Hello, i know this chat is rather large but bear in mind that it has valid points that many people don't think about. DC power really is the future , AC grid power is unstable with the Loads being placed on it , Texas is still facing major power related issues and i feel that the rest of the world may soon fall into this issue. ( Excuse my writing as i don't write much on KZfaq and often don't care about Grammar/ Punctuation or Spelling much, because in the real world not many people even care about these things. No one is perfect and i don't try to be perfect. ) When i get my own place i plan on converting the entire home to DC powered internally . I want to try and test if everything being on direct DC without AC conversions to see how much more efficient it is over AC power in the home. Hopefully it does not cost much to have a AC battery charger to charge up your batteries to cut your solar charging time in half because most cities wont allow you to go full DC. They try and make it illegal to live in cites where your not tied to the grid, They allow solar only if you grid tie which in my opinion in itself is also a waste of power. ( I'm not sure if someone can claim to be Amish to get around this government restriction or not. ) To think about going with a solar battery setup you don't loose power should the grid go down you still have your solar to keep you up and running. My cities power station is shutting down soon because its outdated and they installed a sub station and providing power from another plant which is far away and we have already been told to expect frequent power outages or get a whole house generator to make up for it which is only going to make Natural gas prices skyrocket even more Great plan right!!! I think not. ( The grid cannot support the amount of people it currently supported because of EV's becoming ever so popular not to mention more and more homes becoming more Electrical Only. ) Most if not all homes should have 48 , 24 , 12 , 5v and 3v taps available for a wider range of applications as most larger applications require 48V - 24V to operate . (48V) for Larger high current devices like air compressors where you can step up the voltages to 115 - 125 volts DC with less power drops as most motors can run AC or DC as long as the voltages are the same for brushed motors. There are many other things that can also use these voltages. Ceiling fans from the 1880s - 1900s Also used anywhere from 48V - 115V DC , You can find videos on KZfaq about these full sized ceiling fans. Could use 48V - 24V for Mini split A/C Cooling / Heating! Could even step down 24V to 20 - 18V for laptops with DC to DC converters or old school methods. (24V) for Kitchen Appliances like fridges , freezers even LED lights should you go with 24 volt versions instead of 12V , Well water pumps or Cistern water pumps / Rain water collection . Even in the city it would help to have a water collection system in place for emergencies. Or use it to have no water bills. (12V) for medium devices , like laptops or routers , Desktop PC's using the Pico PSU's ( which i think the largest one is 700 watts though i forget now ) , TV's and Monitors . Game consoles provided they use external power supplies (not sure how one would design a drop in switching power supply for these but probably doable, portable Vacuums , LED Light bulbs (E27 Socket for USA bulbs ). Yes you can buy 12V Bulbs that look and function like the AC powered variants using the same sockets normally used in House boats and campers. (5V) for smaller devices like Phones , Tablets , Routers that only use 5v, You can also buy battery powered lighting or security devices and eliminate having to buy batteries for them. (3V) for micro devices like Status LED's / Standby LED's / Night lights and control panel devices or things like garage door openers , sensors , Alarm clocks , wall hung clocks unless you go with winding Mechanical winding clocks etc. While i want to do all of this , i know the prices of said equipment and day to day items are double if not triple the prices of AC equivalent. So not sure how the future holds out for things like this with the current prices. As one says you trade the cheaper yet expensive AC power that you don't maintain for stupid expensive DC power setup where you have your maintenance.

Just got mine in and it only came with solar charge cables and the battery link cable. Did not come with any other way to charge it up. Shouldn't be too butt hurt about it as I did get it on sale for about half what they normally sell for...

Love your no BS approach and delivery. Just found your channel...subscribed.

I've always wanted to go to Manchu Picchu. Is it safe for tourists? I know it's in Peru, but I heard Ecuador isn't safe anymore.

Bravo 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 perfect, real-world explanations and solutions. Thank you sir 🙏🏽

Excellent video. I’m going through the same thing. Please do let us know if you found a brushless replacement. Thank you !!💋

@Everlanders Awesome set up...here it is 5 years later(!) How about an update? ;>) Did this system hold up over time? @Everlanders

In Copacabana you helped us repair our step as well! And it still works! You everlanders are the very best! Enjoy ypur trip and travel save!

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing.

This was great! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the video, print and advise was brilliant. I now have a starlink camper!

Would you guys do a video or a write-up on how your rear subframe pivot system works? I know you've spoken often about how much you like it!

I have never, and I mean, never seen this level of competence and intelligence on KZfaq. Combination of your electrical and mechanical professorial knowledge is legendary, and I treat diseases for a living. Kudos to you sir.

Nice, but whats the sizes of the aluminium plates?

What kind of glue did you take to put it together? I mean - on the roof of the camper, temperature can easily go up over 60° celsius.

I have a champion dual generator that i would like to wifi on/off generator before i start well pump for irrigation. Is this something I should look into!?

Great idea and implementation. Why did you go the pneumatic route versus a linear actuator?

That's awesome! Something I'd really like to see! Thank you!!!

Ty I’m thinking of using this for a fig in also a tropical area in Caribbean where did you get your large panels

Does it draw down all the B300's equally or draw one down then start drawing from the next? Can they be hot-swapped so you could take one or two somewhere with power to recharge in the event of extended outage and not enough sun for solar?

Really cool video and a big trip down memory lane for us! Thanks and safe travels, Bert & Ilona

amazing so inspirational

Do you have a video update on your new AC? I see your outdoor unit is different than the one in your first Forest Air AC video. Would much appreciate knowing what you decided to go with!

Why don't you dump the excess electricity into a Sand Battery that could be in the middle of your water tank and put the dc water heater element in the sand battery to heat the sand ?... 😃

It seems one could use bigger Solar Panels. Thank you.

I’ve been thinking about getting this unit since last Christmas and this video has made up my mind!! Thank you!!

Woahhhhh!! Very impressive, your technical know-how is first rate. Think I felt a little faint when I saw your dashboard and you started talking about Python scripting ha ha huge kudos, thank you so much for posting!

perfect glad to hear this, what are your thoughts, do you think it will have taken dishy out when it went pop ? We cut the end off dishy and x-swapped the cables there, will we need to put back to 686B configuration? Don’t want mess it up great videos by the way

Nice system. How much water of the smaller keg can you use if you pressurize it with 40psi? I din not really get why are you using smaller keg for shower. Is it enough for both of you?

Glad I found your channel. I bought some property in Santa Marta, I've been an expat here for almost 5 years.

This one was extra salty guys! 😁

I find your videos fascinating! You do so many cool things that I wish I could do and might be able to do with the instructions that you give. Thanks for sharing! I am amazed by how organized everything is in your truck! Great job!

Wiring diagram do you have one for how you wire the complete setup 🙌🏻

Hello， I've been following your channel and really enjoying it. Is there any chance for me to work with you? My product is generator. Looking forward to your reply!
