@annabelmgraham absolutely agree. Why they did that is beyond me and a total pain. Definitely a poor design on that part.

Thank you for subscribing!! You can catch me there about 6 days a week! 🤣

No that just happens to be about the 3rd set of shocks I have had on the canopy (no fault of the tent as was before I even had it) so I gave up and use vice grips. Lol

Thank you! I just finished another one but with a better battery. I got the 1500 watt inverter at a garage sale for $10 American! And the battery just down the street for $30 at another sale!! Pretty happy with it so far!

@@overlanderbenny3789 wow you sure are a great bargain hunter mate thanks for sharing!

Yakima bars are on the canopy a.d I mounted my solar panels to them. Works well so far!

@Overlander Benny are they just glued too canopy as I could not see screws...thks for reply.

@Michael-ym4qh there are brackets bolted to the canopy and the bars lock on the brackets with a key. Unfortunately does require holes in the canopy.

Agreed. The poles are way too difficult to get in the pockets without tearing!

Correct. And although the battery is not the best (easy upgrade when money allows) the unit puts out twice what the goal zero does, meaning I can at least run a saw, which I can't say for the goal zero....

Just be sure if using a lead acid battery it is well ventilated!

Were you using the rain fly? Possibly spray it with camp dry or similar? Although I've oy had mine in the rain a couple times, and I would say those were "storms" really, I didn't have any issues with leaks. That's unfortunate and hopefully you can get it solved! Thanks for watching!

Those Amazon fuse panels are trash. You can read 11.45volts with the fuse pulled out … very dangerous

Great question and thank you for watching! Headless mode is achieved by entering the app on your phone. Click the icon that looks like 4 boxes connected together. From there you will push the star * icon to turn on Headless mode. To turn it off, simply tap the star * again! I hope this helps. If not feel free to message me and I can send you instructions from the manual!

@@overlanderbenny3789 Thank you so much, After two different HS GPS drones broke connection at some point and simply fell to their death, which has never happened to any of my non-gps drones I plan to try and simply fly without GPS using all manual settings, Actually I did not even want the WIFI on, just use the controller settings. I guess I will not be able to use headless mode if that is the only way to engage it. By the way, I super enjoyed your video!!!!!! Take care!!!!! Charles

It has a cord to tighten around the back of the SUV to keep it snug against the vehicle. There is also an elastic around there that is usually sufficient so far. My biggest problem with mosquitoes is if I open the door for a split second! I really wish the door could zip from the bottom up and remain attached on the side instead of it falling on the floor when opened.

The lighter only has a positive and negative so I ran the positive to the fuse and the negative to the grounding block. The fuse box is powered from the battery so add a fuse and done! Thank you for watching!

I personally have a goal zero solar generator that I use for a my lighting, cell charging, stereo plug in....I can charge that with the solar panel on my roof or with the cigarette lighter in the truck when it's running. I also use battery powered lights often, and they work great as well! Thank you for watching!

Agreed. Very tight and frustrating. I actually tore mine a bit trying the first time. Try doing the Ridge pole first possibly if y9u aren't already. I usually put one end in and then bow the pole as much as possible before putting it in the pocket. It's still a struggle though and something I wrote in a review to them....

I can't wait for van life! All I need is a van! Lol. Doing a cargo trailer conversion now and next will be a bus or van for sure.

So far not bad, no more tearing. I take my time more now though and make sure I don't over stretch or snag anything. As long as I'm careful I haven't had any more issues with seams. Thank you for watching!

Thank you! I appreciate your input! God bless you as well

Does it say sine wave? Nope! Does it say top of the line components? Nope! Everything was under $200 even with the 1980s math I did, so before you comment rude crap, make sure you know what you're talking about! Have a great day!

I believe this one is on the rear bottom but I have several so I can't be sure. I'm currently at work so I don't have access to the drone but I will try to remember to check that later.

I love the home built units. When something goes belly up you can fix it yourself. I built quite a few battery/inverter boxes and my drive is to cram more into a smaller space. Ain't cheap!!!!! The last unit I built fits in a MinnKota trolling motor box and has a 200 amp hour lithium battery inside. That's 2560 watt hours, equal to 4 of the 87 pound deep cycle batteries. There's no solar charge ability (yet) and I added a 300 watt PSW Bestek inverter on top held there by Velcro. But I can strap on the 1200 watt Bestek inverter if needed with a jumper cable. It can run a 4 cu ft fridge/freezer for up to 8 days before needing recharge. Lithium batteries are coming down in price but still a lot of $$$$$.

@The Solar Junkie Don't worry about it. When the shit hits the fan, I will burn old bus tires to keep my family warm. Old railroad ties, too.

I agree. I have found a nice sealed battery for about $225 US dollars so that will up the cost a bit, but well worth it I think! They are able to drain more and hold a charge much better. Still a much cheaper option than say a yeti or jackery I think.

I did have to change my legs because it was just a bit too top heavy with these legs. Maybe I should consider a secondary burn chamber of that sorts as well! Let me know how it works out!

Unfortunately I do not know how to share the link from my app, but if you search hs110d on Amazon it is the first one that comes up! I will keep working on figuring how to add the link. Thank you!

@@overlanderbenny3789 Awesome. Thank you. But, if this helps, when i go to a website on my phone, i click on the address bar on top of the phone browser and hold my finger on it and then a small window comes up on the text and i click in select all text and then click on copy. After that, i just add it into a text message, or anything that i type by holding my finger in the text message until a window with paste appears and then ckick on it. Thanks for the videos, information, and content. Keep up the good work!

@@mediocreman561 I think the problem is I was not on the site, but the app, so it doesn't have the web address or search bar at the top! Hope you find it and thanks for watching!

Yes I would definitely have it in a box vented to the outside if possible. I highly doubt it would be harmful in the van, but better to be safe than sorry. For the van I would spend the extra money for a sealed battery so no gasses can escape. The rest of the setup could still be used! It would raise your price, but it would be minimal for that piece of mind.

@@overlanderbenny3789 Awesome thank you. Do you mean an AGM?

@@anniebeasley92 that would be ideal for sure! But they do sell other kinds of sealed batteries that would be suitable for inside a van as well. I believe some brands like Optima have sealed batteries that would be fine, although probably not as good as a AGM.

Not yet! But I also have a dog with me so possibly the scent is helping there as well. It will seal up pretty well around the suv with the elastic and straps provided, so you shouldn't have a problem making it rodent proof. (Other than they could chew through I suppose...)

That's a good question! I've never really thought about timing that to see. I do think it takes quite a bit more to bring this unit to full charge though, as it is much bigger. For example I can watch about 2 movies on my 7 inch DVD Player with the yeti. This will easily run the DVD all night and the fridge as well. It has substantial more power than the yeti, no Matt what the other comments may say. I run them both so I can attest!

@@overlanderbenny3789 Do you charge your lead acid battery on solar?

@@scottboyte yes I do with the harbor freight 100 watt panels and controller kit. It was about $189 last I seen for the kit and comes with everything you need but a battery. I had to make my own adapter to charge the yeti from the harbor freight panels, but the yeti has a built in controller, so I go straight from the panels to the yeti. The harbor freight controller is mounted to the side of the box I made.
