Glad you liked it!

Yes this is a very good development - it will grow EV adoption.

@@VickiS0427 thanks for watching - that’s a good tip. Next time I charge on the Tesla network - I’ll try the Tesla app and see if it’s more straightforward.

@ I think the Tesla app has more billing info including total price. I made an account because I also bought the Universal Tesla Charger for home. I was having trouble with the GM one. Thanks for your videos.

Thanks for watching! Yes this is good news for our travels!

@@OBC-radio yes - these are going to be great to have for road trip planning! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the comment! Yes, I agree. I think EV maintenance is way less than ICE vehicles. Enjoy your EV6 those are great cars.

Thanks for the tip. I will look for that book.

Both sides are great - but I’m biased and I think the Iowa side is better

Thanks for watching! Glad you are enjoying your Bolt. I agree it is a great car. I would like for the fast charging to be a little faster on road trips, but that really isn’t how we use the car very frequently so for us it’s been a real good vehicle.

@@4WardJourney Exactly. We charge our EV from our own solar power, and if we use grid power here in Eugene Oregon it's 90% hydro-electric or other renewables. Our car runs on sunshine and rain. 10c/kWh from the grid, and 4 miles /kWh m= 2.5c/mile. The most efficient Prius hybrid supposedly gets 70mpg: we'd need gas to be $1.70 a gallon to make that cheaper than running the Bolt. Gas isn't $1.70, and we'd still be poisoning the locality with emissions if we did run a hybrid. And the Prius is twice the price that we paid for our Bolt.

Thanks for watching! 2023 was the last year for the Bolt EUV in its current generation. They have said that they will bring the name back again on the new GM electric vehicle platform. I think the closest thing they have right now would be a Chevy equinox EV.

Thanks for watching - the bed is called RV queen sized. For us the size was OK and the cushions were pretty comfy. If you were over 6 feet it would be too small.

I attached the black negative wire to the negative clamp on the battery post

I just ordered a common one off of Amazon, but obviously I think thinner is better if you’ve got two to choose from

Thanks for watching - yes we are starting to figure that out arriving at a lower state of charge and not waiting until we’re 80% charged speed things up on a long trip.

Hopefully the additional ventilation will help!

Thanks for watching - good luck with your quest for a Paseo!!

Yes, we did have a chance to go to Iceland. It was a very amazing trip! One of these days I will find time to put together a TH-cam about that trip! Thanks for watching!

Ha - Jeannine reminded me that yes we did make a video of our trip to Iceland. Here’s the link if you’re interested. Iceland Fire and Ice th-cam.com/video/-6TjnmUmi5c/w-d-xo.html

Have fun! It was a great memory for us. I’m sure you will have a wonderful day tomorrow. Good luck.

Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Glad it was helpful!

I connected my red wire to a fuse that was called headlight alignment. In my case it was fuse 37 but I expect it could be different on a Chevy traverse. You want to check for fuse that is tied to the ignition so It only comes on when the car turns on.

@@4WardJourney I also have the same car as you, found fuse 37, but how do i put a tap in kit to that tiny fuse? It's a 10amp fuse, but the tap kit prongs are too big to fit in that fuse hole... waiting on your reply, thanks!

Thanks for watching!

No problem!

Thanks for watching - my seat is from Corbin - it is the “young guns” model - here is their link www.corbin.com/kawasaki/kv17vaqg.shtml

Glad you enjoyed the video - good luck. Hopefully, you’ll be able to remedy it and your Solis will be back in charging action!

Thanks - yes I really like the added visibility the helmet light gives me

Sounds like you got a great deal! Enjoy your Bolt!

@4WardJourney good to know, thanks! 😀

Thanks for watching - hope you enjoy the hood lights. I used a fuse tap to connect to the fuse box - so the wires connect to the fuse tap device

Thanks for watching - I haven’t worried about sound so far - I just use the visual - but I do believe it has audio out - and if you bike has blue tooth - your phone can connect to the audio that way

Yes, I did have similar problems. The fridge was intermittently working, but I found the solution was to add extra ventilation I’ve got a video coming out soon. I’ll show how I tackled the project.

