- Introducing my new SylvanSport Go and EcoFlow Wave 2 heat pump. I bought the Go to be able to go camping and tow it with my 2022 Tesla Model Y.
I will add other videos with a more detailed explanation of how the Go affects range on the Model Y but for now I can say it looks like a 10-20% hit on range when towing 60 to 75 mph.

I transport these Go's on a regular basis from the factory. Awesome camper!
i've been researching. another add on solution is to put something like aluminate shade cloth over the trailer to further reduce the heat factor therefore allowing the Ecoflow to cool better. I checked into the Ecofolow Wave 2 like the fact that it duality purpose is so much better the Cool Breeze. I'm gonna get my trailer, now i just have to think long and hard about cutting into the panel or vent out the door somehow.
You can vent out the lower flaps under the beds. Just put in the hoses and zip up tight on the hoses. I just wanted a better solution. Interesting idea about the shade. I did think about using two awnings and making a Velcro that would attach to the upper bars (before you raise it) and come out the side and just stake down the two ends this way it would shade each side of the camper from the top
@@Webcrawler45 so both hoses can be vented out from the bottom screen. I've jury rigged my a/c round my back door tent before without cutting a hole i can jury rigged this one too. AWESOME!!! come Summer I can at lease have some cooling and this time i learn to use some fans to help blow the cool air around. I would just let the 5K btu do all the work but not do anything to circulate the cold air so of course it was still hot if you were like 2 feet away from the vent... duh me! LOL... I've seen comparison with Ecolflow and Coolbreeze and so far Ecoflow has one extra con going for it is that it can go either cold or hot -- definitely one less equipment to buy!
Jeff, I am thinking about getting this for my Tesla X. Excited to see this
About to go on my first long trip. (325 mile One way) Will have plenty of data to share soon…
@@Webcrawler45please do share. I live in Texas and while I’m not crazy about putting holes any amount of cooling in the summer would be awesome!!
Please let us know how it’s going. Don’t stop. I’m desperate to hear future results.
Ill be adding stuff but might not be camping for a while….
Well done! Thanks for sharing! Stay cool! 😎🚙🏜
Hi, this video is fantastic! Thanks. Just one question, you said you made a coupler to attach the vent hose to the black vent covers.. how did you do that? The covers are the same size as the vent hoses so can’t figure out how you got those to attach and seal?
The short answer is I made an aluminum ring that fit tight over the flange on the vents. I just used metallic duct tape to attach them to the hoses…
So these new model GO campers don’t have the star glazing windows anymore 😢
Sadly no…
The star gazer windows had issues cracking and leaking because of the plastic hardening over time and the glue coming loose.
@@southerntesla The door also has the clear plastic. Does the door develop issues over time and crack too? I have only been hearing about the window glue issue.
I tried something similar and now that I have received my ecoflow2 I’m copying your setup. What did you end up using for the permanent coupling of the air vents to the ecoflow hoses?
I made a 5” and 6” ring about 1” thick out of aluminum sheet and used aluminum tape to secure it to the hose. I install them and push the unit back a little and the spring pressure from the hoses keeps them in place…
You can just use several layers of the aluminum duct tape. With enough wraps it is stiff enough to stay in place…
Start with one layer on the inside and then wrap the extra layers on the outside…
Why does the ecoflow need 2 vents. Usually ac units such as portable floor standing home units have just one for exhaust.
It makes them more efficient. It also keeps from forming negative pressure in the tent…. That pulls in more bugs and humidity…
The single exhaust type actually pulls air that has been cooled out of the room and out with the hot exhaust. WebC is correct. It creates negative pressure and draws air in. My landlord buys them for the few people who smoke in our building. It stops the smoke smell from seeping into the hallway by creating a negative pressure. He tells them to run it 24/7 even if only on fan mode.
Did you ever post the energy consumption numbers on your Model Y Towing the unit and not Towing the unit? I have a Model Y and will be purchasing one in a few weeks.
Unfortunately I had to cancel my trip. I can tell you that it reduced range about 10% at 60mph and 20% at 70 mph. THis is fully loaded with about 200lbs of gear in the trailer…
@@Webcrawler45 Can you recommend a ball hitch that has the correct measurements for the Tesla Modle Y. SylvanSport on their website says “The height of the ball should be 17″ from the ground to the middle of the ball. “. Also have a Model Y. Thanks
@@Webcrawler45 Can you please share which tow ball hitch you have? Does it measure 17” from ground to middle of the ball which SylvanSport recommends for the GO. I have the same Model Y vehicle and trying to figure out the correct hitch ball mount to get. Thanks
too early
Why not install it lower/under the table, the way you have it, can you still use the large bed?
I thought about it. Everything is a compromise. It was difficult to get the vents located that low and still have the hoses easily manageable. We also like to put some pull out draws under the table and there is room for an ecoflow power station under there as well. Also we both prefer two twin beds over one big one as it gives more room to move around in the GO. We do not even carry the extra table with us any more. It makes it easier to pack the mattresses in the tent shell.
I also use the large bed. I was thinking about supporting a shelf higher up above our heads and the bed using the front bars just like the factory panel table does and using the ceiling structure for outward support and putting the vent holes higher up.
