo value... and they could be, but in general you get what you pay for and I think id be better off just biting a bullet and getting a good quality server rack battery. Been looking for a tear down of this battery and havent found one yet. Tempted to take myn appart and see whats actually inside.

How do I put the insulation in the ac without blocking the air flow?

Remember.. those are stabilizers.. not a jack. Dont use them to lift the RV, only enough pressure to keep it from rocking.

My dad does this. His camper is a rolling master bedroom on the road I hope to get one like he has

That’s total hogwash, what about all the dirt and road grime while traveling down the road that’s worse than when it’s sitting parked.🤦‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Camp trailers are the worst investments !.

the little things work best

We just found a brand new one at Goodwill for $15 this weekend. That furniture tag went directly to the register. 😂

Just use/reuse water bottles to fill your freezer which saves on energy; use less pay less while maintaining comfort

gee,mine is 12v,120v and propane.waste of money

Uhhhhm... Yeah....

The AC is $300 but you forgot to add the cost of generator.

And can you tell me wy?

Mocking someone with an RV for having the ability to watch their TV without internet is next level bananas. Why would anyone assume that you’d have enough internet access while RV’ing to stream entertainment???

USB

That's smart 😁 especially if you take it out in the country

We installed an EG-4 12k btu 28.5 Seer-2 mini split on the rear of our 35ft motorhome. Its super high efficiency means it produces about 3 times the cooling power for every watt of power it consumes compared to a 9.5 ceer window unit and about twice as efficient as an inverter powered window unit like you have. Plus, it's the perfect size to cool a small to medium travel trailer like you have. I paid $1,500 for it last November, but this same exact unit is on sale now from Signature Solar for only $1,350. I'm 67 yrs old and installed it myself from the instructions, as its plug and play - no charging or flaring of tubing needed. I can run ours 24/7 as we have a large solar/battery system. It ramps up and down only using the power needed to cool rather than turning itself on and off like most A/Cs do. Ours typically uses between 450-600 watts during the day when the sun is shining and drops to around 200-350 watts at night. We are FTers who boondock most of the time. In fact, we boondocked for 10 month last year, so use it every day for either cooling or heat, saving us money on propane too.

I just wanted you to know, after watching your video, I purchased some “Siless Sound Deadening Thermal Shield” and installed it on my RV ac . Now my wife and I can actually have a conversation with each other. Works like a champ. Thank you again for sharing. My unit was exactly like yours.

