I went winter solo car camping in my dodge grand caravan which I turned into a campervan. It got very cold but I stayed pretty warm with my electric blanket. I take my minivan camper camping all the time, but tried some new things in this video. A lot of fresh snow on the ground, but thankfully it was plowed.

Your only talking about the output side of that equation. While 1KW of electricity can be converted to 1kw of heat energy, you have to consider the power density. He's got a 80lb battery pack that holds around 2kw, which is 2kw of heat energy. a single 4 oz isobutane canister which weighs a few oz has more energy than that. The video you reference, while a good video, is also under the assumption that accessibility to either energy source is not limited. Just because you can use your cell phone energy to boil a cup of water doesn't mean you should, especially if then you will have no energy for your cell phone.

Hey there... If I remember correctly from the past,,, Electric blankets aren't supposed to have a lot of weight on them when powered. They are supposed to go over people, not the other way around. One of the waste products of burning propane is water. Humidity will increase the longer you have the heater on... Or when using a propane stove. Sometimes it condenses on the metal above the headliner especially when really cold. Black mold can make a home. Stay safe and warm

@TolbersCamping Жыл бұрын

Yeah I’ve never slept on top of a heater blanket but worked great. I agree though it’s probably not meant for it, just a trial thing for me. Yes propane does create quiet a bit of moisture, but just like after you take a shower you turn on the fan to pull all the moisture out you can start your vehicle and run the heat with ac on for a few minutes to do the same thing as you see I did in this video. Thanks for watching!

@macdaddykwm1 Жыл бұрын

@@TolbersCamping Electric blankest also not supposed to be folded over on to themselves. This can create hot spots where one wire crosses another. Another thing is the extension cord for the hot plate. Something this high of wattage should not be attached to an extension cord. Especially one that is under a floor mat with no protection. There are reasons people burn down their houses in the winter. Most of which are related to stressing electrical systems beyond their design intent.

I’d test it by leaving it someplace safe, driving away (app off) and see of it can find its location from a mile+ away. If it can’t find/see it consider attaching a gps or AirTag to help with its recovery if needed. 😊

Nice candle...Fun story... We get to camp one afternoon in the Sierras and my Dad, who arrived a few days before, says "lucky you weren't here yesternight cuz there was a bear in camp..." I figured he was out to scare my greenhorn boyfriend so I ignored it since he was chuckling to no end all the way back to his own camp. We set up, great day until... we find the missing ice chest from the raided camp the night before (across the river and full of tooth like holes), now we know it's real... nice night until... we light a vanilla ice cream candle we brought and my bf looks at me after inhaling the pleasant, accurate, aroma... eyes wide he says "This candle smells TOO good..." slams the lid back on and hides the candle out by the fire pit. Morning comes and my Pop thinks its a hoot to send his rottweiler over in the dark to wake us up.... Bf thinks it's the real thing until our own pooch starts wagging his tail, and under his breath says "I'm never buying another scented candle again"... Still my favorite story!

You should try an induction burner. They use way less power. True you need to be sure cookware is induction compatible though.

I’ve never used one but from what I have heard that will be a better option so can’t wait to try and see the difference 😁 I’ll make sure to get the proper cookware also. Thanks for watching bro

Matt, I use a Mr Cofee Keurig to heat water for my dehydrated food pouches. I use a Generarc 1000 Watt power bank almost identical to your Jackery, it heats the water in about 2 minutes and didn't draw much at all on it.

Nostalgia Mymini noodle cooker and griddle is 260 watts. It would be perfect for van cooking.

My sister lives about 15 miles from there. I used to fish on the "Dead Sea" to your north a lot when I was a kid. Cool videos. It's nice up there and it looks cozy in your van.

Get a sherpa blanket any kind. They will definately keep the warmth in. I take a few different blankets with me. God Bless.

Love the cup. Faith over fear is the way. So thankful for your vid. I have been considering getting out this month in my Grand Caravan as well. Now I know what buddy heater to buy.

that was fun, and your wife gets you nice stuff ! i liked the wide angle shot.

@TolbersCamping Жыл бұрын

Thanks bro, it can be hard to get everything I want on video sometimes so that wide shot should help.

@@TolbersCamping it does and will probably capture the cosiness inside the van even better. Could you tell me what magnets you bought, the strengths.. looking for an awning myself, and how too attach it.

It's neat that you experiment but this is definitely glamping! Lol enjoy my friend!

Moonshine was just too experienced my budget. My vans a high top so a tarp and a few magnets with poles will do for now

Yeah it’s nice quality and convenient, but definitely expensive lol

Those heaters make me nervous....keep in mind that standard home CO detectors don't register anything below about 20 ppm. So they aren't going to even register low levels of CO and it can still hurt you over time.
