Totally agree with septic first. Eric, you are the very definition of OFF GRID and do it better than anyone I've seen... You keep making videos, I'll keep watching. Travel, homesteading, off gridding, all the reviews you've done over the years, wow. You've made all of it interesting.
Don’t listen to the haters who tell you your wrong. This is your place and it’s amazing!! Your living my dream for about 2 years from now. We’re full time RV’ers now but want a place to stay half of the year and travel the rest. We don’t want a house ever again. We enjoy the off grid and riding videos the most also.
Looking good Eric. I'm one of those followers that enjoy seeing what your doing at base camp over travel videos but don't stop traveling. Isn't it just amazing how people just have to pick pick pick. Your definitely off grid in my eyes and if a person can do it, it is the only way to go. Enjoy.
You've done very well don't let other people's comments even distract you. Your plans and your property are proceeding perfectly. It's enjoyable to watch. Can't wait till you one day settle there a lot more than travel. Awesome for Opie ❤ 👌👍
Eric, I’m so glad you decided on a home base. You are being responsible in taking care of yourself and the kitties. Your place is beautiful and you are accomplishing very important things to be self-reliant. Two things still concern me: 1) not sure you have enough water. Please consider storing a lot more; 2) food, yes food. I hope you can prepare with storing food enough for at least 6 months. Just my thoughts.
Omg with the people that hate on you with their ridiculous definitions. You are off grid. You are not hooked up to anything public PERIOD. Why would people think you are not off grid because u have a hot tub or big movie screen? Not sure how you still remain so nice and let it roll. Keep doing what you’re doing and enjoying life and making videos that people who love u love to watch. We love you ❤!!
Proud of all your accomplishments at your off grid camp. Please, please be careful with the sweet kitties. Birds of prey and wild/stray/roaming dogs are their enemies. I would hate for something to happen to Opie or Tara. Build the catio soon!! And, put a top on it. Be safe and keep the kitties safe.🐱🐱♥️
You are definitely off grid. If the alternating blackouts, or any blackout happens, you're set to go. These are uncertain times, being prepared is a good thing. Good Opie feels comfy at Taterland. Beautiful kitties. 🙂👍
Adding septic first i think was the right thing to do. Having nothing on the property and digging to put the septic in made it more than likely easier to do. If you would have waited and had babe the blue box in the way, it would have been more difficult. I find this quite interesting, how you are developing the property. I am definitely taking notes for sure. You look like you had a good plan going in.
Hey Eric I am so Proud of you man Getting solar all set Sir you are a True Off Grid person Never mind the haters they just can't appreciate the things that are free in this world
Ok, here we go. Your shed, insulate it, good. Have your electrician put 30 amp outlet inside the shed. Order a Dayton portable heater with a thermostat. You can get them from Graingers (that’s where I got mine from). It will keep you shed warm for the batteries.
The idea that you can't have a projector if you want to be "off-grid" is hilarious! Kudos to you for having such a great setup with comforts and entertainment!
Eric, just watched the video... Love the definition for haters... Maybe start a comment in future videos with definitions for the haters to spam!!! Have fun with it mate!
I think you're doing GREAT! And you have no monthly utility bills. I love that you have your own place now. It will not keep you from traveling, but you do need to spend some time working on projects until it is all set up. God bless you & safe travels. ❤
One thing you want to be careful about is that the max discharge rate for one of these 12v batteries is 200amps and since you put them in series, you're still limited to max 200 amps at 12 volt per battery... that means you can only safely draw 2400 watt or less from this setup. Your inverter can do 10000 watt and even at 30amp max going into your RV, you could be in a situation where you're potentially drawing up to 3600 watt (or more if you have loads in the shed or when powering guests)... so there's a possibility you could majorly overload those individual batteries... now, their BMS might shut them off before damage, but I would not count on it. Better upgrade your batteries at some point to real 48v server rack batteries (4 in parallel would be good).
Btw: Same for charge rate... you need to make sure your charger (part of the inverter, right) is not sending more than 2400 watt to the batteries from that big solar array! I would hate to see your next video be one about losing it all to a big fire!
