Bought 2 100 amp hour lithium ion phosphate batteries with 200 watts of Solar and a Renogy Mppt charge controller for my Adventure camper. Awesome set up. Do not have an inverter but I am always close to 100% on my charge.

You will be happier with a diesel heater. Those propane furnaces are garbage. On and off all the time and power hogs. Love the new camper man. 👍👍

Kevin, another great vlog. I like the fact that you are down-to-earth and that you aren’t fearful of trying new things. It sounds like your solar & battery system should be sufficient to meet your needs even in winter….at least from my experience. Take care of yourself and get out for some fun. Wishing you the best! Dave

Nice job on the solar. I got 400 watts of solar on my camper and a 200 amp lithium battery and it has done me well. The truck looks so good with the new camper. I love single cabs. The weight balance seems much better with a single cab

👏 exciting solar /battery setup! The flooring on the step is actually very nice and u did a good job! but notice it is a walnut grey tone, (2 colours in it) u only have brown swirls on cushions n nothing else complimenting that nice new step. Look for flooring that has one colour of various tone. I hate the carpet on my step n under table. Pain in the ass to clean wished they just lino covered them too, i see the new NL now are all lino flooring. My point, ugh no don't put back carpet. I have a portable rug cleaner but what a fricken hassle I wish it had no carpet. Anyway leave it for now, it will give u time to ponder some other colour n pattern that u should redo the whole flooring with down the road, n chances are you'll find a less expensive one. 🍻

I think you’re right, I’m going to just keep on the hunt for the flooring that just goes much better and stay away from carpet!

Yipes ! A nice leakproof one pc fibre glass roof, and you’re popping holes in it for the solar. Lots of RV sealant I guess. Thinking that’s why Dustin, from Destination Adventure went with the flexible stick-on ones. I hate roof holes. Safe travels. 🍁🤙

I was worried too but I’m pretty consistent on keeping up with sealant, my last one they were mounted the same way for the last year and I never experienced any sort of leaks

Kevin, great times watching your videos. I don't have technical questions because you cover most. I guess the only one I have is what is the brand of instant coffee and is it pretty good? I know it's an odd one but I don't have solar or generator so flame is my option for now. Thanks

I usually just pick up no name brand honestly, or Maxwell house, both are pretty cheap and that’s why, I’m not a picky coffee drinker and do enjoy my coffee black, thank you 😊
