Exploring The Mystical Beauty Of Moody Gardens
We traveled to Galveston, Texas to take in the beautiful Moody Gardens. Moody Gardens is a beautiful Aquarium, Atrium, and Discovery museum, all housed in glass pyramids. But it doesn't stop there, Moody Gardens also has a Hotel, a water park, and a steam Paddle wheel boat for dinners. We would definitely recommend one or two days here. There is soo much to take in that extra time is needed. Moody Gardens aquarium was a really cool setting, and they had the flow of exhibits set up perfectly, event with two school groups in the aquarium at the same time as us, we never had a blocked view. Unfortunately we had camera issues in the "Rain Forest" Atrium that we didn't noticed until we tried t...

Our take on the Victron Orion DC/DC charger, and how we installed it.
Просмотров 2,8 тыс.7 месяцев назад
EDIT: we misspoke in the video, we said 600MAH but meant 600AH worth of battery storage. Sorry for the confusion. Of all the products we changed or integrated in 2023 the Victron Orion DC/DC Charger is without a doubt the BEST. We were on the fence about installing the Orion DC/DC Charger because to be honest we just didnt quite understand it at the time. This thing is awesome!! Our original 7-...

    Just now seeing your video. Quick question - if using this for a tiny home , can one be placed under the kitchen sink cabinet as you did, and another be placed near the bathroom as the designated hot water for bathroom sink and shower, therefore eliminating the need for a “traditional “ hot water tank? Great video btw! 😊

    remember you have to have the incoming water from a tee from the COLD side, otherwise water will be scalding when regular heater water comes through. So you don't need to use the hot angle stop. (At least in warm climates)

    Nice review, appreciate it. I just had my camper tires replaced due to a belt breaking last week sitting at a campsite of all things. Really glad we caught it at the campsight but a TPMS system would really be ideal. Looks like a good setup with the Tireminder. I own an older rig so this would be a great setup for monitoring my truck and camper as well. The only drawback I can see is that the display looks like it would not be well placed on top of the dash due to how reflective it is. Easy enough to remedy. Happy Camping!

I was reluctant because of the price but now, I will never own another travel trailer or 5th wheel that doesn’t have sumosprings on them. These are amazing on my 5th wheel.

    If you have an outlet tester, you can plug it into your generator and watch it fail over the floating neutral. I don't get why they don't do this in a inverter generators out of China, especially the 120V variety. There is an excuse for larger 240V generators because some people hook these into their homes and already have a ground-neutral bond. However for the 120V only generators, it doesn't seem anybody hooks them into stationary house power, so it doesn't make any sense to not have ground-neutral bond there. You should always have one and only one ground-neutral bond in your system. It is not safe otherwise. Your surge protector will either not be able to work or in this case refuse to work because it can't do its job without this ground-neutral bond. So when it refuses to turn on, it is actually doing the only thing it can do at that point to keep you safe, which is refuse to accept that power. Here is another way to put it. I have not heard legitimate stories of any of these Chinese inverters or inverter generators burning out due to someone setting up a ground - neutral bond. At the same time the NEC codes are there for a reason and everything is designed around them. So either you add a single ground - neutral bond when you can verify that there is none, which is very easy to check for or you operate an unsafe system. You can just look and see the label and even if you don't, just put the outlet tester in there to get a quick answer. You should have a tester anyway for your home / apartment as often there is something wrong there, especially with older homes and slumlord management for apartments. If you find you need to add this single ground - neutral bond, but are afraid of damaging your inverter / inverter generator, remember that not complying to NEC codes, especially around a ground - neutral bond can lead to you being electrocuted and subsequent death. This can be just touching any electrical appliance with a metal surface such as your toaster oven as they all may end up energized at the same time with no path back to source until you complete that circuit with your body unwittingly. Everything that is supposed to be safe to touch instead being energized is a very bad place to be all because you didn't have this ground - neutral bond there. So I would say better to burn out that PoS inverter generator now than to burn out your body later. If the inverter generator does fry, which I am pretty sure it won't, it is a lot easier to replace than your body.

    This works for RV's with outside enclosures. Inside an enclosed space the legal limit people can transport is 90 lbs, the cylinders must be upright, held by a strap and turned off while driving. I'm surprised more RV camp sites aren't offering a 100 lb tank to use for free and renting a cargo dolly to move it for $20 a day.

    3000W is just under 28 amps; but the 110V 36” power cord on these units is 14 AWG. If that wire isn’t getting hot then they are lying about it being 3000W.

    • @119Agent
      @119Agent 4 месяца назад

      Probably peak output? The stated peak wattage is typically a lie on consumer products. Or at least far more than one would expect with continuous wattage.

    • @bigcbradio
      @bigcbradio 3 дня назад

      I have this exact same unit, they are not lying about the 3000w, it will draw up to 30 amps when you have the temp set hot and you have high water flow, and yes, the cord gets HOT, so hot that I decided to rewire/hard wire it myself with larger wire. Also, this guy posted above that all his breakers are 20A. My unit would pop the 20A breaker in about 45 seconds, he may be getting away with it because after a few seconds his original hot water has made its way to the instant heater and the instant heater no longer has to use power to heat the already hot water coming in. These units have a PWM transistor that controls the amount of power going into the heating element, so the heating element only uses the amount of power needed to heat the water based on its incoming water temp and the flow rate. If you watch the video at the 5 minute mark you can see he has his connected to the incoming hot water, so this instant heater only has to heat the water for a short while before he is actually using his regular hot water and the instant heater does not have to draw any power at all. That is great for instant hot water, but this video is not an accurate indication of what would happen if you depend on this water heater for the only source of water heating. If you want to use this exact unit as the only source of heating, and at a decent flow rate, you will need 110-120v at a minimum of 30amps, and watch that power cord getting hot or rewire it yourself with larger gauge wire. China does not care if you burn your house down.

      The best way will take a little bit of time at a truck stop. Weight your truck and trailer together. Then park your camper unhook and go back and weigh just the truck. Subtract your axle weight of camper truck combo from rear axle of truck. That will be your pin weight. Hope that helps.
