DwnShifters provides an update on the newest and largest power station from Goal Zero - the Yeti 6000x. John discusses what they like and wish was designed better while using it for the last year in their custom DIY van build. John talks about the App, battery chemistry (Li-ion NMC vs LiFePO4), 12v and 120v systems, pricing, competitors, solar panels, alternator charging, and more.
Follow Jess, an operations wizard and John, a designer/maker as they ditch their Brooklyn, NY digs for a more spacious 60 square foot Ford Transit High-Roof Extended 350 XLT. Jess and John did the conversion in the sweltering, litter-lined streets of New York City and are on a quest for actual nature and more temperate weather. Will they make it? Stay tuned to find out!
Conceptually, the van is the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom and the outdoors serves as their living room. This concept prioritized a functional kitchen and bath, while providing plenty of seating for dining and working indoors when the weather is disagreeable. The other driver for the van design was the urge to move away from a bed and garage hogging the entire back half of the interior. Why have a bed taking up half your space all day when you only sleep for 8 hours? The solution to this was to create a queen size murphy bed that hides during the day, thus creating twice as much functional space during the day.

The EcoPro has fixed those power issues and now there is a solar panel that works in the shade.
I'm sorry, I don't know what an Eco pro is. Solar panels have always worked in the shade, but they are far less effective. Panels with busbars or microinverters are helpful when panels are partially shaded.
put a splitter cable on the yeti link and install another solar charge controller to the 6000x
We have recently read of people doing this in a GZ forum. Great idea!
How is your headliner shelf supported? Did you buy one of the kits with brackets or DIY?
No, we did not buy a kit. We used the bolt holes for the overhead handles and the bulkhead wall between the cab and rear to support. Works like a boss!
Great review. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Has staying power!
Great solutions. Love it.
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
Congratulations, I loved this model of you! And I've been following content from several countries, but yours is on my top 2 list. You gained 1 more subscriber Brazil! 👏😍🎯
Aw thanks so much!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Thanks for the video! If you could fit another one, would you like to have a second max air fan? I plan to have exactly what you have on your roof and I have the same windows/ventilation as you - what do you think about if I put my skylight (likely the Heki midi or mini aka smaller than yours) off center so that a second max air fan could go next to it? Is having 2 unnecessary/do you foresee any problems with this layout? Thanks again!
Thanks so much for having a watch, Jordyn! We are still HUGE fans of our layout after 3.5 years of living in it full-time. If we had to do it all over again - we would do the same layout. On the roof - the priority for us was solar panels. We both work remotely and John's laptop is a power hog while doing his design work. So getting the most solar on the roof was the goal and limited how many roof fans we could have. If we had the option, we would prefer that the skylight (of any size) be at the very front of the roof, so fresh (cool) air was drawn all the way through the van and out the exhaust (right now it pulls from the middle and out the rear). We have a hack for this by using a pair of Transit specific air vents that fit in our front cab windows, which achieves the same goal though. We personally do not see the need for 2 roof vans - unless you do not have a skylight. On very hot days - you're pulling/exhausting hot air into and out of the van, so we will generally hang out outside, or use small personal fans to get a nice direct breeze on our hot bodies. This is our 2 cents. Feel free to reach out via gmail at dwnshisfters with any other questions, as we don't check our comments here as often as we check our email. Thanks and good luck with your build! Jess & John
@@dwnshifters6833 wow thank you for the quick and thoughtful response! I really appreciate your input and offer to send an email! have a great weekend!
I wish people would stop assuming viewers can guess the model of their vans.
Where not following. Help us understand!
Thanks! this is so helpful. I just recently made the wonderful decision to stop stressing over the full Victron system and all of those parts and wiring, and made the decision to go with the GZ. (although based on this video I'm going to do a quick search of potentially new options out there... but with you on this battery size!) I actually just found your wiring diagram where you show the other components you need to wire it all up, super helpful, thank you! Now I just have to finish defining wire gauge and fuses, etc. I'm curious as to your comment about the AC problem- I'm wondering, would it work to put a switch on/off wired in- like for the water heater? so you could turn that off without turning off all of the power cord? That's what I'm going to try to do...
So glad the video was insightful. You pay a price for an all-in-one, but if the money is available, it does save a lot of hassle. And -YES- we are using a cord with an On/Off switch for the water heater. We would still prefer that we could turn it On/Off with the App, but the manual switch does do the job. Good luck with your build and keep in touch!
so much lay out design and materials... I love this one as well!..love for the fact you guys have the kitchen in the back.. oh bathroom too, which most have like the luxury the bed in the back... but also in favor of the lift bed... hmmm... this would be great for a lift bed :)
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts! Lift beds are cool and we would consider using one if we lived in the van part-time, but since we've lived in the van for nearly 3.5 years, we know that we would really miss all of our overhead storage that the lift bed would require. Storage is everything in a build! Please feel free to share our video with your communities! It really helps us out! Good luck with your own project!
