A tip for you: If you ever consider upgrading your laptop, choose the highest gpu model (for example choose rtx 3080 instead of rtx 3070) that is because 3080 has more cuda cores which makes it more efficient. For example if both are using 80W of power rtx 3070 gets 13tflops performance while rtx 3080 gets 15tflops!! Also: 16 hour gaming ONLY at full load which %99 of games dont use, normally when playing a AAA title(like cyberpunk), your gpu will be max and cpu will be at half-ish so you will get more than 16 hours. And if you do light gaming(like warcraft) you will get waay more than 16 hours :D

This is amazing. You really don't see van lifers like you too often who have nice gaming setups. I myself have a 'gaming setup' in my full time camper. However, it pales not only in comparison to yours but to the expectation of what I eventually want (as far as power is concerned... I'm actually quite happy with my laptop) Like you, I also have a gaming laptop. However, mine is an Asus Rog Zephyrous. It was the best option for me, being small and relatively light while being powerful enough to run basically any game I wanted while also within a price range I was comfortable with. And while its draw is much lower than yours (anywhere between 50-150 watts, pending what game I'm playing), my battery and solar setup are lacking. I have a the Ecoflow River Pro and a 100 watt solar panel mounted to the top of my car. I do have a 2nd 100 watt foldable solar panel which I can deploy when I am parked and not moving and that connects into parallel with the other panel. On a good day, my 2 solar panels will be able to make up the power loss by my laptop. I eventually want to make it 2 100 watt solar panels mounted to the top of my car along with my foldable for a total of 300 watts. Also former WOW player here. I play ESO now-a-days.

For the vr i also play games like beatsaber within my van. My battery bank tho to play and do other is a total of 935AH in lead acid batteries and i have been like this for 3 years now. I ocasionally stream from my van with my internet also that i have hooked to the van.

Awesome stuff! Something that might help you with the laptop though is looking into DC-DC charging. Basically, your inverter is never 100% efficient. So you're losing a bit of power there... and then the power brick for the laptop converts back to DC anyway, so you lose more power there. Just rough napkin math you should be able to shave off 10-20% of total power loss compared to your current laptop power draw. Anyway, nice setup! The Mac could modded to work off DC directly, but that's insane with how low the draw is anyway.
@peytonmac1131 2 жыл бұрын
Can be hard to find a DC-DC charger for a 230w laptop. Most chargers tap out at about 150w. It really depends as well on if it's needed. I have a Nitro 5 laptop, a vive VR, a fan and internet all running at the same time and it altogether only pulls about 160w~ at max. A DC-DC charger could save a bit of power, but costs enough that it's not really worth it.

Wrong voltage will kill the computer, and not enough wattage could set the power pack on fire.

I personally use visible for my phone plan so I'm excited to see the video where you switch to them for the "Unlimited" data they offer. When it comes to the data I've noticed that rather than throttling at certain bandwidths they throttle based on congestion/area, so as long as you are in a remote location I'd imagine you would indeed get the full "Unlimited". Not to mention they are rather cheap relative to the price you pay with bigger names.

Cool setup! I wonder if it would be possible to make it even more efficient by hooking up the laptop directly to the DC system. The laptop power supply (power brick) takes AC power and converts it to DC, so the power is going DC-AC-DC, and some power is lost as heat at each conversion step. So if you could bypass the power brick and use the DC power directly it might be more efficient. You'd also have to make sure it's the right voltage, of course.
@blakeandrew5058 2 жыл бұрын
It's really not worth the effort and cost though. After your done finding a quality converter that can deliver 240W with a good efficiency, your saving maybe 20-30 Watts for a pretty penny of time and material, whereas you can just add another battery module or solar cell.
@stephanecorriveau6982 10 ай бұрын
@@blakeandrew5058 you can find DC adapters for (nearly) all laptops. My laptop operates that way, bypassing the inverter altogether with a $9 cable. Added bonus: losing the power supply brick present in the AC cord.

I think your setup is perfect. A 2070 is plenty for most games you play, and going with a laptop also saves you around 300 watts. For the m1 Mac mini you could’ve got 32gbs, but you shouldn’t see a major difference in performance, mostly just faster when your multitasking or editing?
