Colorado, no tiny azz heater? Any tiny heater would warm that thing...Glad I only spent a small time watching this channel as you guys obviously care more about your cameras than actually using the trailer.
I dont have the video recording equipment you have but for both my Nikon cam and Cannon video recorder i searched and found charges that are not only 12v friendly but USB. I think Nightcore was one. Laptops also have this capability however mine does not. Next one it will be a priority on the feature list. I try to avoid need for AC power. Inverters some worst that others are a big waist of power in the conversion.
wow! thanks so much! this is incredibly helpful for us. love knowing the speakers draw so little and i guess i'll rethink the coffee maker in my plans. this whole series has been so helpful for us. now i gotta clear out the garage and gather some tools. oh, did you ever tally your expenses?
Hey guys, I'm actually getting ready to start my CLC Teardrop build in the next few weeks. My power needs certainly aren't going to be the same, but your videos have been incredibly helpful as I've been planning out how I'm going to tackle this project. I'd like to learn more about your choice of solar panels. Do you have any recommendations or words of wisdom on what to look out for?
Thanks a bunch! I had also been considering the flexible ones for the same reason, I liked the idea but still had my reservations. I ordered the roof rack with the intention of going with rigid panels. This helps. Thanks for sharing, I appreciate it!
Wow, that CLC teardrop turned out beautiful! As far as charging your DC devices, you would need a dc/dc converter to get the right voltages. May as well just use the ac/dc adapters that come with your equipment, since the ac infrastructure is already in place. I don’t know where you’d get a dc/dc converter for your particular needs.
Hi guys, as you travel into different climates it would be interesting to monitor your electric system. Batteries are optimum at room temperature; they lose efficiency in desert heat and mountain snow. Be a fun project.
Great video. Good to see how well your power system holds up to the loads. Show a typical getting ready for sleep, how you cook, how warm or cold the shell is, getting in and out for night time, etc...sort of a 24 hour look at the use.
Hi it's great channel you have keep going , about your question " why we don't use DC direct to charge our electronics?" Each product had different voltages and Amps ratting, so you will notice in each charger have number shown the voltage, not all products work with 12DC volts. You can buy DC\DC converter but it's not recommended.
Great video! Thanks! Have you looked at the popular Mr buddy propane heater? Cheap, efficient,safe inside trailer. No co issues. You must know about the butane stove that takes a mocha, espresso pot on top. You've got lots of room for the AC espresso machine maker though and it is convenient. Really great setup. Looking forward to more!!!!!!!!!
Hey, I love his video and it brings up a really good point. By turning on the inverter you have some efficiency loss. To add insult to injury, those transformers that convert the AC to DC have their own loss of power in the conversion. You would be right to ask why not keep it in DC. Most electric devices that run on DC have a voltage tolerance range. That is, most of the devices you were looking at will charge without an issue from something like 6 V to 12 V or higher without harming the device. Below is a link for the Mac that I googled so while I can’t comment on this product in particular, it has USB charging and it’s output is defined by the draw of the specific device. . Also, beware of overdrawing your alternator/car battery. If your teardrop pulls more power than your alternator can put out, this will slowly drain your car battery leaving you stuck. Hope this helps. www.zapals.com/60w-car-charger-magsafe-power-adapter-for-apple-macbook-pro-13.html?geoip_country=US&gclid=CjwKCAiAn5rUBRA3EiwAUCWb22aKuta0f4YWuRHg0iqOUrqbYXFUR3EllxiBAljUyU6UV5IIobQC-xoCWPwQAvD_BwE

I may have missed it. Have you tried it with everything on ?
