      @@marcusabruce gotcha. I didn’t have any kind of entry gland so I just had to drill a hole in my roof and then silicone around the cord. But I didn’t want to drill it big enough for the mc4 connectors. So I just cut the cord, made the hole exactly big enough for the cord to fit, then spliced the cord back together after I fed it through. I did that with a mc4 extension cord I bought though. And then that plugged into the cord supplied with the Bluetti. I don’t know if that makes sense, or if it was the best way to do it lol but that’s what I did

    I have 2 of the 2400 power banks. I bought one at full price when they first came out. Just bought another at a much reduced price. They're not cheap. But dollar/pound per watt hour power. Probably the cheapest power bank you can buy. Also these will outlive me, as l think you can charge it up over a 1,000 times. I could be wrong on the number but l know its a lot, and enough for one person or a couple. The only 2 slight downsides are of course the weight of this. And the tech for usage is a little basic. Other than that l don't think you can beat this generator.

    Kool!!! I use a EB240 with a B300 Battery and 800 watts of Solar. Works well - I will have to look into the AC - my work around for the microwave is an Inverter Microwave on power setting 4. Have not tried to do the fridge yet. - That is coming later. Looked at several and the power requirements for them. My next task is a hot plate - I think I will use a cast iron top cooktop that works at 500 watts.

    • @brianrbraxton1494
      @brianrbraxton1494 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I got a BIG learning curve from July 1 - Nov 1 - we had a "Drought", Burn Bans, Big FINES and fires too that were very destructive. I kinda like to eat too - LOL So with no open flame, including camp stove, etc... I went to looking for 500ish cook appliances. Yes, I still have gridded house that I so want to divorce, but it was there for this SHTF time, and I was ok. But next time, I can cook in the Cabin [My Place of Peace] - just the Chickens and I. So I may look into that fridge you have, and the AC too or the Echoflow Wave2. I now have 5 KW to work with restricted at 1000 watts. I like to run the inverter 50%ish so I can get some life out of it. But I see a OUPS or another Bluetti in my future. As I really need 3000 watts, and around 6KW to be in a more secure poster. But for now, this minimalist system is working well. I really need 999999999WH or like 20KW - LOL - NOT!!!! Glad you are enjoying your van - keep us posted please. In two year from now - I hope to get more towards full-time at the Cabin.

    Excellent clear explanation which I will definitely follow in my conversion. Am I right in thinking you can also connect your 12V dash outlet (lighter) to a 12V charging input on the Bluetti? It would be a handy alternative while driving, just in case we have an occasional dull rainy day here in the UK....
