    • @boristheboxvan8485

      You will only get what your inverter and receptacle outlets are capable/rated for providing and want to ensure they’re rated appropriately for safety reasons. 120v outlets are typically 15 amps, some 20 amps. A 125v outlets would be for larger kitchen appliances and rated for 20+ amps typically.

    Yes, you can put in toilet paper (and wipes), you just have to empty it more often. It's one of the few models that actually buries the toilet paper rather than a cyclical float of paper with the other models (and it doesn't get caught on the mechanism like it does on other popular models).

    Hey Chad awesome video, a perfect tutorial to install a cubic mini. One question: the company is now recommending a 7" inch hole for the 5" pipe so there is a 1" clearance around the pipe. In your video you only cut a 5" hole for the 5" pipe. This is what I would like to do as well. It is what I have planned for and it would take a lot to reconfigure. Have you had any problems with your install in the last 3 years? Is having a 5 inch hole a problem as far as you can see? Thanks man!

You don't deserve a wood stove , All those negatives are NOT negatives, it's called LIFE USING A WOOD STOVE IN A NOMAD VEHICLE. You don't strike me as the sharpest tool in the shed either .... Problem solving isn't your forte' i'm guessing. You should DELETE that video after how good Josh and the guys at Cubic Mini were to you. That's a pretty 'Karen' move to even make that video.

    Unless you have somewhere to switch off temperature adjustment. Surely you need to set the temperature adjustment to 0mV /°C per 2v. Ok yours will probably be Fahrenheit but it will still be zero. This is difference in temperature from 25°C. Remember this figure is multiplied by 6 for a 12v battery. This function also reduces the charging voltage settings above 25°C. Also you left the charge limit voltage set to 15. The above formula takes the voltage above this and it is provided to prevent damage to connected equipment. 15 v divided by 4 is 3.75v. This is above the maximum charging voltage of LPO4 cells so you are likely to damage your battery in cold conditions. Probably somewhere between 14.4 (3.6v/cell) and 14.3(3.5v/cell) would be more appropriate. Note it may be that not fitting a temp sensor will inactivate the temp correction but some switch to temp at controller. However I would prefer to see it set to zero. You might want to Email the manufacturer again just to make sure. I say email as that gives you evidence of what was said. Best wishes

    It looks like you are no longer producing videos. I watched your other Cubic video and thought you did a disservice to the product. But your criticism goes to any small wood stove. You would have been more fair to the company by giving the pros and cons of both types of heat. (Why would anyone travel with a wood stove burning? Why would anyone put hot ashes into a small thin plastic waste basket?. Try tin cans with foil on top. I recycle BBQ coals this way. There are lots of uses for ash. And I always carry an axe and small sharp folding landscape saw when I camp. A wedge would come in handy too. Anyway no need for power) Neverthless I was convinced by your video that the diesel heater was preferable for a van and I thank you for that. However there were some pretty bad reviews on the particular heater you mentioned. I did find some others though. A viewer needs to be aware that in some places diesel isnt always available. One camper had to travel 150 miles to find some. It seems kerosene can be used in some of these heaters I'll have to research that. Thanks for this video too bc I want a Cubic/Grizzly for my cabin but not my truck camper. The free wood and my free labor will eventually make the hefty price worth it.