It's cool that you can run your A/C on such a minimal, inexpensive system. Kudos! We built a very capable solar system on the cheap (relatively speaking) too. My wife and I are retired and live FT in an older motorhome, boondocking most of the time. In fact, we boondocked for 10 months last year. We're designed and built our off-grid electrical system ourselves, on a limited budget. It took us 5 years to gather the resources to finally complete the project. We're living this lifestyle off of a limited retirement income so had to take the low budget route, foregoing name brand components like Victron and Battleborn for more affordable options. We started by building a 620-watt liftable solar array on the side of our 1999 National Tropical MH. Our side array makes a nice bedroom window awning too, practically lifting itself with a couple gas struts, and it's easy to clean, standing safely on the ground. Next, we built a 12v, 560ah LiFePo-4 battery (basically 2 of yours) using 8, 280ah prismatic cells and a Heltec 330amp (1,200a surge) BMS with a 5a active balancer. These cells fit perfectly under the steps of our MH where our old pair of golf cart batteries used to reside. We insulated the battery compartment, cut a small hole in our step risers and installed a tiny computer CPU fan to keep this space at close to room temperature, so we don't have to worry about the BMS shutting down charging due to low temperature - or their life reduced from getting too hot. Our 12v system uses an 80A LFP converter/charger, a 1,000w Renogy inverter, a 50a Epever MPPT charge controller and a Lnex battery monitor. All this cost us under $3,500 and meets all our off-grid electrical needs except for our air conditioning and microwave. This first phase has already paid for itself several times as we boondock so much. By mounting the solar array on the side of our coach, we left the roof free to rack 8, 550w solar panels down the length of our 35ft Class A, 15" off the roof, above our AC, vents, etc. It shades our entire roof, allowing plenty of cooling air underneath, increasing solar output and reducing the heat load on the air conditioners. Our 4,400w fixed array can run both our A/Cs, household appliances and charge our batteries from solar at the same time, even in winter. We mounted a Sungold Power all-in-one 48V, 5,000W Inverter/100A charge controller/battery charger, breakers and another Lnex battery monitor on the wall in our bedroom, saving us space as well as money compared to a system built with individual components. This all-in-one unit has the same 99% charging and 95% inverter efficiency as the high end Victron unit, though it lacks some of the bells and whistles to come in at only $764. We chose this particular unit because it supports up to 500 volts of solar power which was needed to accommodate our 400voc solar array. Our 48v battery uses 16, 320ah prismatic cells and a 200amp Heltec BMS to keep it safe. Together with our 560ah 12v bank, we have a total of 23.5 kwh of batteries onboard (the equivalent of 18, 100ah lithium batteries) - kept charged by 5,020 watts of solar. The price of Lithium prismatic cells has dropped quite a bit over the last few years. Our first 7.1kwh battery cost us $1,569 or $221/kwh, however the 16.4kwh we bought last November only cost $1,726 or $105/kwh. Of course, you'll need to add a $100-$150 BMS to keep things safe. Not only does building your own batteries save money, but your battery will have a much smaller footprint and be lighter than a factory assembled battery too. We removed our old rooftop bedroom A/C and replaced it with an EG4 28.5 seer-2, 12k btu mini-split heat pump on the upper rear of our motorhome. It's super quiet and cools as well as our 14.5k btu soft start equipped Furrion we have up front, but only draws about 1/3rd the power. This second phase provides 24/7 off-grid air conditioning and heat from the heat pump reducing our propane usage too. Our total budget for both 12v and 48v systems was around $11,500, including the $1,500 high-efficiency heat pump. We have no need to hook-up to power pedestals anymore, as we run everything in our MH without it. We travel around the country a lot, visiting National Parks, and doing the tourist thing, mostly boondock out west. We spent last winter in Yuma, AZ, but we're visiting our son in NC now where boondocking places are pretty rare. We found an RV park that is letting us camp in a spacious site without hook-ups for only $100/mo., saving us $500/mo. off their FHU rates. That's only $3.33/day, which is well within our budget and a no brainer for the convenience this park offers.

Thank you! Great idea

Nice tour of your system.

What is the recommended psi?

If you have pets with you that, for whatever reason, need to stay inside, you would run the AC all the time.

Do you have a link for the AC? Thanks for the video. New Subscriber.... Jeff

Great video! I was out last weekend for my first trip of the season with my new 280 Eco Worthy. It was great! The weekend was generally overcast but my solar was enough to keep it charged (400 watts on roof and a 200 watt ground panel). My main power draw was using my Renogy 2000 watt inverter running a tv, computer (Mac Mini) and coffee maker as well as charging phones and tablets and my Mom's laptop.

Do you have a link for this awesome mosquito killer?

You might be the smartest guy I know!

Dumb

And now you don't get any view Why not just get a better window shade?

Nice fit and good choice for the until

The ONLY reason to go mullet instead of beard

This Owen Wilson?

TURN THOSE PAPER TOWELS AROUND THAT IS NOT RIGHT

The only reason why I'd put it the way it is in the video is to create a better sense of space and less clutter on that side of the cabinet. It would be really annoying to hit your head on the hanging paper towel

Prime example of don't believe everything you see on the internet.

It’s the run direction, when you wipe your ass do you wipe from the front or the back. I’m scared I have to ask that

This is correct, the further the distance the force is applied, the more stress is produced on the joint. The same principle is why longer wrenches apply more torque.

omg seriously???????????

Mount it inside the cabinet, cut a slot, and feed it through the slot.
