WINNER WINNER!!! Harrison Bennett! Congrats mate, you’ve won the fridge 👍
Finally, a video that explains everything about off grid power. Loved the video and the detailed explanations.
I have just bought my first caravan. I am learning A LOT!!! This video has helped heaps, a lot went straight over my head but at the same time there's a heap of things you said that finally makes things clearer. Will be watching again for sure. Thank you :)
First class demo, excellent camera work...now going to try to win a fridge!! Take care... Roy & Cheryl UK
Absolutely loved the walk through with the system as we are getting ready to do the same. Great Video and great information. Thanks Justin & Bec.
A lot of that just went over my head.. but I’m determined to learn more. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Justin.
Thanks mate
Well explained better than some van salesman can
Cheers.
Thanks Guys!! I'm just about to embark on a 2 year adventure, havent got the van yet (prooving to be harder than buying the car) but your 38 min show has enlightened me & given me more advice than any caravan site or "power experts" have in 6 months of research!! You are gems! I have subscribed & can't wait to see more of your content. Thank You so much!! M ;)
Thanks so much mate appreciate it
Guys, that was filth! Real world info prac and theory. Iv been trying to get that stuff into my head for about 18months and that just put it all together for me. Well done and thank you. Have a great trip.
Great vid guys! Thanks! I feel much more edjumukated now! I’ll be able to talk the talk with the fellas
As a carer for my wheelchair bound husband and ex grey nomad caravaners we enjoy watching your wonderful family living the dream, brings much joy to our very different lifestyle now.....keep safe out there and the videos coming.
Everyday we wait for our van. It makes me happier an happier that we went with this!
awesome !!!!!!
Excellent video! Super informative and helpful. Thank your for putting in the effort and helping the rest of us out. :)
Sweet video guys love it, just what I needed to kick start my off grid power system
Thanks guys.The most informative vid yet of how much power is needed for an offgrid setup .Love watching all the videos.
Cheers
Thanks again Justin. Great info as usual, really loved the real-time overloading of the system.
Cheers mate
Thanks guys. Really informative and practical. Thanks for the break down. Cheers!
Awesome video AGAIN 💙 Thanks guys for sharing all your knowledge, so helpful and inspiring especially when you are just starting to seriously look into doing the lap!
You rock!
Excellent video, well done guys. Great explanations in layman's terms. Very useful information to rig your van up with Solar/battery system.
Cheers for the video! Such useful and great information helping us set up our system for our lap next year!
Thank you I will ring the caravan mob tomorrow and get a extra panel added to the build
Love watching you guys
My parents are wanting to get a van so I am studying all your videos so I can help them set up there van one day.
Just loving your Channel, this has inspired us to hit the road again and do some of the places you have been. I was a tour guide 32 years ago and have traveled to many of places you have been and cant wait to hit the road again with my wife. You are an naturals at this and have an awesome way with your Vids. Thanks for all your tips and tricks, i have many tips myself and have used many of yours. Keep up this awesome channel, Cheers, Pete & Jane
As always relevant and great info 🙌 definitely putting this system in our van! Appreciate you sharing as all questions are now answered!
Glad it was helpful!
Great clip and some excellent info on solar, thanks. Carry on enjoying our great country.
Thanks for the video guys.
I have entered the competition so preparing to suck my thumb yet again.
Not sure if you have been there but Big Billy Bore campground in the Big Desert State Forest is a pearler of a campground if you are up that way in Victoria.
Great facilities and plenty of room.
Yep. I’m winning this. I got that feeling.
Keep up the good work TIAV.
All the best 🤞
Very informative, will watch a few times for it to sink in, just bought a Snowy River SR18 with solar and a generator for fully off the grid, stuff paying park fees, even the side of the road will do me overnight.
Love your videos guys, we have just bought our 1st van and can't wait to hit some of this great country. Keep up the good work.
Thanks guys and all the best.
That's some bit of kit mate even though it was like what you talking about 🤔👍🏴
The wife and I just watched your vid, excellent, so well explained, great work!
