I love your videos. When I set up my 2000 W inverter and fuse, I bought an inexpensive set of jumper cables and cut off the clamps and used those wires as the cables. Saved a bunch of money by doing so. Sometimes you can find a pair of jumper cables at a yard sale for a couple of bucks and save even more money.
You were ahead of the game on van's conversion. I appreciate your hard work and details
Thank you so much for your focus on stealth! I've been following van dweller channels for a long while now and there are many who might start out stealth but move to an RV. I am fascinated with the idea of van dwelling for the sake of economy, living lean. The concept of never paying rent or mortgage, always staying somewhere for free is one way of beating the system and stickin' it to the man. Urban boondocking adds an edge because in the cities anything can happen, it's an adventure in living. RV living is too restrictive, Walmarts and retiree parks, you can keep em. Hope to see more of your van adventures.
I heard you talking about a bug out van and I had no idea you where cooking up such a sweet concoction. 100% THE SHIT!
I appreciate you showing your actual use of the induction burner so we could actual see that your set up worked! Thanks!
Hell I got my 2000 inverter at Auto-zone I did purchase a set if jump start cables I spend about $ 300.00 I did cut the cables in half spliced. Correctly to the back of the inverter . I do use the Inverter in my working truck as needed when ever I need to run my power tools . I just pop the hood clamp the cables positive to positive & negative to negative since I’m not using back up batteries I must keep the engine running while I’m working where is no power . Cordless tools get drained as well .
Damn bro, the only thing left to put in is a stripper pole!
Man I cannot wait for the Bugout videos of Cruza driving out to the middle of nowhere, unloading the KTM690 and tearing up some trails! Looking forward to it
voltage drop kills some of the wattage if your batteries were at the 13.4v or even 14.4v like when a car is running the cooker should be doing that 1300 watts. Since it's just using it right off the batteries and there is some voltage drop you gonna get slightly less power just like in car audio amps
can you attach a diagram on paper of your connections at the end of the video?
Could you maby do a video on all the different ways youve done the electrical and ways youve discovered as well as the plumbing new to van life fixing to start my build based off your i have a lil home made bike id be traveling with
I like your style sure would like to have that system on my Prius/trailer combo? The smart thing would be to put your exact set on my trailer and leave the Prius the way it is. If I ever needed additional juice the Prius can shuttle power via jump cables to the trailer.
Problem is I get only 20 mpg when I tow the trailer at interstate speeds. But I can get 38 if I keep it around 45.
Keep rolling your video narrations are very energetic and upbeat I like that.
I doing the same system, but I am confused exactly where you are putting the fuses. I see you put on positive wire, but where did you put the other one, and where did you put the other fuses? Thanks for info in advance
K Butler you only fuse the positive wire not the ground wire. All of my other electrical connections are also fused inline but with small inline fuses.
1000 watt and above over over stresses the alternator, a heavy duty alternator or duel alternator set up is required to last or you'll be replacing alternators often.
But alternators are usually over 50 amps no? How stressful can that be for it, your not even pulling more than 20 with his setup
have you done a video on the fridge yet?
MrMarkw36 Next up, hopefully tomorrow. The fridge is awesome, uses little energy. I keep it running 24/7 and the battery level never drops below 12.9 even on the hottest night. I keep the fridge at about 35 degrees F.
cool cant wait for that video. im thinking of getting one
MrMarkw36 Get one, everybody recommends this fridge. Check youtube reviews.
This is the first van video of yours iv watched. Strangely entertaining
birdoneword Watch the whole series. You will be amazed.
ill check them out
You should definitely check out our Amped Powerbox if you want to see an all inclusive 4000 watt generator, air compressor and jump starter that is fuel free and is charged while you drive your vehicle!
Amped Power can you put a link so I can check it out
I tried to install a 2000 watt inverter today and it powered up but when I tried to run a coffee maker it threw a LUP code. I’m just wanting to occasionally brew a cup of coffee when I use my work van for overnight trips. Any idea why it’s not working?
More!!! I want more!! I wish these build videos would never end..but that would defeat the purpose of the build.
Mohammad Mukhtar It seems like it never ends. lol There is always something to get for the van.
Many, many thanks for including the source for all of your components in your Description. Excellent help for me. Also Congrats on the very well don video. Short & to the point with enough detail to be very helpful.
How do you charge the batteries?
Dude... you've made yourself a beast little setup there.