@@Tom-fu6sf From what I can tell, these are 1c 200amp max. But you can't multiply the discharge rate by 4 if you put them in series to create a 48v battery bank... then the discharge rate stays the same. He would need to put them in parallel in order to do that and with 12v batteries that would mean 16 of them 4x4... he really needs to invest in true 48 volt batteries and put 2 or 4 of them in parallel!
Well I gotta say you're doing everything 100% right. Probably don't remember me been following you for a while and was trying to talk you into this lifestyle a couple of years ago. You're doing everything the way I did mine. And putting the septic in first was the smart thing. We don't understand what a nuisance that is to run back-and-forth and empty. The only thing I would do now if I were you is your next big item would be a little park model home. Then you would really be able to handle the winter's out there. If I'm not mistaken park models in Arizona have 6 inch walls. So plenty of installation and you would have a home instantly with everything you need in it.
I traveled for years with three cats and they knew the motorhome where ever it was was home, It took time for me to trust that they wouldn't go very far and would always come home, but they did always come home. BUT I always made sure of where we were and the dangers of the area, like cars and coyotes and people. love your off grid experiences. None of mine were sprinters but hunters they were and might have traveled farther to hunt if I didn't watch them.
I’d love a follow up video next year to find out how your brand of batteries and inverter are working out for you. I’m not familiar with that brand. Keep up the good work. Love your videos!
As you've said before haters going to hate but be it known you are 100% correct in our head and we completely agree with your logic. Economy sucks, government sucks and well being is the responsibility of each/every American. You are absolutely taking the right path...and we support you. 😉
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS IN YOUR "OFF GRID" PROPERTY! YOU ARE DOING SO GOOD ERIC. I'M VERY HAPPY FOR YOU HAVING A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN CALL HOME. God Bless you & the kitties :)🙏🙏🙏
I know you mentioned the low temp charging on those batteries. I would see if your charge controller has the capability of adding a low temp charge disconnect/disable to it because those redodo batteries DO NOT have a low temp charge disconnect or even a low temp sensor attached to the BMS at all (only high temp). Just don't want you to end up killing your batteries.
You are completely correct about our country, and the others. I feel like there are so many people who don't have a frickin clue! Oh well. I miss being on the road. Take care.
So happy to see you more at peace. Yes, things are crooked in this world. Be glad you have your home base far away from big cities. Living off grid ain't that hard, only have to make sacrifices. Take care, Hugs to you and the Kitties!
I'm enjoying your off grid base camp videos. And, I think you've done everything in the right order. One thing that is a relic from the past, when everything requiring a battery was 12v, is the use of amp hours, which makes sense only for 12v systems. Watt hours are a direct measure of energy stored and watt are a measure of the rate of energy collection or use. Amp hours is not a direct measure of anything. Since the solar business has many different voltage systems, it's time the industry talks in watt hours, not amp hours. Many solar businesses have already come to that conclusion. Regarding the haters that can't leave you alone, they're ragging on you for one reason only, they're getting a reaction out of you. They love to see you get your pants on fire and respond to them. That tells them they have the power to influence you. If I were you, I would completely ignore them and enjoy the success you're having.
Hi Eric. Been watching you in the background for years now. Just a suggestion for your batteries come winter. I'd be sure to have a heater for the batts but be sure to set that heater at 40 degrees because if the BMS does shut them off from charging they have to attain 40+ degrees to recover and allow charging again. I know because I bought a couple of lithium 200+ AH last spring and had issues with being too cold to allow charging. Almost burnt up my controllers because they aren't lithium specific and were going crazy because they had no place to send their power to.
Still plenty to do, if things get worse, bad, you would be wise to have dry food storage, and better yet, a garden laid out, planned, a bunch of seeds stockpiled so you can grow your own food, I know that would be hard for you, veggies, but you could grow potatoes and make tater tots still. Also, tomatoes for pizza sauce, herbs to make it taste right, cheese would be hard. . and growing grains and milling your own flour not hard, but labor intensive. completley off grid. That would make for a really cool episode in the future, now that I think about it. . . :D
