วีดีโอ

Was doing VanLife in 1981. Can't believe Pismo is still open to vehicles! Nice. '62 VW van back then.

Thank you so much!

I have a dummy question. What effects if any does charging your Bluetti have on your Transits batteries????? I have dual batteries and alternators. While driving of course.

Thank you for this simple yet very informative video.

Pal any chance you know we’re the fuse for the front right dipped head lamp

Thank you for loading this video. Stuck in the middle of the night, you came like an angel.

U call that off road. Go to the dunes 😅😅 I did in my ECONOLINE ❤❤

Lifted 4x4 econoline high top

Wash that salt off now

Is there any problem with the wires going from 12awg (Bluetti > XT90) then 10awg (XT90>fuse box)? I’m trying to find an aviation plug that takes 10awg but not sure if necessary

Thanks for the tips!

Hello there, wondering what the fuses are for having problems with my reverse lights and sensors back

Thank-you this has helped me.

Thanks for your help

When I bought my Bluetti it was the pandemic and they couldn't get parts for their usual brick (with annoying fan), so they sent me a "Fuyuang FY58807000" generic charging brick, which may be findable on Aliexpress etc. It's slower than Bluetti's one, but it's a big lump of steel and can thus heatsink itself, so is silent!

Did you have a problem with the brackets not being mounted exactly the same width apart like the instruction manual says?

It’s a countersink bit for drilling out the shoulder of a rivnut.

Thanks for the good information. I have the Bluetti AC200P and I really like it. It is all the power I need in my van. I appreciate your taking the time to show all the input and output plugs and choices.

Brilliant thanks. There's a design fault on newer ones where condensation comes down the windscreen at night if you're sleeping in the van in wet/hot weather (talking about motorhome / RV conversions here) and hits that big fuse on the side, making the lights come on randomly at night. Got to pull the fuse away from the body. Nice one Ford, very good.

Hi How hard is it to get the hock of the crank handle on the awning? Thinking of mounting one on my Transit. Thanks

Great! Thanks for showing me.

Thanks 🙏

Question please 🖐: my AC source in ram 1500 is rated at 400W and my solar panels over rooftop tent is 180W X 3. Can i attach both input to the powerstation at same time?

*Highly recommend this solar **Generater.Systems** , it is lightweight, durable, and overall functional.*

Hi. Can you load the box with an 17.8-21V and 6.6 A solar modul in car mode?

You could use one of the 5521 Barrel plugs for the cooler they have adapters on Amazon

What’s the link to that cord?

The Adventure Wagon systems have the L Track going vertical so you can adjust the height as needed. I just completed my bed build today using some of the IKEA components using this method. This method places the mattress in the cavity. I actually have 26 1/2" below my IKEA supports. th-cam.com/video/b3sA0wzzkIU/w-d-xo.html

The other end is a Phillips screwdriver

what about powering an AC unit ,,,, ( Dometic RTX 2000 , 2000W ,12 volt ) what output should I use ? and what cables

This is super helpful, thanks!!

I wish someone would do a video showing what connector goes in what output/input and what it can be used for. The only thing anyone is interested in is how fast you can kill the AC200

Thank you for sharing. I would highly recommend though at the fuse block keeping the colors straight. I would suggest changing the color of the wire at the MaxxAir Fan so as to keep it straight at the fuse panel. At the least, using red or black electrical tape to differentiate the wires. You might always know why you had the Red/Black reversed at the FSP, but others might come along and wouldn't. Otherwise nice setup.

The 4th way is to connect an inverter directly to your car alternator/battery then plug the bluetti power brick into the inverter. Charge while you drive @ about 450 watts )The cigarette adapter is next to useless.

I do not have a power seat on my 2019 cargo van. got the seat off and there’s a wire (I think it’s the seat belt sensor). Seems like it would prevent the chair from swiveling? Any thoughts?