CycleCruza I would install a couple of these power manifolds to the battery. It's more reliable because with your setup, you are more likely to have corrosion problems. And it's cleaner of course. Here is the 30 port version crimpsupply.com/battery-terminals-copper-lugs/30-tab-quick-disconnect-power-feed.html. They also have a 10 and 20 port version. You might be able to find something like this on Amazon.
Ben Huskey Corrosion from what? The battery box seals out most moisture and the battery terminals are made of brass so it's not likely there will be any corrosion. We'll see though. I'm done buying shiz for this van. lol
Yeah, I forget that I over build my projects. lol. I really like your videos btw.
Ben Huskey Hey thanks for watching! Appreciate it.
Just stumbled across your van build vids and subscribed! We just picked up an express van for heading out to various track events with our cars. Several of us ride too. Keep up the great work!
Cyclecruza I Enjoy Your Videos and I like Your Instruction Videos. You are Clear and I would dare to say you are a Genius.
The average guy would say Say what... Run that by me again. Keep up the Good Work
Im confused. Did you used truck battery or you r using a back up battery. How you gonna know if is gonna kill your truck battery

It's common to go as high as 375F for fry oil. The setting for boiling water is probably not the most powerful one
Nice video, did you get a big spark when connecting inverter to battery?
You should make it like a TV series and at the beginning if the video the intro would be like. So far in the Bug out van or something like that... Or previously on Bug out van
Have you ever thought of wiring the vans alternator to the batteries, so when you are on the road the batteries are being charged by the van as well as the solar panels? That way they can get charged at night also/
James Elliott Leaving van as stock as possible to avoid any problems. I should be able to get all the power I need from the 400 watt solar panels. The only things that use the most energy is the induction burner and microwave. The microwave won't be used all that much and if I do it will be during the day when the solar panels provide me energy. I may use the butane burner more if I see the induction burner is using too much energy. I will try to keep it to 15 minute or less meals with the induction burner. It's all about power management.
That's fair enough, I was thinking more of in the winter when the nights are long and the solar panels will be less effective, in order to make sure the batteries don't go flat.
James Elliott In the winter I won't be doing much bugging out anyways. lol Maybe on a few nice days I'll do some local bug out trips in the winter.
Why do you need 2 batteries and does this converter put and electric back into battery
That inverter has the hook up (phone line type) for a remote switch!
How can you tell how many batteries you need to run the 2000W inverter?
you didnt show if it went to the main battery or a spare battery?
Do you have a 12v separate from the 120v you have converted? say for example a cooler uses 12v does that come from the main battery or separate system?
What is the material on the inside of your van walls is that for sound proofing or climate control the aluminum colored?
CycleCruza I say it practically every video because every video I'm impressed...Damn you're good at this kind of shit! Well done my man
wow man it just keeps getting better and better
how much money do u have invested in it already
I hope amazon gives you discounts for promoting them all the time.
you need to have a small generator and a battery charger so if their is no sun you can still charge your batteries. just syfen gas out of your gas tank. they have like 25 gallon gas tanks the van you have
Ginger Smash I have a smart battery charger mounted on the side of the battery box and hardwired to the batteries. I have no room for a generator and don't want to draw attention from the noise it makes when placed outside the van but it could be a great option when out in the boonies. I may end up getting a small generator though. If I need a charge I will have to go to a RV park overnight, however, I plan on managing my power. I still have the butane burner that I will use as a back-up cooking source and for cooking at picnic tables at rest stops. Thanks for the smart tips!
CycleCruza No problem. Keep up the videos. I love bug out things. I found your channel after looking up camper vans and once i saw your channel i subscribed right away because you keep things interesting. Keep it up
Ginger Smash Thanks! Much appreciated. Take care.
Do you have to hook this up to the van battery at all? To charge anything?
hello how they do the installation to power the bank of batteries. they do it through the van.
I love this bug out van
makes me wanna take my camry and turn it into a bugout car 😏
+willmatic 84 lol
Your living the dream!!
triplecheeseburger It's a dream I've always had and never thought it would work out so great. Hopefully everything works out on the road.
It looks awesome and I cant wait to see your trips if you decide to record any of them.
Would I need to use 2g cable to run from my house battery also?? Think it's 6g at the moment.
Looking good with the upgrades with equipment to cook , shower and watch TV yet being energy efficient ^.^
did you even use batteries attached to this if so how many batteries

How many barriers are you using for this set up?
