Didnt actually listen to a word you was on about Neil concerning the ecoflow thingy, because my eyes were drawn to watching Emma getting changed in the background!! 👀🤣🤣👍
I was trying so hard to not focus on Emma but listen to you Neil with some success of listening to the ecoflow talk. Did she even know where the camera was pointing?😂
Since you left your house and travelled around island you both have been nothing but full on vanlife entertainment 😊 . Neil you always explain and everything on the products you fit to your van look forward to your next vlog ❤.
She gets stuck in that one . Dosnt mind getting covered in oil ripping the skin off Nuckles and getting the job done . But could never compete with my hair tho . But hey still love her lol
Neil I would tape that plastic key for the eccco flow connectors to the bottom or top of the unit itself. Great vlog, great tutorial. Good jobs done. Dogs are great by the way, we have 2 little ones they make everyday a good day.❤
Nice upgrade there with your alternator charging options, loved your label on 1+2 😂 Good point on the plastic key,that’s the sort of thing I would lose so would tape it to or near the unit. Pleased you got your gas tank sorted too. Have a good week, all the very best, David 👍
Hi Neil. I got the bluetti Ac200 plus the expansion pack B230 powering my van. Very similar to the eco flow. They also brought out an alternator charger which I was tempted to buy. However I’m just using the main AC charger using an inverter to power it. Been working fine. I manually turn the inverter on when needed..
Love the Saints sweatshirt!!! Unfortunately, they lost today, but my university-LSU-won in overtime last night. I turned on TV after tossing in the towel on grading for the day and there the two of you were. Good timing while awaiting the arrival of the Amazon delivery of my Klarus light and chalkwriters. Amazon map says driver is two streets away. Enjoy the week!
No way, you’re in LSU! We have good friends who live in Baton Rouge, we stayed with them for 8 days in 2023, drove over to Dallas too and had a lovely time! Amazon have taken that feature off in the UK, can’t see the stops anymore … must have had too many complaints 😂😂
@@UrbanVanlife I teach journalism at LSU and live 3 miles from campus near City Park. 40 years at the local newspaper here and now starting my 11th year at LSU. I am hoping to have enough energy to teach another two years. I still act like a spring chicken regardless of about to hit 73. One thing TH-cam has taught me is the world is very small; I’m frequently finding or making friends all over the world. Y’all have a wonderful video presence! I totally enjoy watching.
Just for your info the cable which ecoflow supply isn't rated for 125A even thought that's the fuse they give you, would recommend getting a 100A fuse for a couple of quid for peace of mind.
Fitted mine to my VW-T6 about 2 months ago now, run it at 600w to be sure it doesn't give any issues, just received a 3x way switch to have the output from the Ecoflow go via the Van's 24v input cable or Onshore Power when on a site (Plus an Off Position) so any of these - Ecoflow/Onshore/Off.
Hey Neil....You have a great way of teaching! You explain things really well, I'm glad to see everything is working out for you guys. Thank goodness Will has a shop! So, next adventure????????
Yeah it was a though job to get the bar in took us a lot longer than we thought … especially getting it bent 😂😂😂 Hopefully we will be back your way at some point and call in for a brew 😊
Not best pleased to say the least, we only found out about it through a comment on here, we did not speak to them we did not give permission for them to use our images etc, they need to go and do some real journalism instead!
I’ve just googled it and I totally agree. The Sun needs to do some proper journalism not just pinch images and take quotes from the videos and then create a story without them interviewing you first.
We bought the Alternator charger but stupidly did not check for the port. We have the delta mini. You would think Eco flow would have this for any of there power banks. So looks like might have to upgrade our power bank. The delta max seems the best at the moment 😎
Yeah it’s easy to get caught out not checking for the port but an upgrade could always be useful, who doesn’t like a bit more power, but also agree it would be a good option to have it for all three
Emma,Mrs kwik Fit there 😍 6 Passes of a Trimmer Would Sort that Pineapple Top out 😂 That Charging Jobby ,good Piece of Kit👋🏽👍 When u going bk to the Emerald Isle? Good Vid 👍
Question my van has 150amp alternator as standard so if i wanted to add this i assume i would need a 175amp or 200amp alternator to compensate for the extra draw ?
You could run it of your current alternator but all depends on how much drawer you are pulling off is at the moment which is quite easy to find out with a volt meter if you’re only pulling low amps off the alternator you have and I can’t see why it would be an issue running this maybe not at the full 800 W bus. You certainly get more charge than you would offer a cigarette port and you could like you say always upgrade your alternator later on
Hi guys Love the channel, I'm new to van life and just bought a 16plate vw t6 and a little lost, I've solar panel with a leisure battery which I assume gets topped up from the solar panel but I've never plugged into the mains Had van 2 months but it's definitely not a day van as I only use on day trips I've checked the battery life and it still seems good But am I slowly draining the leisure battery due to not using van much? I see some van when not in use plugged into mains
If your not using it it won’t stay full and it will deplete over time all batteries do, in the summer the solar should keep it topped up depending on what panel and battery you have etc but in winter it won’t be as effective due to obvious factors like the sun not being as strong basically
Are you both still around Mersyside. I am after some knowledgable person to wire up my van to charge my batteries from van battery. Was put off doing it myself when people talk about amps and voltage and stuff. Got box of wiring to put 230 and 12 volt together, But no idea. I can wire lights etc myself , Just need the main stuff doing. Can you help. Ivor i pay you or an electrician, But you know those vans and electrics.
Great how to video but yes EMMA gave a better content changing her top 🤣 in the back ground, at 3 min in. I honestly could not concentrate on what was being said 🫣, thanks will for letting out your work shop top man, have you wax oiled the under side of the van it would help with the rust thats there just a thought on the next job 😉 stay safe guys see you on the next one. Michael 🫶👍
Glad you r all OK and all the little dogs to.
Thank you 🤩

