    Thanks Guys!! I'm just about to embark on a 2 year adventure, havent got the van yet (prooving to be harder than buying the car) but your 38 min show has enlightened me & given me more advice than any caravan site or "power experts" have in 6 months of research!! You are gems! I have subscribed & can't wait to see more of your content. Thank You so much!! M ;)

    For the hair. Use the wagon exhaust. Blow dry, run the hair across, straighten and the if you want to change color, rev it up and there you go, blonde to brown to black, all comes down to timing.

    Hot tip for you Justin. Wattage divided by voltage equals amperage. 4500 watt / 12 v = 375 amps before it tripped out. Impressive!!!

    This was so good. Thank you. It’s not the wife who needs appliances, I never dry my hair, no toasters or sandwich makers.. It’s the hubby with laptop running all sat, large monitor, (for both our old eyes) electric guitars, mics and power amp for recording songs . No idea what his amp pull will be but that is my dilemma. I’m the one researching ahead of getting him into a van so I can travel.

    Not sure if you have been there but Big Billy Bore campground in the Big Desert State Forest is a pearler of a campground if you are up that way in Victoria.
    Great facilities and plenty of room.

  • @stevesims8232
    @stevesims8232 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    When you were reading the small enerdrive gauge you were reading the minus watts, I believe this is what's being pulled from the battery. The solar input then needs to be added to see the exact power draw from the appliance. For instance the 700w toaster was pulling approx 550w plus adding the solar input of 150w =700w just as an example. Just to clarify the readings.
    You did explain this for the aircon but not the others. (I did start writing this half way through then saw the air con bit. Had to edit lol)
    Love your vids and the awesome setup you have. Keep up the great work and thanks.

    Superb TIAV episode (again!). I took heaps of good notes. It would seem to me that a lot of caravanists could get away with around 200Amp battery and a 2000watt inverter. - That means you could pretty much run everything except the air con (and maybe not a kettle) - or perhaps I have misunderstood this TIAV video tutorial?

    • @TripInAVan
      @TripInAVan  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Pretty much mate yeah. i think throw the 2600 watt inverter in and you'd run the lot except a/c. You might just have to use one appliance at a time.

    Thx for the info. If you want to clean your coffee machine like you said it needed in a video. You just simply put enough water in it for two cycles with a teaspoon or so of cheap vinegar and put an empty pod into the machine. .Then use up the vinegar/water by cycling a couple of cups to empty the water tank on the machine . Then a couple of cycles of clean water with the empty pod in it. Just don't use Becs fav coffee cup to do it in otherwise she will not be happy. Use another mug which can be washed clean later.

    how much for your solor,batterys,converter ect please.

    Awesome vid, though all your readings of the ePro+ where minus the solar, that’s why they were reading lower than the labels

    Excellent setup and great explanation on current draw of your appliances. I'm setting up an old 80 series to take the Mrs up to the Cape next year. I have a 200ah Lithium ion battery to run the accessories and would love to win the fridge that you're giving away, that would be the cream on top of our set-up.
    We're looking forward to this year's adventures and watching your beautiful children grow up.
    Love ya'$

      white vinegar and water 50/50 mix.......cheaper than descaler and works the same....

    Awesome video guys! I watched your first guide when you got this van but it went a little over my head. A revision was perfectly timed as we are now in the process of designing our build - so thank you :) . Question: If you love the induction cooker & webber so much, would you do away with the gas cooker next time? Also, why don't you use the microwave to heat water instead of the jug? Is a microwave useful?
    Cheers guys - love your lifestyle and beautiful family.

    Instead of another panel on top, why not have a portable panel or a solar blanket without a regulator that you can throw out on the ground beside the van in the sun is needed. That will add the extra amps without having to buy another van hehe