I hope you guys enjoyed Naxos!
We absolutely loved it! Thanks for following along!
How interesting the underfloor heating! Could you clarify which layers and in which order you have installed to make it work properly?
So sorry for the late reply! We're happy to describe our system, but it's important to note that it requires quite a bit of power to keep the floors warm. Since this is the case, we generally only use our radiant floors when we are in a campground with electric hook-up or while we're driving and our alternator can charge our battery bank. As for the construction of the system, we first used insulation on the van floor. We used a polyiso board like this: amzn.to/3iqG4Zx (you can buy larger boards at a hardware store). We then used 1/2" plywood over the isoboard insulation. On top of the plywood, we used a reflective foam insulation like this: amzn.to/3Zs36jq. On top of the foam, we added our radiant system. We used this product: amzn.to/3k8eReE . We ended up using 3 of these mats in the van - your results may vary. On top of the radiant mats, we used 1/4" plywood and then our finish material. We used a durable and sustainable flooring sheet material, similar to this: amzn.to/3VVP8Db. We prefer a sheet to tile or planks, as there are no seams. This eliminates liquids getting under the floor and there won't be any cracks from tiles shrinking and expanding due to temperature and climate. Lastly, we installed a Thermostat to control when the floors are on/off. We used one similar to this: amzn.to/3GWcwMS . We hope this helps!
very good designed indeed. being great designers you guys should proud of yourselves
Thanks so much! We've been full-time for 3 years and are still very happy with the layout!
I would never buy a branded item like that when I could build my own box my own way in a weekend for about 2500 and it would be way better. Yeti you pay a premium just for that Branded Name....A half way handy person could make their own box way cheaper.
You're awesome! Thanks for sharing!
can it run the Rooftop AC? thats the only reason I want it. I live in a very hot state. 100 - 105 on average for about 6 months out of the year. our winters are not very chilly at all. usually 55-70 so we don't need a heater.
Possibly. Depends on the draw of the ac unit in question. This power station has a 2000w inverter, so anything with less draw would run on it. Thanks so much for watching!
I’ve been watching hundreds also and that being design is awful. I can’t imagine going thru that on a daily basis. If you need to relax during the day there is no place. I have designed and then saw my actual design come to life by another designer who did it in 3D first and then built it. I’m all set. But this bed baffled me besides the lack of windows. You can utilize the vertical space by having a bed that comes down from the ceiling and still have a work/dining space. ……
Our design isn't for everyone, but we've lived in it full-time for 3 years and could not be happier. Hopefully you've figured out what works best for you as we have for ourselves. ✌️
Can you make a video on how much energy you use on a normal day and how much you recharge using just solar, I’m thinking of get a 3000x for my tiny home.
Great idea! We'll start saving some data in this to share. Thanks for watching and stay tuned!
Great update!
Thanks for watching Amy!
Did you have any need for an inverter for some of your appliances? Such as the air fryer.
The Goalzero 6000x includes a 2000w inverter with 3500w surge protection. 3000w would be awesome, but the 2000w has generally worked well for our needs. Our air fryer is not particularly powerful, as we wanted something fairly low wattage. You can see the unit we bought here: www.dwnshifters.com/blog/2020/5/24/our-kitchen-how-we-eat
@@dwnshifters6833 Good to know. I was wondering about the water pump, water heater, and a 12v electric oven (Kickass). I do have the Dometic Penguin II a/c that will need shore power to run. How many appliances can you run at a time from the power strip that’s plugged in? From what you said, I may be able to get away with just the Yeti 3000 and a grid dominant transfer switch. Any ideas on that?
@@keenliz what appliances you can run simultaneously really depends on their power draw. We can use multiple items at the same time, but we were careful to purchase low-wattage appliances where possible.
@@dwnshifters6833 Fridge, a fan, lights, water pump, and water heater when needed. One fan is wired to the vehicle battery and the other, to the Yeti. All of that but the water heater is 12v. I do plan on daily meals from a hot plate or oven as needed. I do have an AlpieCool freezer that is 12v too and that will always be running for medication purposes for my son. Our plan is 3-day (max) off grid. I have the dual alternator on my ‘22 Ford.
@@keenliz all brands of appliances are different. I'd suggest using an electrical load calculator so you understand what size battery/inverter you should get and what appliances you can use at the same time. Hot plates are pretty demanding on a load, so running through this exercise will be helpful. We have a calculator here: www.dwnshifters.com/blog/2021/1/7/calculating-electrical-loads
I didn't even watch one sec and I liked it
😂 thanks!?!?