Way to go. A great place to go and be home. Traveling….I’m with you. It is crazy now and we all need to be paying attention. I wish I had a get away from the city home I have but I don’t. But I do have a Dodge roadtrek van. It will help me get out of Dodge ( smile) if the need arises . I do have family that has property that I can come to if needed. Your doing great.
Hello Eric Tara and Opie. You have done amazing work on your property. Its looking good 😊 can't wait to see more 😊 . Happy to see you have a home base to call home 😀. Nothing like having a place you can call home sweet Home 🏡. Give Tara and Opie a hug Stay safe out there on the roads when you are traveling 😊. God bless Take care 😊. Your friends Gerry and Pat from Amarillo Texas 😊🍺🍺🏠🏠😻😻
Hey Eric, no need to explain to dim haters. My friend's father had the best statement for this situation "Dont argue with stupid". Lol. Much love to you and the kitties❤️
I have a idea to reach to clean your solar panels for you. The window cleaner/ squeegee with a long handle like they have in a truck stop. Home Depot has them.
hi Eric, Don't even give naysayers a platform . I watch and listen to your vids regularly and all I'm going to say to every statement and warning you gave is AMEN,AMEN, and AMEN. Hugs, Louise
You mentioned keeping your batteries warm during the winter. I was just watching some TH-cam videos on using RV tank heaters to keep lithium batteries warm. Seems like a very simple solution. Best wishes and good luck!
It looked like there were two 50 amp breakers. Could you explain why there are two 50 amp breakers? One is going to the RV plug you showed, what would the other be for?
I really want to do the off-grid solar stuff like this! Especially for my well. No electric, no water. So far, my best off-grid upgrade has been chickens. I wrote "Survival Chickens" and gave CVK a copy. You might borrow it to get some ideas. Eggs are the perfect protein for when times get tough.
Eric, have you thought about putting an Apple AirTag on the cats collars. That way you might be able to track them. I realize it will only work with nearby WiFi, but in the last escape you would have known Tara was under the shed.
Do you have a 48v -> 12v step down converter for that system? If so, perhaps get one of those 12v heat mats to go under the batteries and kick on at 38°-40°F. That way, even if the temperature of the batteries drops below the minimum operating temperature, the power from the solar will kick the heat mat in when the sun comes up to rewarm the batteries. You might also consider adding some windows on the sun facing side of the building so the sun can heat it up directly.
Hello! Eric, im looking for a good company to buy solar panels...what do you recommend what's the name of the company you purchased yours from if you don't mind me asking that would be helpful.😁👍
2 differ... units, urs has circle front cover, u link to a different rectangle unit cover, older model, not as new. They need to update their website, and are selling older stock it seems.. FYI
Your planning seems well thought out to me. Most of the negative comments you get are not worth listening to. You do you, don’t sweat the others. Always enjoy your content and look forward to more. Thanks for sharing.
Nice systems Eric, you made the right decisions, you need all the utilities and septic system. You have the perfect set up ! Don’t listen to haters…..you’re off grid .
for people who can't understand what Eric was saying was basically the threat level being elevated is making him become more prepared for situations that may pop up due to overseas actors making calls for certain action
And plus as a Nomad for 14 years, I've learned that nobody knows what to do with "full time RVers" when the unknown comes. Like covid - All us full time RVs at the Thousand Trails were initially told to "shelter in place"... Which was fine until Mayor DeSantes then said, "all you RVers need to go back home immediately"... Well, what does that mean exactly? We're already "home".... and you said to shelter in place. For the MILLIONS of full-time RVs without a stick and brick home, we were so confused and scared, unsure what to do with contradicting information coming out. If sh*t hits the fan again, I've got a place to comfortably go back to.
Is there a way to make the solar system turn off and on by itself? I’m sure there is a technology for that. Something like that will help make life easier.
Eric do you go to Quartziste AZ for RV show in January We go Yuma az every year for winter and we go to Quartziste for a few days Ed and Anne It's great seeing you happy
I have 2 things. 1. Get a long rifle with a scope. 2. Get a ham license. Tech's have voice privileges on 10 meters ,2 meters and up. Go to the library and look for the manual.
Totally agree with septic first. Eric, you are the very definition of OFF GRID and do it better than anyone I've seen... You keep making videos, I'll keep watching. Travel, homesteading, off gridding, all the reviews you've done over the years, wow. You've made all of it interesting.

