Boston Terrier Goes on a Chill Camping Trip
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?
6:15 Is the charger going to overheat being in a sealed compartment? Insulated on most sides by carpet.
I wasn't sure if it would. I've run into heat problems on the hottest days, O I found a way to ventilate the compartment. I think I might make a vid to show what I did. Thanks for watching!
Great video! I see it has cooling fans, wondering how warm it gets when under full load?

Did you ever figure out the exact functions of the LED? It is not documented. Sometimes green, red, or flashing red. I want 500w as advertised.
No, I didn't. I'm not really sure under what conditions you'd get the full 500w, I usually get about 350.
@@danschilltrips7401 Same. Little disappointed
for clever guyz, disamble it, change fan for noctua fan and you are good to go quiet with this device. Hope I help you and someone will make videocomparation with stock fan and noctua fan
Great video. You’re the first to show the Pecron community a complete install!
Thanks! 👍
this is Brilliant , Would be cool if you could wire a plug to inside house and if you had a remote car starter and power goes out instead of owning a gas generator you just start the vehicle
Thanks for commenting! I don't think that would work very well - this car charger produces very few total watts compared to a gas generator. You will be happy to know that I do have a gas generator, and it has a remote start. :)
That thing has a fan and needs airflow to stay cool. You may want to reconsider your installation.
It might get a little hot in that box where it’s installed in the summer. You might be able to drill a couple holes and add a little DC powered fan?
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.
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.
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.
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.
What kind of cordless drill did you use? All I can see is Milwaukee, but which model? Thanks!
that's an 18 V.
Thank you for making the video very simple and CLEAR TO UNDERSTAND! Great job!
Glad it was helpful!
thanks for the vid... i did my install and cant get it to go out of green non charge mode going into my power stations even playing around with cables and the dial. also is the blue led on the power button stay on even with the engine off? mine does...
Yes, the blue LED stays on all the time... let's see if we can get to the bottom of your problem. Which power station are you using?
Does that mean it’s always drawing power off the battery? Wouldn’t the battery die?
Can you turn/adjust the starting voltage dial while the device is charging to see how that affects your output watts?
Yes, indeed!
Nice. I'm doing my install this weekend. Thanks for sharing this. Thought you'd get more than 380 since it is a 500 watt charger
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.
Very nice install.👍
Thanks 👍
Nice!!
Thank you! Cheers!
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.
Sounds like we enjoy the same trips! Thanks for watching!
Nice job documenting your trip. Just out of curiosity, where did you start in WY... someplace in the Wind River Range? Cheers!
That was Louis Lake in WY - found it on iOverlander! There's an earlier video on that campsite if you are interested. Thanks for watching!

Nice place Great fair Enjoyed your goat head in the shoes Pay at court house
Thanks!
Half the video is a guy making ramen in a van….i bet it takes you 20 minutes to minute rice
Another nice trip! Nicely done as always.👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
That spot is pretty awesome been there enough times. There’s nice spots in the Gila that aren’t heavily used that are similar to San Lorenzo canyon
It was amazing thanks! I agree with you on Gila.
Very beautiful spot!!👍👍👍
Yes it was! Thanks for watching!
Amazing area and awesome campsite! Very nicely done as always!👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice campground! Nicely done!👍
Thank you! 👍
Exactly what I was looking for
Can you please tell us more about your heat diffuser for the firebox burner? What source of metal? What size, and how many holes?
Sure thing... that's a disc of aluminum (not sure of the thickness) that I cut to size on a plasma cutter. Then I drilled about 25 holes through it, and countersunk the holes to remove any edge burrs. It works great for simmering. Thanks for watching!
Very cool!👍
Thanks! 👍
Hi Sir. Sorry for what you are going through. I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer back in April of this year. I’m working on getting my truck ready to start camping early next year. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos for tips on truck bed camping. Take care
Thanks for the kind words! Good luck on your own camping adventures next year!
Best of health to you.Glad you're recovering so well, a friend from Texas. Also digging that stove you used. Will get one soon add to my collection of camping stove. Have a thing for them...Thanks
Thanks for watching! Yes, that stove rules - you can choose the power of gas or the blesses silence of alcohol. :)
Wow, watching rocks turn to dust is more exciting
You sound like a great person! :)
Great response Dan @@danschilltrips7401
I just found this channel. Sorry for your health problems. I've had cancer twice. Boz loves the blankets! He's a cutie. Enjoy your campout.!
Thanks so much! Sorry to hear of your issues - glad you are better!
your frosty bosty is adorable
I know - he's so cute! Thanks for watching!
Hey, not sure what issue I had. Probably user error on my end. Enjoyed the rest. Thanks again.
Good to hear!
Looked like another fun trip. No issues with the video. Nicely done.👍
Thanks 👍
Enjoyed what I saw, quite a storm. However, I wasn't able to watch after 7:48 for some reason.
Strange - worked fine at my end. Let's see if others have the same result. Thanks for letting me know!
Hey friend I'm originally from Missouri your living my dream can't wait to az
Lots of good spots there!
Do you always need to swear when cooking ? Pretty offensive dude.
Didn't even know I was swearing!
Totally Enjoyed watching your trip ! Beautiful places and scenery 🌄
Glad you enjoyed it!!!
Eastern montana is the same. So much dead grass. If you dont mind me askin, what do you do for work? You said you work remotely, and caught my attention. I rode my bike to glacier this summer. Its incredible.
I'm an adjunct professor - i work for five different schools. The upside is it leaves me very flexible, the downside is I need signal to work, and I like to camp in remote spots. :)

Yahoo! you did breathtaking - take it easy,
Thank you so much!
What type of stove are you using?
That's a Trangia 25 - made in Sweden. Love it.
Second video of yours I’ve watched. Eventually I’m sure I’ll watch’em all. Love the laid back style and the scenery. I’ve all ready been looking into your stove setup after seeing it in your Montana trip video. I’ve got well over a dozen different stoves for car camping and backpacking. I need this stove in my inventory. Thanks again for taking us along. Surely you carry concealed, by yourself in the middle of nowhere it makes good sense to do so. Enjoyed this a lot. Greetings again from North Missouri
So glad you like the vids! I started doing them just as a sort of journal - I figured I'd forget the individual trips and my friend suggested filming them. I never guessed anyone would watch them except for a few friends. I do normally have a firearm or two with me, depends on the trip. In Alaska we were armed to the teeth and Canadian customs detained us for a while. :)
Was good till you cursed while cooking. No more of you.
LOL - if you've never cursed while cooking, you've probably never cooked much. But clearly you like judging much. To each his own. :)
Gee Wheez Really ! Who don’t pop out a few words…. He needs to move on …
Thanks for sharing your trip. I enjoyed the hell out of it. The “mediocre cooking” was right up my alley. That’s my style, nothing fancy just good food. I got to look into that stove setup. What camp table is that? Once again thanks for sharing. I’m in North Missouri so anything that isn’t a farm field is interesting to me😀.
Thanks! The camp table is the "CampLand Aluminum Table" which is currently $59 on Amazon. The table is great, the bag it comes in stinks (cheap zippers). The stove is a Trangia, which is super popular in northern Europe but not so much here.
Awesome Cooking. !!!!
I didn’t realize this video mostly consisted of mediocre basic cooking. Also, please don’t feed any wildlife no matter how small and cute you may think they are.
These videos are my own journal of the trip, so I include the things that I am interested in and that I enjoyed. I’m sure yours would’ve been different.