How do you keep battery charged ?
Did you ground your inverter
So does the van need to be on?
Solid build video brother. Damn that van is really coming together. Got me wondering if that inverter could be used to hook up a trickle charge to the CBR battery while it is in the van to keep the bike's battery topped off...
SoopaBee Thanks! Yeah it can be used to trickle charge the blade.
In the long run using the battery to run the inverter.. Eventually the battery going to run out of juice.. How do you keep the battery full of charge?
He uses a 100 watt solar panel
How come you have all those wires coming from your battery? Do you have a central fuse block ?
+Chris Sapp I really don't have room for a central fuse box. Each positive wire is fused tho. Maybe in the future I'll clean it up and out in a central fuse box now that I have a custom cabinet.
Haha....I'm learning how to wire my van and I seen those wires and was like...WTF...lol. Anyways I've learned a lot from your vids. Thx. :-)
Currently looking to buy a dual sport chinese bike for around $1300. Thoughts?
Your video was so helpful thank you!!!
That's bad ass man! Can't wait to get my van!
So not 0. Whats better 0 or 2? I have some guy that i might use to install my inverter and he said 0. But i just wan the best wires cause in the future i might get a 2500-3000 watt inverter
+chris hill Well it depends how you will use the inverter. I will not use anymore than 1500 watts ever so 2 gauge is fine. However if you will be maxing a 2k inverter out than 0 is the best. For 2500-3000 watts go even fatter at 1/0 or 3/0 gauge if wire is less than 3 foot.
Yo cycle cruza the way u install Shit madd professional 😎
he does his research
hey man great vidz!.... i one thing i would love to know and if possible, i would love to see a portable air conditioner hooked up to that pure sine wave....
ive got a 1000w peak2000w inverter and i wanna get a microwave possibly , would this thing be ok running it?
+2dgamedev I can run a microwave fne but it uses a lot of power, 900 watts of power. Imo, a microwave is a waste of money and deadweight. I hardly ever used it on my last bug out trip. I built a custom cabinet since this video which accommodates the microwave but I'm taking the mcrowave out. If I had to do it over again I would have just kept the 1000 watt inverter to save money. I hardly ever use the inverter, only for the tv and it's voltmeter.
You don't have to ground it?
Why not show the option to hard wire to a 120v wall receptacle? Not everybody wants to be a slave to plugging/unplugging their appliances all the time.
Very Cool. You have an awesome set up there.
Thats getting Real Pimped-Out! Nice.
I put a 350w in my GQ Patrol when i decked it out. Only had to Power a 19" LCD, Xbox & Flouro's. Did the job nicely, my fan was on all the time too (I think it's normal).
I've done similar builds on my last 3 4wd's +1 paid job (video).
Hey BTW, you end-up being the 'popular one' when camping.
Really wish i did a Van build tho. You have A Lot more Head-Room than me.
GoodLuck with the Rest of the Build. Looking forward to the Finish.
Cheers from Oz, RS >:)
Haha lol playing xbox in the van. I hope u got your own wifi if u playing cod.
Looks great, do you have enough room to fully stretch out on the bed being 6ft?
Quinn ? yeah the bed fits great. I took a nap in the van and woke up thinking I was at home in bed. lol It was that comfortable.
Hi i have a 1500 watt power inverter. I want to install it in my tractor trailer truck so what size wires should i use..
+chris hill 2 gauge cables....
Do you customize, and do installations for people?
no, I'll probably never do this ever again. lol I'd rather be riding my motorcycles.
How is the set up working? I am building mine van set up right now, using your set up for the solar panels, I was planning to buy the solar panels today and they are out of stock, but I am wonder how is working for you, thanks.
+spiderpilot I did a video review on my bug out van after a 2 week trip to the rocky mountains: czcams.com/video/iUeTRfTBQgY/video.html
+CycleCruza thanks
CycleCruza life is good I have Wr and just picked 2013 Chevy express.
Woods Rider Nice!
Hey bro, one question, somebody told me that I need special cookware that work with the induction burner, What do you used? thanks
I've read stainless steel cookware is best for induction burner
Hows that inverter holding up, any updates?
Can that power a air conditioner
FYI - Here is a great small portable generator that would be great to add to a bug out van that takes up little space: amzn.to/1DGUsll
CycleCruza If I were you, I would make a video on how to use a generator to charge the batteries using the dc port or whatever
Maybe in the future but I'm cutting down on spending. lol I don't think I will need a generator with my solar set-up, the solar panels have kept my batteries topped off every day. We'll see though when I actually do a bug out trip.
