      It wasn't so long ago Mel owned up to the 2 second hand lead acid batteries powering his system. A lot of time gets put into videos/TH-cam can't blame anyone for getting payment/items in lieu of their time spent.
      Maybe an idea for a future video could be a basic/cheap electric setup that has worked for you Mel for those starting out and how and why you chose different upgrades? Either way keep up the good content.

  • @robertmurrell4352
    @robertmurrell4352 ปีที่แล้ว

    G'Day Mel, Dont like the cig plugs they are dangerous. The game changer is the new 30amp DC plugs on the Bluetti Max they are starting to call them the RV plug in Australia and USA, just wire in straight to fuse box and it does everything in the van with 12volt including diesel heater and 12volt aircon, and i use the 240 volt plugs for the hotwater and induction cook hob only. Its made all the expensive components like shunts, busbar, mppt and those blue boxes and wiring plus you can takeout easy and put in your house dueing blackouts.... Might bump into you on the Western Australian GOLD fields with your lucky hover stick, Goodluck Mel

    Good review. I'm sorry some don't seem to appreciate it but looks like there are a few of us in the corner that do. This was, IMO, a refreshingly honest and fair review. Being given these things is a reflection of the time and effort that goes into building a channel and a following and I don't begrudge that at all. Keep on keeping on!

      @@BigVanSmallWorld Well, I don't think it's a bad idea at all Mel. The thing is, some people can't explain things in a clear and precise way, and I have difficulty following it all, so I think it's nice to have different reviews also, because some people will add a tiny bit of info which others may miss. When I am looking to buy something this expensive then I will watch ALL the reviews to get a good cross-section of their opinions. Just ignore the people who don't like it - I daresay they are just jealous 🙄

    Hi Mel, Just a thought what if you had a 240v transformer plugged into the Jackery down to 12v to run the diesel heater and the 12v van I know it sounds counter intuitive . I know it's only the initial start up of the diesel that draws the power as we have an Adria SGX Camper van and the lights do flicker on the start up of the diesel heater. Saw one on Amazon £18 12v 10Amps is that enough?? Great content
