    Nice looking unit guys! Question, is the control panel detachable so i can relocate in the van living area for monitoring purposes? I would have to mount this in my garage so won't be able to easily see what's going on. Does the control panel shows what's coming in for power or would need to buy something else for that? Thank you!

      Hi, the white control panel for the Inverter/charger can be relocated in the van, but that's the only part. The system also has bluetooth monitoring via the Victron BMV-712 so there is very little need to actually touch the face of this unit often.

    Really like the 2nd row seats. How easy are they to install and remove?

    • @craftautoworks
      @craftautoworks Před rokem

      Initial installation is pretty involved, quite a few holes to be drilled and the diesel tank needs to be lowered. Once the mounting brackets are in the seats attach with 5 bolts. Technically they can be taken out and put back in as desired, but they certainly aren't quick release. You'll need tools and ideally two people to take the captains chairs in and out.

  • @sillytorque
    @sillytorque Před rokem

    Nice build 👌🏼 the only thing I would do differently would be a wider window on the left side rear passenger - it seemed quite small?

    • @craftautoworks
      @craftautoworks Před rokem

      All of our builds are unique to each client, and as such we allow them to customize them significantly to their exact use case. We discussed doing the factory sized full window on the drivers wall, but since it would have overlapped with the kitchen and created some weird visual and functional transitions, they opted to do a smaller window instead.

      Hi, the reason we normally sell this fully stocked with all the GSI components is that the dimensions are very specific and we picked items that perfectly fit the Kitchen. That being said, if you'd like to purchase one without the GSI items, hit us up via the contact form on our website and we'll be happy to provide you a custom set up.

    Very nice.. I've seen others build these compact vans. Yours I definitely like. Use put time into it to utilize all available space and still be comfortable inside. I love the fact you put the roof top tent on the van. Only thing missing is solar. But I'm sure use have models with solar. I love it. Great job 👍👍

    • @craftautoworks
      @craftautoworks Před rokem

      Thanks! We really worked to dial this model in space wise. All of our builds come with a 120 watt portable solar panel. We almost always steer towards portable rather than fixed mounted panels since it lets you park in the shade and then toss the folding panel 30+ feet away (on our extended cables) in the sun. That way you get power without turning your van into a solar oven!

  • @mck5209

    @zackeoff4164 Před 2 lety

    This looks pretty awesome why would someone buy this vs something like a yeti 1500x? This is an honest question I’ve just started researching these units because I needs something for longer camping trips.

    • @craftautoworks
      @craftautoworks Před 2 lety

      That's An excellent question and one we will be making a whole video on soon. There's four main differences: Charging System, Battery Type, DC vs AC outputs, and Enclosure The charging system in the OES has dual DC input, and most important, 360watt charging from 12v allowing you to fast charge from the vehicle. The Yeti has fast solar charging but only can fast charge from your vehicle with their Vehicle Integration Kit which is a $450 additional purchase. The OES uses a LiFePO4 Self heating battery which is good for over 4000 cycles and can be used in winter applications. If the battery detects that its below freezing when you go to charge it, it will automatically divert the incoming power to the heating system, warm up the battery, and then switch back to charging without you having to do anything. The Yeti uses a Li-Ion battery that's only good for around 400 cycles and has no cold weather protection system. The OES features 80amps of DC outputs since most everything used in vehicle applications is DC (12v) but we still include a 500watt AC inverter to run small AC appliances. The Yeti is primarily AC (120v) output since it was originally designed for home backup use. It does have 1 cigarette outlet, some USB ports and a 30a DC output port, but that 30a again requires adapter cables to allow you to use it in any meaningful way. Finally, the OES is built in a Front Runner case and does not require active ventilation. The Yeti has ventilation ports on it with fans which are likely to cause problems in heavy dust, rain or snow. At the end of the day, they are really two different tools for two different jobs. If you have a lot of AC load, don't use you system often and can keep it inside, the Yeti may be a better choice. If you are primarily using this for vehicle applications and need something that can charge fast, power all your DC appliances and handle the abuse of off road or overlanding, the OES really shines. If you have any further questions just let us know!
