    I would be concerned about the added stress on the alternator of my vehicle to be honest. This adds 40 amps or more being supplied to the 12 volt input. If the vehicle was not designed with an alternator capable of that much accessory loads, it might cause either a lack of proper charging to the vehicles starter battery, or could cause pre-mature alternator failure. Since this failure would be the result of the consumers modifications the alternator might be outside the vehicles warranty as well. I would want to check out the rated amps supplied by the alternator, and what the combined loads of the vehicles current electrical system are first. I know some people adding very power hungry stereo amps have had issues with the power demands in the past. There is a reason the 12 volt standard socket in a car is fused at 10 amps. A car alternator has a limit to how many amps it can supply, and knowing these limits would be wise. You can't just add unlimited loads to any vehicles electrical system without some research. Doing so could result in very expensive vehicle repair bills.

    i trapped myself on a towering pillar in san lorenzo canyon new mexico while jumping from spire to spire, realizing i had jumped from a taller one to a shorter one when my friend bill yelled "how you gonna get back?" I began to explore my prison, and there in the rock i found stairs carved into the rock. Someone, sometime, had done the same thing and had to carve these steps to escape. This was 40 odd years ago. Did i dream it, or was it real? anyone else ever seen them?

    • @danschilltrips7401

    • @danschilltrips7401
      @danschilltrips7401 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      thanks very much for the comment… I agree, that's some thing I thought about a lot. Having used this for a little while now, it appears to work fine unless it is a very hot day. If it is very hot, I simply remove the lid of the compartment to provide airflow. The drawers have little feet on the bottom, so there is some clearance. It works well.

  • @rmclark339
    @rmclark339 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Interesting product thanks for the video. How does this differ from an inverter? I Installed an 800 watt inverter in my truck and use it to charge my Ego Batteries when traveling and I've used it to charge my Pecron 1500. It cost less than $100. I'm sure there is a reason but I"m just not sure what it is.

    • @robertbryant173
      @robertbryant173 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      An inverter wouldn’t produce enough watts from a 12 volt battery and it would be converting it from DC to AC then back to DC which is very inefficient. Also a inverter capable of putting out 500 watts would drain the car battery.

    • @danschilltrips7401
      @danschilltrips7401 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If the inverter is hardwired, it would work fine. There would be a small inefficiency introduced by converting the DC to AC and then back to DC for the Pecron. But otherwise I'm sure it would work well.

    • @danschilltrips7401
      @danschilltrips7401 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, I' hoped for more, but I really don't know if that is a function of the charger or possibly of my alternator. The alternator that came with the 2000 Tundra is a bit wimpy by today's standards, so I have wondered if that might be contributing to this issue.

    This is my first video I've seen of yours. I do similar camping, very basic. For the past 20 years, each October i spend a week in the Big Bend National Park. The main reasons are ones you can relate to. The silence is amazing in such remote places. No highway noise. Usually not any other people around at all. I use a tent, but with weather, I'll sleep in my vehicle. I don't have a dog unfortunately, mans best friend after all. When I have a girlfriend who likes camping, I have company. But usually I am solo, and I love it. I'll do hiking, for sure. But I really like just sitting in a camp chair with a cocktail and soak in the natural beauty and silence. And the Milky Way.
