    We have 4 x 100ah Expion 360 batteries with 390 watts solar + a Samlex 2200 watt inverter/ charger and a Victron MPPT solar controller for our NorthernLite 8-11. The batteries and inverter were mounted in the D-shaped dinette by D&H RV of Apex, NC. We can run the 11,000 BTU AC unit for about 6 hours which comes in handy here in Florida. This set up has worked great for us for the past 3 years; the batteries cost $950/each at the time we bought them...

    Nice vid Mike, could I ask you for a direct "what would you do" answer to a question. So we're looking at the NS LoredoSS and Bundutec Roadrunner. We're going to buy something in spring of 2024 so we've got some time yet. Here is the dilemma, I'm 6'3" tall and 240lbs. As you can imagine, when looking for truck campers, this thins the field quick. We really prefer the Roadrunner in terms of styling and amenities, but, its a bit smaller than the LoredoSS. Since you've owned both, what do you think would make the most sense for us? Thanks in advance.

    • @mellomike1962
      @mellomike1962 Год назад

      I would go with the Roadrunner. Rory built one for a guy who was 6-4. That's the thing. Bundutec is willing to customize their campers, Northstar is not.

    • @realreviews2003
      @realreviews2003 Год назад

      @@mellomike1962 Hey Mike, thank you so much for the direct response. i just found out today Northstar will not be building the LoredoSS which was taller and we would have to go with the SC anyhow. And, they do not "customize" per say. So I think we'll lean toward the Bund RR. I really do like that Kingstar too, but I dont like the price. But, I want to buy ONE and be DONE. Thanks for sharing your WEALTH of knowledge on this stuff, it helps a lot of people. Happy travels sir.

    Mini (Winter) Solar Tip: A boiler and all other hungry electricity consumers can be infinitely dimmed with the "5000W dimmer". Ebay €7. I run 5 dimmers in parallel on an 850W inverter. Kettle 2.2KW at 150W runs 12 hours a day, so the water is always hot. The room is also nicely heated. 2.5KW washing machine runs in parallel with dimmed to 200...400W. Iron, dishwasher, oven, electric heater, coffee machine, all internal heating are throttled with me. Videos on my channel ruclips.net/video/eC2olbCBhh0/видео.html The inverter stays cool, quiet and the MOSFETs remain intact because no extreme current peaks arrive at the inverter. Now every Mini PV Inverter is enough to sell large devices. So, with the dimmer, all internal heaters/devices can be converted into base load devices that stay almost permanently ON, drawing very little current directly from the PV. With a wattmeter / energy cost measuring device you can then measure this perfectly in order to set the dimmer optimally. A little hint (for everyone else): Energy cannot be saved. So if I want to boil my water, I always have to use the same amount of energy for one liter. Christian's method relies on a longer period of time with less power in order to be able to use the power provided by the PV as efficiently as possible - so consumption peaks are intercepted. In the end, the energy consumption should even be (slightly) higher due to the interposition of the dimmer, but it doesn't matter, since more efficient coverage by the PV system and therefore better use of the self-generated energy...........