Great !! Looking forward to it . Thank you for your reply

I’m sure you could install both I think just choosing one or the other would look better

@@4WardJourney thanks 😊

@@4WardJourney when i attach it to the negative battery and the radio with the tap the light is staying on...does the fuse I take out go on the bottom or top of the tap or what am I doing wrong?

I used fuse number 37 as that relates to power that only goes on when the car is turned on and goes off off when the car is turned off - if you’re using fuse other than that, it might be a fuse that is powered independent of whether or not the ignition is on

@@daleward5483 is 37 standard for most vehicles the vehicle in question is a Toyota Camry. Thanks for all of your assistance.

Yes, sorry I had meant to include those in the comments. Here are the links. Hope these work for you: www.amazon.com/Nilight-50039R-Circuit-Standard-Warranty/dp/B07TG1ZGD3 www.amazon.com/HConce-Dynamic-Exterior-Flexible-Daytime/dp/B0BV9C3QSM

Thanks - good information - how do you protect the phone from weather while on quadlock?

Thanks for watching - good question! The fuse I used comes on when the car is on so the lights are on both daytime and nighttime. If you use a different fuse to tap into, you could have the light bar only come on when the headlights are on.

Sounds good to be on day and night. #37. Thanks!!! Mine is on order, along with the fuse tap.

Great I bet you’ll enjoy it!

Awesome! Thank you!

Thanks for watching! No I’ve haven’t experienced that specifically- I have had a problem where the 12 volt adapter I had in the accessory plug (cigarette lighter adapter) was flakey and it would reboot the device - but a new 12 volt adapter solved it.

@4WardJourney Do you have it connected directly to 12V? Because I connected it to the motorcycles usb outlet, which is 5v. And together with the device comes the cable to connect directly to the battery and a converter from 12v-24v to 5v.

@@4WardJourney oh, thank you very much for answering me! 😊 😊😊🇧🇷

Thanks for watching - I’m not sure of the regulations in CA so you’d have to check with local authorities. It doesn’t make too bright a light and there are other vehicles with full light bars from the factory.

We just did this to my son’s car and it’s dead now. It’s not the 12v either. We had it towed to Chevy. We’ll find out in a few days what’s wrong with it. Maybe a fuse issue. Which fuse slot did you use?

Yes, we have had leaks at that fan during very heavy rains. I have tried to put extra sealant, dicor, on the roof, and it has helped, but not totally solved it. I really like the fantastic fan but it is annoying that there is an occasional leak there.

@4WardJourney I've done same ,even had a professional rv center adress it ,, still get leaks from time to time

I just did another job of putting on some sealant around the fan - I found a joint about a quarter of an inch up on the actual fan housing and I wondered if water might be getting up there because the seal between the fan and the Van roof looks OK - so I’ve put sealant now around that seam on the actual fan itself- hope it helps. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Do you mean the Ford wire that connects for the seatbelt warning? - I assume that could be an option.

@@4WardJourney oh I thought it's was for when the seat was turned around ,

Great - I’m sure you’ll like it! Isn’t the Bolt great!

Thanks for watching - yes it is double sided tape

Thanks for watching! I’m not sure if the fuse boxes are exactly the same for the EV and EUV but would think they likely are very similar.

@@4WardJourney Can I ask why you put a 20A fuse in the fuse tap instead of another 10A, like the one you took out?

Thanks for the question - the fuse tap provides two fuse inputs - I put the original 10amp one back in the position for the original component and used the 20 amp for the new LED lights as that was the closest one I had that size

Thanks!!

Good question - I thought the light would be more visible if the LED was on the hood as opposed to the grill - but it may be similar with either mount position

@@4WardJourney 1 more question - what fuse # did you tap?

I used fuse 37 - it says it’s related to the headlights alignment
