    I have the Goal Zero 1500x and a 170 watt solar panel with two Battle Born batteries and living in Hawaii. With the sun blaring everyday I have no problem relying almost solely on my solar panel battery bank. I cook on a induction stove primarily. Love my 1500x.

  • @leblancexplores

    One thing I've noticed testing burners for my van is most of the dual burner cooktops won't max one burner out at their max capacity, usually a smidge more than half like you are noticing, so a single burner can boil your water faster and heat up hotter than the dual burner.

      Which cooktop is this??

  • @courag1
    @courag1 Před 2 lety

    I have an induction 4-burner range/oven by Frigidaire at home and love it. It is easy to use and to keep it clean. The only time you want the higher power on the induction top is when you are heating up the pan. Once water is boiling, it takes less energy to keep it boiling which means where you have standard 110/120 vs. the 220 for my stove, you can do a lot of cooking without really losing any function of one burner shifting to a lower power while you have one on high or power boost.
    Overall induction does not just heat up the pan and food, far faster, it does not heat up your room or your van or RV. So the energy being used is not wasting the heat but using it efficiently. Moreover, there is less build up of cooking oils on your cabinets so in a small Camper/Van/RV, you will have a cleaner environment to eat and sleep and drive on down the road. When one is in vacation mode, the less cleaning required is a big plus.
    We have an older RV and I want a two-burner induction for our motor home as I am spoiled by the ease of use of the induction range. Induction overall is safer and once you learn about how to use it, clean it, what power or temperature your favorite foods cook best at, there are no regrets for ditching natural gas/propane at all.
    Nice video. Was your two-burner induction cooktop rated for an RV? We are looking at the difference between those so rated and the ones which are for household use.

    Love the design of Your Van. stopped to see the GZ Battery demo and found it interesting. I've had a GZ1400 since 2018. Bought the whole house kit with four back up batteries in Feb this year but difficulties getting it connected due to rural area of MT and few electrcians who will be bothered yet alone actually respond to your request to call back when all you leave is your # and name. So meantime we will get there but trying to catch up to newer GZ posts. Instead I love your van and can see some options for improving say an older van I'm looking for to update. I've narrowed my search down to Pleasure Ways and A couple of others but PW is so far leading in my interest. I want gas no diesel though I used to think diesel until I discovered the cost to maintain one over the cost of gasoline. Still learning and still open minded. But your woodwork and classy fridge and simple products yet high end looking is appealing. I couldn't afford Iknow but I can drool. Nice job in showing what your GZ could do too by the way.

    If you are going to cook with electric, you should by a system with LiFePo4 batteries.
    Those batteries support a lot more cycles, you will were out the battery very fast if you do this.
    The negative with LiFePo4 is that the energy density is lower....

      @@AnkeneyVanBuilds A NMC (lithium-manganese-cobalt-oxide) battery have a lower 100% DOD cycle life than 2000. The 2000 cycle life is achieved by having a buffer on the top and the bottom. (All "solar generators" and EVs have those buffers)..
      In comparison, a LiFePo4 have a cycle life of 2000 at 100% DOD, but can have 6000 at 80%DOD.
      In addition a lithium battery also degrade as a function of voltage, temperature and time.
      LiFePo4 have a lower cell voltage, and thereby a lower calendar degradation.
      Bug again, it's less dense. So you get a larger unit or a smaller battery in kWh.
      A tip if you only need more storage, and already have a Goal Zero...: You can get a 12V LiFePo4 battery, and use the 12V charger cable to recharge the Goal Zero.
      In addition to an increase in storage, by having a 12V LiFePo4 connected to the Goal zero you are at the same time reducing the cycles the non-replaceable battery gets...

    I have followed your build and find your explanations easy to understand and very helpful for my build plan. Thanks for testing the gold zero. I think an actual cook test would have helped us a little more. Anyone can boil water and frankly a short high load is great but if I can’t cook a full meal without depleting my batteries a cooktop is useless as is the GZ. I can’t live on boiled water. I didn’t notice the GZ model either. I may have missed that. I’m leaning to the Titan. Cheers from Canader eh!

      Not true actually. Induction is newish , but there are several chefs and restaurants who are beginning to switch over, particularly in Europe.

      The Goal zero does have a 12V cigarette plug charger that can plug into your car and charge while it is running! I haven't messed around with that before but that would be a good option to have in the cloudy days

    Hello Colton, this is the first of your videos I have seen. I liked it very much. What size Goal Zero Yeti was the induction cooktop connected to? I watched the video twice and I may have missed it, but I didn’t hear what size system you were using.