Thank you for sharing your journey, i want to get into overlanding and away from RVing eventually!
Perfect timing, was on my to do list today to look into off grid solutions if I purchase a caravan this year. A lot more to think about then simply buying a lithium battery! 🤣
Glad it was helpful! it's a killer system
Excellent video guys, all explained in simple easy to understand terms, not like an electrical engineer! Great work that gives people a way better understanding of the benefits of a well thought off grid electrical system. 👍
Cheers
It's pronounced Tee-fal, not Teffal! You were right mate 34:15
I’m always right 🤪
Tefal is names after Teflon and Aluminium and therefore “Teff” “Al”... so Bec is right!
Great work guys
And some awesome info on battery solar
Watch every week I've seen every episode you guys have put up from the start
100% tops
Thanks for watching!
Thank you - very good video. I have my first camper van so will be needing an off grid system
Great episode. Thanks!
Hot tip for you Justin. Wattage divided by voltage equals amperage. 4500 watt / 12 v = 375 amps before it tripped out. Impressive!!!
Thanks for the tips! its a killer setup
great vid i have same set up with enerdrive 600amps and 3000 120 inverter that was amazing you got that high before tripping in mine trips with coffee and milk frother toaster lol you just kept going cheers
Wow awesome. Glad to hear that your in SA. Hope to see you in Mount Gambier
Thanks for sharing about your power setup👍
Great vids and info guys. Thank you!
Good video to keep coming back to as reference. Cheers for your great work guys 👍
Your beautiful family has inspired my wife to go caravanning and me 😃👍🇦🇺 another wonderful episode.🥂🥂🍾🍺
Wonderful
@@TripInAVan 😃Hi Justin
I have 2 solar panels on my van and they are 350 watts each =700 watts. I like to know why you don’t put a higher wattage on the roof to save on space.
All the best Paul.
@@paultabone2010 the higher the wattage, the bigger the panels. The 185watt panel was the best size to fit 4 of them on the roof.
They have to fit around all the other stuff on the roof
@@TripInAVan I understand what you mean..👍😃...you are very inspiring and now have set up my van in a slightly different way . My main goal is to try to get the fridge to work on the batteries, we went away and it kept on draining the battery. I have two of them I just love your set up . Take care
@@paultabone2010 cheers
It is a very detail explanation of usage of battery in a van, very useful.
Smashing info, making me more itchy for our van build that we ordered in may last year( COVID ) to do our big lap in 2024 , great prizes too 🤙
Sounds great!
Great Job Justin & Bec.. A few Light Bulbs lit up after watching that episode. .. You made it so simple to understand... Loving your Sunday Arvo Episodes...
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks guys for this video! Really helpful. I’m building my own camper :)
Glad it was helpful!
Love your guys videos! Can't wait for us to get out on the road for our adventures!
Cheers
that fridge will be great in my canopy build, cheers guys, safe travels
Yes it will
Just upgrading battery system now, thanks to a lot of info you have shared. So thanks again guys, very much appreciate this and all your vids.👍
Cheers mate
Best video ever. Thanks. You gave me an idea of what to put in my van. Will be ready next month. Can’t wait for it to hit the road . Thanks J.
Cheers
Thanks Justin.. for sharing your knowledge and info on solar and off grid setup..Thanks Bec for the great camera work 😁Cheers 🍻
Thanks again!
This was so good. Thank you. It’s not the wife who needs appliances, I never dry my hair, no toasters or sandwich makers.. It’s the hubby with laptop running all sat, large monitor, (for both our old eyes) electric guitars, mics and power amp for recording songs . No idea what his amp pull will be but that is my dilemma. I’m the one researching ahead of getting him into a van so I can travel.
Electric guitars! Now we’re talkin
Sweet info Justin you keep it simple. Well done. Of course great camera work too Bec.
I appreciate that!
I have enjoyed your videos. Expecting to get our van in August and am currently planning to do the big lap next year. I have been using your videos as a guide to where we will go. Thanks
Best of luck!