I saw a little bit but I know what I like

I wanted to share a recent experience I had with my 2018 Ford Mid Roof van. My van has 55K miles. The battery is showing signs of dying. I have 190 watts of solar on the roof running to 2 40 amp hour lithium ion batteries by Valence inside the van that run my ICECO fridge, the exhaust fan for my Natures Head composting toilet and 2 MaxxAir fans. I paid someone to do the wiring for my solar. The guy recommended installing an isolator to charge my solar batteries from the alternator if I was ever without enough sun to charge my lithium ion batteries. You would simply switch the isolator to on and charge your lithium ion batteries from your alternator while you were driving down the road. HERE'S THE GOOD PART. My van battery finally took a poop. I got the bright idea to switch the isolator on to see if the lithium ion batteries would start the van and it cranked right up. I didn't need anything to jump start the van. It was already on board and I didn't know it would work until I tried. I hope this helps you. It will come in very handy in a pinch. P.S. I did go and buy an Interstate non AGM battery for the van. So now I have the van battery and two lithium ion batteries in my van.

Next time... after you show us "Dummies" how to plug it in to charge. UnPLUG it so we can HEAR you with the rest of the video... as you said the Charger is LOUD... making it hard to you talk to your "Dummies".

Great video... Good Information... ... but I don't like the title... negative connotation of "For Dummies".. Not funny.

Do all transits have dual batteries? I have 20' also wanting to make power for accessories for conversion is this enough power or should add a coup kor batteries and a isolation switch...I'm electrician but auto electric has me spinning a bit

I put TWO on my '21 XLT tonite. A few things.... 1--No need to drill anything, place one of the black washers provided directly onto the the "locating pin" (as you referred to it). Doing this also means that you will have to ALSO sandwich a washer between the pedestal and the swivel at each of the 4 bolts---so that all mounting surfaces will be flush and plumb. So at least 6 washers total between the pedestal and the swivel, one at each bolt and one on the end of the "locating pin" to "countersink" it. Upon final install I actually used spacers equivalent to the thickness of 3 of the supplied washers, otherwise the swivel would hit the plastic clip that retains the trim panel that goes over the tether mount on the rear of the seat. 2-- The "locating pin" is actually the end of a rivet used to secure the power seat motion mechanism and is not used at all for any "locating" purposes. DO NOT GRIND IT OFF!!!!! 3--The seller of this product created a vid for installation of this recently, its not so great, but: th-cam.com/video/CN6h_9JxaRI/w-d-xo.html 4-- In the sellers' vid linked he shows cutting 1" off the plastic skirt on the lateral side of the seat. I took 1-1/4" and it was great. Dremel with a 561 multi-purpose cutting bit worked fantastic. 5-- 2021 model has the heated seat setting button on the dash, rather than on the side of the seat. 6-- I chose not to cut off the child seat tether. Rather I bent it down. I applied 2 adjustable wrenches to the tether and pushed both downward. One faces the windshield the other the rear door, North/South. The one facing the windshield is there to support and offset the force from the other one--so the pedestal does not get all distorted and bent outta shape. 7-- 2021 model has Electronic Parking Brake standard, so none of that messing around on the drives side swivel!!! 8--Nobody really makes mention of it, but be sure to move the forward movement stopping bolt (OEM Black Torx T-45 from the pedestal) to a suitable location on the upper plate of the swivel. I used the forward and medial most leftover slot, and added an additional washer on top and an M6 x 1.0 nylock nut and washer on the bottom. You lose about an inch of forward position movement by doing this but it will not impact anything. The OEM forward most position is absurdly close to the dash anyway! I may source some more elegant hardware and appropriate spacers and create an extended stop bolt that goes into the OEM threads in the pedestal anyway....just that kinda guy, often hate myself for it! 9--But not at all last. Thank you for making this vid Micah! I was definitely hung up on the "locating pin" thing for a minute as well!

short,sweet and simple. thanx that's all i needed.

Really nice vid seeing you wire your van to the buetti was very nice and new to me ! I’m building out a van and that’s something to think about

Really cool vid ! Love seeing you hook up your van to the 200p very nice

Thank you .

Thanks for the video. What was the problem with the Scopema swivel?

I did not see a heat button on the side with the position controls. The 2019 has the heat button right below the positioning controls. How much did you cut off? Did you cut both sides or only the outer side with control s?

Why are you whispering, I hardly hear what you have to say?

Hey I bought pretty much the same van. Are you planning to use the upfitter switches and how did you run the wire?

Super helpful! Thank you! Ive been trying to find out how to access the Auxiliary switches for some exterior light bars and the 2020 Transit has me fully stumped!
