    For me, the most important thing that it can run is a car refrigerator. Even in AZ summer. Yes, that small one can do it especially if you add some solar. So you have to buy the power station ($200), solar ($150) and the fridge ($150-$250). Now you have a great system to run 'everything' that pulls low watts (laptop, LED lights, phone charge, ect.) and your fridge can run 24/7 keeping food (even milk or cheese) without needing ICE. That, to me, is the greatest advantage of these setups. I wonder if it will be able to push an electric blanket come Fall/Winter? The experiment continues ................................

    Ac200 max 30amp plug sucks about 55 watts per hour for the converter. I bought it for that purpose, but immediately realized if I wasn't in the middle of the desert, it was unsustainable. I now have it hooked to the outside solar port of the trailer. I am able to connect through the trailer battery, to the 12v system of the trailer. That, with a 2500w duel fuel Champion, has seen us through one of the rainiest spring/summers in Alaska.

    I still appreciate that you are looking out for the people that just want simplicity and ease of setup bob, but i wish you would review some of these cheap lithium 12v chinese batteries like the chins, or ampere time! Are they really worth the price? Possibly way cheaper than one of these units, if you're in a simple van with absolutely no 110 v appliances which these days is totally possible! 12v blender, those little 12v cig lighter food warmers (ill admit i need to buy one to see how effective they are) and a 12v fridge. Totally possible to avoid having anything 110v powered in your van these days!

    • @dhsarredondo
      @dhsarredondo Год назад +7

      Hey Michelle, If it’s a 12v fridge any of them will technically run it. The big question is for how long. 12v appliances are made to run on a 12v car plug which is usually around 150w maximum. Refrigerators are interesting because they continuously run on and off so you don’t really end up using too much power. I would base my purchase on the size of your refrigerator. I would also base it on wether or not you will be charging the battery during the day. If all you are running is a 12v refrigerator and you are charging your battery during the day you should be fine with one of the small batteries. If you are going to be charging the battery at home and then going off-grid you would want something larger so you can run the 12v fridge for a couple of days. Hope that was helpful and did not make it more difficult for you.

    I have the 3BA and a 120 W panel. So far, it doesn't seem to charge with the panel very quickly, even in FL sun unless it's FULL sun, but does recharge quickly from AC. . My next major power addition is going to be a small dual fuel generator for back up. Hopefully, the Champion 2500 will be on sale. Eventually, I'd like to have a full system with an inverter and battery bank. Lots to learn between now and then, lots of money to save, too.

    • @ExposingTruth2screwoligarchy
      @ExposingTruth2screwoligarchy Год назад

      A 120W panel would probably take several hours to charge IF you were getting the full 120 watts in, since it needs 600 watts to be full.
      I have 2 different brands of 200W folding panels, and either one will charge up the EB3A in about 3 hours in full sun in Florida from close to 0%. I have an AllPowers polycrystalline 200W that was only about $220 (on sale) and I have a pricier Bluetti 200W, and they both perform and charge wonderfully, so I would not hesitate to save money and get the lower priced one for your EB3A for faster charging. AllPowers also has a monocrystalline panel for usually $400 - I just kept checking to see any flash sales, on Amazon, on the company site, and sometimes EBay for various companies, and got the polycrystalline 200W folding panel for about $220.