Careful of TP choice lol

Hose off dust before cleaning to avoid scratching the panels.
Arizona dust is very abrasive😊

Me too Eric, i bought a new toy and gave one to my church. You and and a lot of others are smart.

You've really done so much in such a short time. Off grid...even better. Catio would be nice for Tara and Opie .

I’m glad the cat finally gets to be free. I would never have a pet that couldn’t be turned out.
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS IN YOUR "OFF GRID" PROPERTY! YOU ARE DOING SO GOOD ERIC. I'M VERY HAPPY FOR YOU HAVING A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN CALL HOME. God Bless you & the kitties :)🙏🙏🙏
Ive really appreciated this playlist Its helpful as I’m searching for property and preparing myself:)
Well done!

Hello, Eric. I'm thoroughly enjoying your channel; it's both informative and captivating.
I love watching you working on your home base......your doing amazing!!
For me personally it’s all your videos that I come and watch
We put incandescent lights bulbs in pump houses to keep them from freezing.
there ya go! you could even put it on a timber overnight!
A fence and gate would be the icing on the cake for that property !
Enjoy your video's, both the travel and the homestead ones you post. Lots of neat stuff being built. Keep up the great work.
You are completely correct about our country, and the others. I feel like there are so many people who don't have a frickin clue! Oh well. I miss being on the road. Take care.

You don't owe anyone info on you accomplishments 👍
Why do you have to flip the breaker on and off every day? Won't your RV just pull power from the battery bank at night?? 🤔
Adding these to warm up batteries. We might be using during winter
Way to go. A great place to go and be home. Traveling….I’m with you. It is crazy now and we all need to be paying attention. I wish I had a get away from the city home I have but I don’t. But I do have a Dodge roadtrek van. It will help me get out of Dodge ( smile) if the need arises . I do have family that has property that I can come to if needed.
Your doing great.
Long term, for Blue's temp control, you should consider insulating the box.
Hello Eric Tara and Opie. You have done amazing work on your property. Its looking good 😊 can't wait to see more 😊 . Happy to see you have a home base to call home 😀.