You're awesome, I gained so much respect that you respond to comments on videos. Maybe a long trip will be hard on power because of all the high draw systems but all you'll need to do to top it off is park it in the sun and go for a nice walk or ride. The batteries also give a nice buffer that you can use more than you generate for a little while. I thought you already had a generator, that's why I suggested it. Deuces!
***** Thanks! I try to answer as many comments as possible but I get a ton of comments and no time to get to all of them. We'll see how the power consumption goes on my bug trip that I'm preparing for as I type this. Of course I will keep you all updated. In the future, I'll probably get a little compact generator for emergencies when camping out in the boon docks.
How can I put something in my van for heat
how do you know the size of fuse to use between the inverter and the battery
Osakwe Jindu 2000 watts (power) divided by the supply 12v, would equal 166.6, they probably don't make a 170 amp fuse so you would buy the next size up which is 200A for a guess
2 pieces battery with 155ah and is it connected parallel or series?
parallel, 12 volt system.
Who showed you how to use all of this stuff?
very nice settup.
CC- using some of your ideas for my Transit build. What are you using for the floor as a covering? And have you done anything for the walls since this vid? I too have the silver spaceship look left over from insulation step and want to cover with ???grey???? something.
Any ideas or plans on your part? Thanks and eventually will dupe your microwave install-Doug
Found the link. Wall covering for the future? Same stuff planned or?-Thanks-Doug
Douglas Higbee You can work with the curve of the walls with tongue and groove planks by using a chisel and trimming to the inside curve part of the tongue.
Might be a good suggestion for you, dunno. Some people have different plans for their build and don't want wood walls...
Sorry, I was vague in my request. I was seeking the floor covering, or grey stuff he used as carpeting. Is this simple carpet? I'm dong my walls/ceiling and want to use a simple grey fabric covering, but one that stretches in order to work within the curves and shape of the walls/ceiling. HD carpet I have, and that ain't it; won't stretch to intricate contours. Know a product out there?
well is it still working thanks.
How many watts did it read that your TV uses just curious?
led tv uses very little power, less than 60 watts.
where are you located I need your help in doing the same thing with my van.
can you upgrade to a 3000 watt sine inverter?
You need the battery power to support it though, for me, this 2k pure sine wave inverter was overkill. I only use it for the tv.
Cyclecruza what do you do as a job?
OK, if this question has already been asked before then I apologise - there's too much inane crap in the comments to sift through!
Have you tried proper cooking on the stove yet? I wondered how long the battery might last.
hey CycleCruza next stop Toronto haha. looking good
JAM ROCK Who the heck bugs out to Toronto???? counter intuitive, no?
Lol there lots of things o do and places to go haha
when will you bug out cycle c ruza?
***** when I get a dual sport which I hope to be soon.
I don't see how your batteries are connected to your inverter. All I see is your inverter connected to your fuse block.
+Andy Hartley ??? It's hard-wired to the batteries. The positive cable is inline fused.
+CycleCruza I don't see how your batteries are connected to your inverter. All I see is your inverter connected to your fuse block. are your batteries also connected to your fuse block?
CycleCruza How long can you run your TV and stereo on that 2K inverter?
Blablabla Probably all day, LED tv's use very little energy.
CycleCruza It is a cool system you have there man. Any thought about adding some kind of small AC unit to run off that 2K inverter. Also you could probably set up a charging station for your bikes battery just in the event some one comes over and turns your bikes power on.
Blablabla Don't dirtbikes use 12 volt batteries too?
Those washers should be on top of the fuse, not underneath.
hows that inverter holding up?
works good still but I hardly ever use it, especially now that I upgraded to a 12 volt 32" LEd TV.
CycleCruza what do you do for a living
samantha001973 Pretty sure he flips houses. He mentioned it in a how to become rich video. It was on his other channel.
+__ __ (ツ) thanks
***** Buy a house that has been foreclosed on. You can get them really cheap. Then sell them for the true value.
lol, much better. Awesome built btw
TOO GOOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man, if you don't get two bars and take all those wires off the battery terminals....
Thanks for sharing the video, really learned a lot with it.
Kool van man... I may do the same thing.... lol
Thank you!! What I was looking for