    Bob, thanks for sharing all your unbiased research on this and ALL the products in your Amazon store. It makes RV living so much easier. Not to mention just shining a light on many RV/van lifers makes the lifestyle seem less lonely. :) thanks.
    I need some help knowing whether what I have and what I'm considering buying will work in regard to solar.
    I have 2 150W solar panels, 3 Universal Power Group 12V 100Ah AGM SLA DEEP Cycle VRLA batteries, Energizer 2000 Watt 12V Power Inverter. I have the Bodega 12 Volt Refrigerator.
    I want to purchase the CHANGE MOORE Dual Zone Car Refrigerator Detachable Battery for the Bodega cooler, Senville LETO Series Mini Split Air Conditioner Heat Pump 12000 BTU 110/120V, and 2 LiTime 12V 300Ah Lithium LiFePO4 Batteries.
    The only other constant draw I have is my Nature's head compost toilet fan (barely any draw). I occasionally charge little things like my rechargeable batteries (4 AA or AAA at a time), handheld vacuum, handheld shampooer for furniture, Blendjet 2 blender, laptop, and laser cat toy.
    Will these purchases make it possible for me to run the 12000BTU Senville mini split AC (with thermostat so not constant) and Bodega fridge (constantly). As well as charge the other things listed occasionally? Or do you recommend purchasing something else?
    Also, I do interior painting and want to leave my cat home alone while I work. Will you please recommend a temperature monitor to alert me if it gets too hot in the bus?
    Also, I'd like to purchase a large triangle or rectangle awning like this to put over the bus: www.amazon.com/dp/B075ZMXJQL/?coliid=IA10LV8443CH3&colid=3LX01SPRHQWDR&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_gv_ov_lig_pi_dp
    But the posts for it are too heavy duty for me to easily move if/when I move. Have you or your team of nomads come across any posts/poles that could withstand an awning like this AND are more practical for nomads when they move in a bus/van/ambulance?
    I'm not sure who/where else to pose these questions. If this is not the right place to pose a question like this, might you direct me to a more suitable place/person?
    Thanks for taking the time to read this, any answers you or readers may have for me, and for all your videos and product recommendations. :)

  • @TheRock-xj7hs
    @TheRock-xj7hs Год назад +4

    Bob, I have the AC 200 P. And I was very excited when I first got it living in the desert with my three 200 W panels. I could also charge it with two 200 W panels as you said you need a minimum of 400 W to charge it. My question is should I buy the AC 200 max to add to the AC 200 P? My 200 W panels have gotten pretty beat up being out in the desert for over a year. They still draw power, but not like they used to when I first got them. What would you suggest to keep my AC 200 P efficient.? Also, I see their 420 watt solar panel that I like but that’s a little expensive as well. I’m kind of stuck on a decision. Either a AC 200 max or a 420 solar panel. No pressure, if you have the time to give me your opinion, it would be appreciated. If not, I’m sure I’ll figure it out. Or if anyone else out, there has an opinion please feel free to share that with me.

    When charging a power station using a regular house outlet, should you use a surge protector power strip or just plug the power station directly into the outlet? I'm not sure if these stations have surge protection inside the same way some have their own charge controller, etc. I would never plug a TV, laptop or other expensive device directly into an outlet. I assume the same fr a Bluetti, etc?

The mod level ones are bulky heavier and i take alot longer to charge even with eletric from a house. Also you need llendless solar panals to charge the big ones..in fact you can never keep any of these charged because evena fan burns so much eletric forget wbout tv etc...i tried my tiny fridge i jad to rotate .3 batteri3s a day. Forget wbout putting my friege in freezer mode. Ive been on my car 10 yrs but now in a rv boondocking i had to buy a generator. My next purchase is high end 300 batteries for rv 2 or 4 of them. Because these batteries have very little power. Also if something breaks your out alot money hence why i never bought expensive on3s just 200 to 330 i buy on ebay bluetti refurbished

I am planning to buy solar over the sale but can’t make up my mind what brand and if I should get a flexible solar panel and tape or glue on my roof or get a suit case or 100 solar on the roof and 100 portable. Big decision as room in the van with a large dog is minimal but I go to the NW in the summer and there is a considerable amount of shade. So a split system may be the best solution. What are you thinking? By the way my trip to the NW took me a week and my ecoflow kept charged when driving and ran my Setpower fridge/freezer running 14hrs a day on FREEZER mode and eco not plugged into anything. Good luck.

      It depends on the energy requirements of your specific CPAP unit as well as if you are using heat & humidity features. Also depends on capability of getting it fully recharged with driving, plugging into AC wall or will there be enough solar availability depending weather conditions, season of the year, and location like forest or open meadow/prairie.