This is so exciting!!
Your voice has happiness in it~
Having a Septic is 100% necessary and a great decision!!,
hi Eric, Don't even give naysayers a platform . I watch and listen to your vids regularly and all I'm going to say to every statement and warning you gave is AMEN,AMEN, and AMEN. Hugs,
Louise
Even though I am more a fan of the travel videos, I really enjoy your solar series.
You mentioned keeping your batteries warm during the winter. I was just watching some TH-cam videos on using RV tank heaters to keep lithium batteries warm. Seems like a very simple solution. Best wishes and good luck!
makes sense! Already has an auto feature that turns on when needed! I love that idea!
AWESOME progress !
And you always make me feel better
I 100% agree with you
You could just unplug the RV cord instead of wearing out your 50 amp breaker. Im just wondering if the breaker is meant to be like a light switch?
It looked like there were two 50 amp breakers. Could you explain why there are two 50 amp breakers? One is going to the RV plug you showed, what would the other be for?
Love what your doing hoping to get there one day living off grid is hard to get there but it takes time and is well worth it
I really want to do the off-grid solar stuff like this! Especially for my well. No electric, no water. So far, my best off-grid upgrade has been chickens. I wrote "Survival Chickens" and gave CVK a copy. You might borrow it to get some ideas. Eggs are the perfect protein for when times get tough.
We have some RV property outside of Kingman and appreciate your info as we prepare to make our place water, sewer, and power independent.
Eric, have you thought about putting an Apple AirTag on the cats collars. That way you might be able to track them. I realize it will only work with nearby WiFi, but in the last escape you would have known Tara was under the shed.
Letting your cats outside, with discretion, is very enriching for the pair.
Your property is looking better each day, too. Keep chugging along!
Head butting is a way that cats show affection.
Do you have a playlist for these off grid videos? I have 5 different playlist for my videos. Travel, DIY, Masonic, and others.
@nomadicfanatic where is your tailer for the car and where is the blue Harley?
So happy for you and wish you all the best,you have done amazing things in a short time ,many blessings to you and the kitties 🙏
There are mats to put under the batteries that heat them attached to a thermostat. I am going to start with a pit toliet and avoid black in my TT.
Yay Eric! Start getting some emergency food. AND IN THE SPRING start a veggie garden. But just remember YOU DO YOU !
I already have 2 cases of MRE's and lots of water. Be nice to raise 10 hens for eggs out here.
Do you have a 48v -> 12v step down converter for that system? If so, perhaps get one of those 12v heat mats to go under the batteries and kick on at 38°-40°F. That way, even if the temperature of the batteries drops below the minimum operating temperature, the power from the solar will kick the heat mat in when the sun comes up to rewarm the batteries. You might also consider adding some windows on the sun facing side of the building so the sun can heat it up directly.
Hello! Eric, im looking for a good company to buy solar panels...what do you recommend what's the name of the company you purchased yours from if you don't mind me asking that would be helpful.😁👍
2 differ... units, urs has circle front cover, u link to a different rectangle unit cover, older model, not as new. They need to update their website, and are selling older stock it seems.. FYI
Our cat goes out at campgrounds and most of the time staying under the RV.
Your planning seems well thought out to me. Most of the negative comments you get are not worth listening to. You do you, don’t sweat the others. Always enjoy your content and look forward to more. Thanks for sharing.
Nice systems Eric, you made the right decisions, you need all the utilities and septic system. You have the perfect set up ! Don’t listen to haters…..you’re off grid .
Yes to a catio... Would you name your property? Or just base camp?
for people who can't understand what Eric was saying was basically the threat level being elevated is making him become more prepared for situations that may pop up due to overseas actors making calls for certain action
And plus as a Nomad for 14 years, I've learned that nobody knows what to do with "full time RVers" when the unknown comes.

Most all the colleges in the USA are doing the anti America brainwashing !@@nomadicfanatic
Don't forget about food storage!!!@@nomadicfanatic
Good point Eric. I totally get your point. It is very disconcerting and I think that doing what you are doing is what we all need to think about.

Sewer was definitely the most important first, Apache county said only 90 days at a time unless you have sewer
👍 on the septic first.
Oh you are so cute! Your videos are a delight to watch at home or traveling.
Hi Eric, Thanks for the video.
You got everything all set up nice👍
I totally agree with you eric
Ignore the haters and they’re ignorant comments my friend, as they are only trying to make themselves feel better
Nice video, change can be good. You seem to be happier. 👍💖😉
Your plans sounds fantastic 👍😻😻
I'm glad you're using your "Prepper Sense" Eric.
Is there a way to make the solar system turn off and on by itself? I’m sure there is a technology for that. Something like that will help make life easier.
Agree. John
Eric do you go to Quartziste AZ for RV show in January
We go Yuma az every year for winter and we go to Quartziste for a few days
Ed and Anne
It's great seeing you happy
I think I will this year!
I have 2 things. 1. Get a long rifle with a scope. 2. Get a ham license. Tech's have voice privileges on 10 meters ,2 meters and up. Go to the library and look for the manual.
I love my ham radio, but I don't share all of my means of protection on TH-cam.
@@nomadicfanatic I know you don't. These are just suggestions.
when you build your battery box put a electrical heat tape ( for water pipes) around the inside of the box. just thinking outside the box.
Maybe put an Air Tag on the kids. When are you bringing the blue Harley home?
Funny 😂 I was just thinking youve been so busy we havent seen the Fur babies and then you showed us both of them.