That’s great they listened to your engineering suggestions- a lasting impact to the firmware for all users now, kudos
Agreed. It feels rare to get that level of customer care from a large company. Granted, it makes their product better, as it's more compatible with other brands - but still - a shining moment for sure. Thanks for watching!
This the best layout I’ve seen. Love the Murphy bed and the bathroom in the rear. What a great idea.
Thanks so much! We appreciate you watching and leaving a kind comment!
Hi there! Thanks for such an in-depth video on the 6000X! I just purchased a 3000X for my van conversion and would like to get the Yeti Link as well. Can you share the amperage of your rigs alternator? We upgraded our van's to 250 amp and I am worried that the Yeti Link wont be able to handle it. The EC8 cable seems much too small. Do you have yours set-up with all the factory cabling that the Yeti Link comes with? If so, have you had any issues? Thanks!
Our pleasure! We have the Ford Heavy Duty Alternator (which appears to be spec'd at 220 or 230a depending on what article you read). We are using all original components from the Link System without issue. We did have to lengthen the cable, as our Yeti is located in the far rear of an extended Transit. Enjoy your 3000x!
@@dwnshifters6833 Thanks for the quick reply!
@@Anpatton of course!
awesome video, where can i buy some flexible rod at like the kind you have for your shower rod?
Glad you enjoyed! We bought our flexible rod here: amzn.to/3NdC3B8
@@dwnshifters6833 thanks you are awesome!
love the layout, im just starting to plan a 144 (MWB) sprinter build and i had come up with the same type of layout, but had been searching to see if anyone else had done this already (so glad i found yours) I will only be traveling with my Husky and not full time living (for now) so the murpy bed design gives that multi functional space so i can work and rest while keeping space for the dog. I think the rear shower gives you the choice of a larger garage and the feeling of space when you want to open it up. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, Rich! We are nearly 3 years full-time and are still really, really happy with the layout. We agree with all of your hunches. Keep in touch and let us know how the build goes! John & Jess
“Hey John, it’s a beautiful day, the lights perfect, nobody’s here. Let’s do it!!” Yeah, shooting a van video wouldn’t be the first to come to mind if my wife came to me like that, gotta say! Great build and Happy travels!!
Haha. It was also a beautiful morning...

Thank you so much! ❤️👐❤️
Only $6000 what a steal!
Right?!?!?
can it run a heater that needs 2000W?
The 6000x has a 2000w inverter, so in theory yes. It's probably not the best option though.
First of all thank you for making the youtube video. I was really excited about the Yeti 6000X when I finally received it around May 2021, I used it for several months and didn't have any issues, until I stopped using it for about 4 months because I am renovating my house and I had to use Solar Panels from Goal Zero also. I been charging my Yeti 6000x for 3 straight days now and it only at 77% full. When I first plug it in to the same power outlet it shows 500W going in and after a minute it will go down to 50W. I also called Goal Zero Technical Support and we trouble shoot it but it turns our that it needs to be replaced with a new one (Hopefully New). The sad part is today is March 2022 and I haven't even paid the Yeti 6000X because I loan it through Affirm. I mean it has 2 years warranty but I just bother me that not even a year of using it, its broken already? I am very careful with it also and only use it for basic stuff in the house because I am afraid that It will stress the battery. What happens if the warranty expires? I will be stuck with a block of useless equipment and make it to a chair probably? I am freaking out really. Did anyone of you ran into this issue? Is there 3rd party where I can buy to extend the warranty? PLEASE HELP! Thank you!
Hi Christian! Thanks for having a watch! We have had our fair share of issues with the GZ products, but they have always come through with replacements and support. We'd suggest staying patient and creating a good relationship with customer service so get the issues resolved. We have had a number of issues, some of them with the programming on the units that created issues with our solar panels being compatible. Their engineers worked with us to update the firmware so our panels worked correctly. We were quite impressed. It wasn't an overnight solution, but our system has been working great since the firmware update. As for warranties, you can do a simple Google search for "Electronics extended warranties" and a number of options will pop up. We have used Asurion for our GZ products, as we bought our GZ products through Amazon and Amazon allows you to add an Asurion extended warranty at the time of purchase. All the best to you!
No shower pan? Any problems with the water pooling or leaking outside of that trim, not sure what that is on the floor that diverts the water to the drain? Is the gray tank mounted under the van beneath the shower? Where did you put the fresh water tank? We are trying to build a shower/toilet area in a 170 and running out of time and hairs.
