It's been a while since we did a truck camper update and recently I added some LUXURY goodies to make my off grid truck camping experience even more comfortable. Now my RAM 2500 truck camper has a fridge freezer with an ice maker as well as true solar charged, battery powered air conditioning. Plus a new EcoFlow power station with enough juice to keep everything running non-stop!

It's funny how this country gives us the freedom to enjoy the outdoor life and the difference we both see from being ex-pats. Don't get me wrong I love the outdoors in the UK but this young country offers so many different things and for me living in New Jersey the proper seasons just really blow me away, the light here is just magical some days. Keep living the dream and making the vlogs Adam 😉🍺

Dude, ice is a MUST!!! I grew up in the OC, and ice was so hard to have out and about in the 80’s. I just came back from a 5 day camp out in central Oregon, and it was dry, so there’s that too. I’ve got a 5 gallon water jug that is always full of ice, always, lol. Got an ice scoop, so you can have ice in your drink glass too!! Did I mention ice is a MUST?! 😅 oh sweet sweet ice!!

Tighter air seals for exhaust will probably do more to make ac to work better than anything else. If you want to reach and maintain temp and have max efficiency. I deal with this all day for work so I would make air tight port for exhaust tube. Dollar for dollar effort for effort does more than insulation or anything else.

@AdamSwords Жыл бұрын

Great information! Thank you

@r33dunky 11 ай бұрын

Couldn't agree more! Adam you should definately try and block up the sunroof better around the exhaust duct to avoid hot outside air being dragged back inside. If you imagine that all that hot exhaust from the A/C is being blown outside, the air pressure inside will be lower and will try and equalise by bringing hot outside air in! We use a portable unit in our kitchen and i just cut a hole in a piece of board to block up the window opening fully and only allow the exhaust duct through. Makes a MASSIVE difference on all portable A/Cs of this type. Fab video, loving your work!

@AdamSwords 11 ай бұрын

I will absolutely follow this advice and make a better seal!