Love watching these eps. Give me lots of ideas for camping in my horse float at competitions! Thanks guys 🤣
Our pleasure!
Great video guys, very informative. You nail everything Justin you are like a walking encyclopaedia lol. I can’t wait to show hubby this video tonight when he’s home from work. I would love to do this in our van. Only problem is being a pop top, we would never be able to push top up 😄😄😄
Awesome! Thank you!
So, this popped up as I was trolling YT for offroad caravan reviews. What a cracking post. Cheers to you and the family. We hope you're living the dream and travelling safe. 🇦🇺
Thanks to you and Dometic for the opportunity to win an upright fridge, I can already see it in the back of the Cruiser. 😁
Thanks also for another great episode it gave me a better understanding and more ammo for the Hubster to have some mega solar and a decent inverter in a van build. 😂🤞🏻
thankyiu
Love these types of videos, Thanks for sharing all that info.
Glad you enjoyed!
Guys that is the most informative video I’ve seen about electrics in a van and in terms that can be related to. Fantastic well done . Great camera work by the hair straightener person too. 😂
Cheers mate
Hello, well great video, you explained everything well to those that have problems understanding how many watts everything uses. Have a fabulous week. We have creature comforts but for us we have lived on a boat so we understand. We only free camp because we travel with 13 dogs. Anyway stay safe.🤗
Thanks for watching!
Excellent info ... husband was glued ... thank you xxx😃
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks for the video. Very informative. Been planning to put an inverter in my caravan.
No problem 👍

Cheers guys
All of your videos are unreal. I’m saving saving saving to have the same setup.
Thanks for that guys, most informative......
Bloody great video guys, haven't come across one this informative in real time usage. No questions left unanswered(for me anyway) Damn good fishing in SA, looking forward to the Blue swimmers and whiting vids. Thanks heaps.Safe travels.

Sounds great!
Another great vid lots of information about off grid systems loving it

Thanks for this guys.We are in the process of looking at a motorhome and this is the system we will putting in our rig.
No worries 👌
Absolute Mad system love to have it
Great video, good honest info.. love your induction cooker. After seeing you cooking fish awhile ago I upgraded to Lithium and bought one too. The best way to cook and it gets to temp very quick. 👍👍🍻🍻🍻🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Great to hear! so good hey
The squeeze ,haven't heard that for a while.
For the hair. Use the wagon exhaust. Blow dry, run the hair across, straighten and the if you want to change color, rev it up and there you go, blonde to brown to black, all comes down to timing.
perfect😂😂
Just added an enerdrive 200ah bat and E power board works great in our 17 millard horizon fits under the mid seat over the wheel well quite snug running 130 l compressor fridge lights led, small180 w inverter for tv draws 30 ah a day , 320w fold out panels tops up in a couple hrs
Awesome real world info n great usable discount codes. Loving what you guys do
Thanks mate
Love you guys! 18 weeks till we leave on our own trip 😄
This is a great video, plenty of info. Excellent knowledge. great stuff.
I must be going deaf.. Without having the sound on 100% and living on the edge for when a music break kicks in and deafens me, I can barely hear Justin. Tuned out at 4 minutes in, will try again when I can have the volume up on the TV .
the sound is fine on Macbook Pro ans IPad...I think you just need to turn up your TV

Lol gr8 video. Stacked with info.
Great info, love the van set up...home on the road
Cheers
Great Vid guys, off the grid system defiantly gives you more travel options, plus saves ya a heap of cash.
💪💪
When you were reading the small enerdrive gauge you were reading the minus watts, I believe this is what's being pulled from the battery. The solar input then needs to be added to see the exact power draw from the appliance. For instance the 700w toaster was pulling approx 550w plus adding the solar input of 150w =700w just as an example. Just to clarify the readings.
You did explain this for the aircon but not the others. (I did start writing this half way through then saw the air con bit. Had to edit lol)
Love your vids and the awesome setup you have. Keep up the great work and thanks.
spot on mate. i did explain at start but then didnt adjust figures as i read them out.
