    Honest Brian, liked your Disclosure that you aren't being paid for reviewing the product, but, just to keep the ethic nuts like me happy, unless you send the equipment back, you've been compensated almost $1,000 for your time. That's the beauty of being so popular on your channel...one hand washes the other, good target marketing for any company. Be safe! 🌿

    Hi Brian, I have the Jackery 240 and it works great for me. I have no solar on my van and I did not but the solar panel for the Jackery. It charges just fine off my car when driving. It does allow me to run my 12v fan all night when needed.

    Beautiful campsite. Only thing is the Jackery test with the coffee grinder and blender really needs to be done with stuff in them. Empty they only draw a fraction of the power they do when they're actually grinding stuff and consumption goes up as the motor gets warm. I'm sure the Jackery can run them filled, but for how long and how many times per charge is a different story.

    • @wvevie7612
      @wvevie7612 Před 5 lety

      Chrome of Vancity Vanlife uses his Ninja Bullet (I think it's a Bullet) with his Jackery 240 so I think it's safe to say the 500 will grind and blend.

    The most amazing view I have yet to see on a VanDweller’s channel. The Jackery is one slick little outfit, but a bit overpriced. Many nomads are living in vehicles that cost less than the Jackery with solar panel...lol!

    Nice Video, I also have a Jackery 500 and 240... I found that if you are in a Van.. The best way to charge is get a 100W 12V inverter and plug the charge brick into that then into the Jackery... I am still looking for a DC to DC buck converter that can do 100W into the Jackery... Then you would not need the brick or 12v inverter... The max input for the Jackery is 100W...

I recall you letting us know, in so many words, your going through some kind of transition with your video's and the constant responsibility putting them out. Take your time, do your thing. But, 3/4 of this was just a commercial. This was so impersonal, nothing about you, in the wonderful way I am used to you sharing. No thanks. I miss you just loving life and sharing your perspectives. Your perspectives a much more valuable than this thing your selling. You are an escape for me and may others. Lots of blessings, your loved by many.
