hi ash n tom nice to meet u guys at carmilla beach last week 2 geniune people 👍yes u definitely have a beautiful van and truck to haul it around 🇦🇺good luck on your journey and safe travels 👍👍oscar n lynda 👍
Great episode, but perhaps it would have been good if you included shots of the things you were talking about instead of just yourselves in shot the whole time. Looking forward to seeing your next episode 👍
Hi guys, thanks for the video. Couple questions, I’m a sparky, inductions are pretty power hungry, How are you finding running induction and other 240v items effectively on a single circuit, off a 3000w inverter. Also are you working as a sparky on the road, I’m more an industrial sparky and thinking about working on the road. Interested in how you find things finding work. Thx Jason
@hsvme6508 hi mate, inductions are very power hungry. But we have been running alot of appliances at the same time, twin induction cooktop, microwave, theromix, etc and have pulled 370a @12v on some occasions without overloading the inverter or tripping the RCD 👍👍
@@MCCRAMADVENTURES that’s good. We are in the spec stage of ordering our new off-road van, and I was concerned with a single circuit, 3000w and running induction and AC for example that there will be tripping issues. I’m probably going to replace the supplied inverter with a Victron, that can go 50% over the nameplate kw for a period of time. But I’m trying to get the GPO for the inductions wired to the inverter separately from the rest of the 240v so that I can easily setup a seperate circuit. Not easy getting the manufacturer to understand what I’m trying to achieve.
@hsvme6508 we are very power hungry and it has not been a problem for us. How much battery are you planning on having? With the setup you have described i would recommend minimum 600a lithium and as much solar as you can possibly fit on the roof, toolboxes, etc. As that is the key to sustained off grid living. Has been an absolute game changer for us.
@@MCCRAMADVENTURES the van we’re looking at comes standard with 1000w solar, 600ahr Batt, Redarc 3000w inverter, and Redarc Manager 100. I’ll increase solar to 1400w and I’ll move all that other gear into the canopy of a new Truck. It will be either a Ram or Chev 2500. So by utilising the vans gear in the truck, nothing from the new van will go to waste. Then I’ll upgrade all of the vans electrics. I’ll go 24v with the batteries to allow for a bigger inverter and keep battery connects at a reasonable size. My goal for batteries is around 1000ahr/12v equivalent in 24v batteries. So looking at Renogy 24/200 (3of) or Custom Lithium 24/280 (2of) The inverter will be a Victron 24/3000 but may go 24/5000. Not a massive cost increase going upto 5000w even if not needing it all. I see the benefits of the 5000 provides future proofing, and it won’t be working as hard, particularly helpfully in hotter weather, when the inverter de-rates as it runs hotter.
Nicely done. Can you do again with walk through? Double the views ;-)

@@oscarsmitty thanks so much,
Was lovely to meet you both as well. 👌
Total price van?

@nzmarkb8713 thanks for the feedback. Take a look at our caravan walkthrough as it shows everything we talk about 👍👍

@hsvme6508 that sounds like a cracker or a setup!!
that table top / wood slab would drive me crazy when you're eating up and down be like trying to catch your food ...