@@chrishoughton510 you saw that as well... I noticed and came right to the comments section after to see if anyone else saw 😂😂😂 cracking
It’s as if Emma didn’t know I was filming in front of the van . Or did she 🤔🤔🤔🤔.
@@UrbanVanlife it is funny though, hope she wasnt embarrassed. Poor lass. We never saw anything anyway... On 360p... 1080p however 😂😂 joking
I was trying so hard to not focus on Emma but listen to you Neil with some success of listening to the ecoflow talk. Did she even know where the camera was pointing?😂
@@Jackfinn456 poor lass probably didn't, just hope she isn't too embarrassed, she seems like a total star as well
Great videos, guys . You two are good together ❤
Since you left your house and travelled around island you both have been nothing but full on vanlife entertainment 😊 . Neil you always explain and everything on the products you fit to your van look forward to your next vlog ❤.
Thank you for the kind and lovely comment we really appreciate it ♥️♥️
Great job both 😊 love the ginger mullet. 😅😅😅😅😅
Thank you 😁
OMG An 80's perm that has gone wrong LOL. You nailed it!
Well if the cap fits 😂😂😂
Love your vids, Neil and Emma. O and the little dogs to.
💟 Go Emma, girl power under that van , impressive. Wow Neils hair, it's got attitude & altitude.
She gets stuck in that one . Dosnt mind getting covered in oil ripping the skin off Nuckles and getting the job done . But could never compete with my hair tho . But hey still love her lol
@@UrbanVanlife LOL that is a fair point 🌻

Yer I had to add that to the switch not even for comedy but for me cos I just know I’d have put it on there at some point lol
Your one clever sod! Nice work Neil! ❤❤ Paul & Lin.
Thank you kindly 😃
Great video as always good on will for letting you use the workshop.
Thanks and Will is a good egg 🥚

Hopefully we will be back your way at some point and call in for a brew 😊
I was checking my news feed on google and there was a long article all about you 6 and youre van life. From the Sun

@@UrbanVanlife Thats why a said, incase you didnt know.
Yeah.....Im sure we do get quite a bit more rain than the UK....but that's why we have such great dairy.
Great job on the van.
Thank you 🙏
good see you got vlog out on channel and gettin work do on the van and shareing the vlogs you do thanks lee
Thanks Lee, straight back to fixing things 😂😂
Thanks for sharing another great job
Thank you! 🤩
this looks like Will's garage LOL ... Hello from Georgetown Ontario!
This wills garage lol
2:03 How is it foolproof if you forget to switch the alternator back from one to the other charger and find out when you least can afford it...?
I was lost at the opening of the box.😅😅

Hi, was that you who were overnighting @ the Helix last night and gave me the sticker?
Hi ya yes it was!! It was lovely talking to you, we both came away saying what a lovely friendly person you are and very helpful 😃😃
Drill a small hole in special key thread some string through and tie to one of the cables or you will never find it as and when you need it 👍🏻😂
Good shout
Emma,Mrs kwik Fit there 😍
6 Passes of a Trimmer Would Sort that Pineapple Top out 😂
That Charging Jobby ,good Piece of Kit👋🏽👍
When u going bk to the Emerald Isle?
Good Vid 👍
Hoping to get back over May next year as we have a few things to sort out first!
For landrovers they sell a bracket so that you can run 2 alternators
Available for Sprinters as well…
Yeah we have seen that! But good for others to know too 😃
@UrbanVanlife I didn't know about the van version or even If there was enough room in the engine bay

Hi guys
Love the channel,
I'm new to van life and just bought a 16plate vw t6 and a little lost,
I've solar panel with a leisure battery which I assume gets topped up from the solar panel but I've never plugged into the mains
Had van 2 months but it's definitely not a day van as I only use on day trips

Thanks for your input...i was just scared that i was killing the battery @UrbanVanlife
Another great video where did you get the switch from?
The wonderful world of Amazon … where we get a lot of things as we are impatient and need them straight away 😂😂😂
Neil have you a part on fraggal rock hahahaha
Carnt you go all Electric. Neil and Emma
you using one of Will's empty batteries for this "how to"(since its Will's lock up)?
Think we charged up all of his power banks for him while we where there to be fair 😂😂 as well as making good use of some of his tools 🛠️
thats very kind opf you, cant let tools go unused, they need some love.
Reminds me of a Side Show Bob hair doo 😂
😂😂♥️
on your way back to da UK
No mate back in England as we said in the first 5 words of the video lol
@@UrbanVanlife lol
Bloody hell Neil and Emma, y not go Electric, be safe Neil Emma,
All sorted now thanks ♥️
Just to be safe
How many gadgets can you cram into that van Neil 😆
All of them 😂😂
I promise I didn’t zoom in 👀😂
But did you enjoy Ireland, Neil and Emma
What’s not to love … we will be back there soon!!!
My only problem would be remembering to change the switch
Yes or things could get very hot
Yeah we aren’t known for having the best memories here 😂😂
Is that Wills unit?
Yes it is we did say that 43 seconds in to the vide , he kindly let us do some much needed repairs in his unit!

Just a thought, do you need to tell your insurance about all the modifications you have done over time? 🤔🤔👍👍
Yes, any mods that get done should be reported to insurance as they will use anything to get out of a pay out if the worst ever was to happen!!