Nope! No pan. Our shower works fine, but if the lip were deeper we would not need to concern ourselves with leveling up prior to showering. With the current lip depth (1"), being level is pretty important. Gray water is under the van and we are using these tanks for our fresh water - www.dwnshifters.com/reviews/2020/4/20/the-best-water-tanks-must-have Keep your hair! Learning to take it all in stride is a critical component of enjoying life on the road from our experience. Best of luck to you all!
Nice honest review
Thanks for having a watch, Ben!
This is really awesome. Do you mind if I ask how long you have been together? You guys look like you are still in that fun honeymoon phase. My hubby of 10 years and I would probably drive each other crazy 😂 😂 😂
Haha. Thanks! We just celebrated year 8 on January 10th! Nothing like jamming yourselves into 60 sqft to rekindle the magic! 🥸 Thanks so much for watching and leaving a fun comment! ❤️
For over 6 thousand dollars I can build a HUGE!! 48v system with 400 amps of 48 v lifepo4 batteries or 20,000 kw that will run everything and more at the same time. Waste of money with this unit in my opinion $4000 for a 48v.400 amp lifepo4 battery , $ 1,200 for 3- 450 watts solar panels connected in series , $ 700 for an all in one inverter and about 300 to 400 bucks for wires and fuses.
No argument from us that the unit is expensive, that's for sure! As for the rest of your comment, you're comparing apples to oranges. The GZ products are portable, meaning they can go from the garage to the house to the van to the yurt with relative ease and all connected to an app for easy management. The system you shared sounds awesome, but its not moving anywhere once installed. Just like music - if you want to listed to music at home, get a record player. If you want to listen to music at home, the beach, while skiing down a hill - get an mp3 player.
Great review! You should do an update video that’s more recent. I noticed that you haven’t posted a video in over a year. Hope all is well.
Thanks for watching! We are alive - thanks for your concern. Sadly, both of our work schedules have been insane and our youtubing and other social media outlets have taken a hit because of it. You're not the first to ask about a one year update and we will get to one - we promise! If you scroll through the comments, we briefly shared our updated views, but a video will come in the near future. All the best!
Absolutely loved the stills!! 👍🏾😅
Thanks so much!!!
Does this make any noise when running?
It has heavy-duty computer style fans that kick on when it's either being charged or drawn quickly. Not noisy at all, but the unit isn't totally silent.
This is the build I've been working on, little did I realize it's been done! This is amazing! Any chance of getting some of the design info?? :)
Awesome! Thanks for watching! We love the layout. Check out our website. Loads of info there! www.dwnshifters.com
Thanks for the great review. Now that it's been a year using it what are your overall thoughts pros, cons and how is the alternator charging working out? Thanks
Hi Brain! Thanks for reaching out! We plan to make a video update to share all the details, but overall we are happy with the unit after a years use. As noted in another comment, the fact that the unit can only input 600w has been frustrating at times, as charge times can be slow. More panels would result in faster charge times and we'd really love for that to be an option. Alternator charging has been solid. We have a VERY long run on our cable from the alternator to the back of our van, which means that there is some loss (and heat) between the alternator and Yeti, but it sure is nice to see 300-400w of continuous charging from the alternator while we're driving. Something that is also nice about this setup is that the solar panels can still collect power as well. Stay in touch and keep an eye out for a video update in the near future.
Someone once told me that this carries as much power as the first generation of Tesla home batteries, which would be amazing if true.
Interesting. Those first versions must have ran for 15 minutes. 😂
Needs more solar capacity
We agree!
Thanks for posting this! What is your source for 600W? Are you using 3 of the Goal Zero Boulder 200 Watt Briefcase Monocrystalline Solar Panels?
Thanks so much for watching! We are using 6 COMPACT 100w Monocrystalline panels from Renogy mounted on our roof. Due to our roof configuration with skylight and fan, we needed a compact panel solution to get everything to fit. We actually have a video on our DIY roof rack that illustrates our layout.
Where did you get the sink? I want one like that

Thanks so much, Tom!! We appreciate your comment and spending your valuable time with us!
possibly the best transformation ever in a van, and I've watched maybe thousands of videos. congratulations I will probably copy it.
Wow! Thanks for the fabulous compliment! We are flattered!!!
Your diagram in one of the comments is great! I may have missed it, but are you manually switching plugs on the unit to go from solar to shore and back?
Yes, on the video that is what we're doing. In the real world, we attach shore power directly to our 120v system so we're not taxing our yeti when we don't need to. (This is done by plugging our power strip in the diagram directly to shore power). Glad you liked the diagram and thanks for watching!
@@dwnshifters6833 thanks for the reply! I'm considering one of the new offerings from Buetti, in part because I *think* they have separate ports for AC and solar charging.
@@bnrlabs5923 they seem like great units at a good price. We wanted the full capacity of the 6000x or we would have considered other brands.
