Hi folks! I know a lot of my viewers won't be interested in the details of my trailer upgrades, but "A LOT" of you said you were. So for those that are interested...here you go! I made separate videos with the details of the upgrades as to not interfere with your regular Sunday programing. Enjoy! :)
Cat...
You are my regular Sunday programming. Well, I like the Flintstones and the Jetsons quite a bit as well. 🤣 But you first!!!
I'm hoping that you're out on a multi day hike right now. Have fun sweetheart. See ya, bye.
Love you. ❤ Randy. 🎼✌
Cat, get a piece of scratch paper and calculate just how much power draw you'll ever imagine using yourself. That should help determine how much Amp Hours you'll need for your battery bank. Try to avoid overkill on the number of batteries you end up getting. If you plan it right, you can design the setup expandable thus saving money, weight and space.
Thank you for these the way you are doing them. Bob Wells just did a comparison of some lithium batteries and it is great to see the quality come up and price come down. That video also had some serious considerations about lithium and freezing temps. You might want to learn this for when you get out in temps near the freezing point. Just a thought. So much to learn, but you can do it. Especially with Dan's help. Most of us do not need to know the details much more than what an installer should be doing correct and one we can trust. You found a gem. And we need to know how to use without damaging the set up and what the limits are. Even as you spend a lot and expand to the most your trailer can hold it will never be unlimited like a home. solar still requires trade offs and monitoring. You might get AC but it will drain the batteries fast and cause more charging cycles to wear out your batteries. Nice to have when it is life or death but go easy on it daily. Realistic expectations are what matters really.
Love your videos.. do you do rock hounding? Have you ever found any cool rocks on your travels?
@@markpashia7067 The only time cold Temps are an issue with lithium batteries, is if you are in Temps below 10F. The battery will discharge down to 0F, and charge down to an internal battery temp of 32F. I have my batteries in an outside compartment and have been down to 8 degrees and the internal battery temp is still above 32 degrees. Plus the battery will stop the charging if it ever did get to 33 degrees. Cat will most likely never be in an are that cold to be an issue.
Dan has a pleasant and professional RUclips presence.
Thank you Dan! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 How kind and very generous of you to help Cat get her power needs sorted out and functioning so she can continue to produce and share her wonderful videos. You sir are a true friend indeed!
It was my pleasure!
Perfect inverter summary! Dan is a true friend for sure. Look forward to the solar content (and lithium) when those occur.
Thanks 🙏 Cat (and Dan) for sharing.
Blessings to Dan for helping Catherine
Thanks Dan! Cat, I’m happy for you that you have Dan as a friend. Once you have the lithium batteries you’ll be in great shape for your way of life on the road.
Thanks and Kudos to Dan for all his professional help and clearly explaining everything so far!! 👍 Can't wait to see more of the installation!! Cat Thanks 😊
Dan the Man!
I appreciate this overview. Just enough to comprehend the scale without getting lost in the detail weeds.
Nice work! I hope rv manufacturers are taking note to consider offering upgraded power options from the get go. Undoubtedly it would be much easier to install this stuff as original equipment. Dan - you da man!
RV manufacturers are now offering upgraded solar, inverter, and lithium options. Their pricing for these upgrades is crazy high. We were able to accomplish the same upgrades for less than a 1/4 of their prices.
Thanks for that info. It looks like great small business opportunities for someone with the right skill set and interests.
@@Kevin-hy8ok It could be, unless they are already retired. Lol
Dan and Cat, that was the best electric overview I have ever heard! Dan, your explanations were just enough info for us “mere mortals” to understand without getting us confused. Thank you. I have a deep appreciation for those of you who understand this subject. I am slowly learning the lingo and getting a grasp of what it all entails. Thank you. I am looking forward to the rest of the solar install.
100% agree! Thank you🌸
I really enjoyed watching the inverter installation video. The video reaffirmed what I had already learned from numerous how to videos, but Dan was so much more in depth as to why everything was working the proper way. After watching his installation, I completed my own conversion and everything works properly. And yes, it is a tight space to work in. Just need to find out what he did to put the microwave on the loop.
Thank you
Dave D
Dan is the kindest man!! Thank you for helping Catherine 👍👍.
Thank you for sharing all of the upgrades. Must be wonderful for the comforts in your new home❤️🥳 Happy Travels🎉
It was my pleasure!
@@ontheroadwithdan5571 Dan, is the double cable of smaller gauge wire crimped together, take the place of a larger single cable? I’ve had a hard time finding heavy gauge wire affordable. I’m doing a 3 000 watt inverter, so want the heaviest I can get, seems heavy duty 1 gauge jumper cables maybe tge way to go? 30’ for $66.00. I only need 8-10 feet but have 2 friends that may use the rest. Thanks Dan
Dan is a natural teacher.
How fortunate to have someone so knowledgeable and willing to do it for you. Very nice.
Wow, he knows his stuff. Very interesting and a great upgrade.
Dan IS the Man!! So glad you got this up and running Catherine! I think Dan was an engineer before he retired, I can tell LOL!
I have been an electrician, pilot, National Park Ranger, Professional nature photographer, and much more.
@@ontheroadwithdan5571 wow! Dan! Epic!!
9:20 Glad Dan could do this work for Catherine, because Bubba or Gomer might not fit thru that access door. It's good to know a Marine.
Dan is a great friend and helper...the are few out there to helo a fine lady like Cat...Great job.
.
What a kind man!! Thank you Dan for taking care of Catherine!!
Thank you, I'm so glad you did this video--I didn't understand inverters at all and will soon be in a camper, and this really helps. Transfer switch, solar charge controller, fuse (200 watt), I got a little lost on these things. What a great guy to do this plus explain to us newbies! Appreciate it!
Nice job 👍 What an awesome friend you have to install that for you. Looks like your new home is coming together. Love it 😊
Hi Catherine ( what's going on Pretty Lady )you are amazing and this video should be kept for any one getting started and this Man should be having his own RUclips channel I'd subscribe for sure
So worthy of the "Dan the Man" trophy for helping and educating us! Great Job Dan and Kat !!!!!!
wow a mid week video!
You have no idea how helpful and informative this was. I will definitely watch the follow on. I recently bought a Keystone Crossfire Bullet and was told the same BS about all the prep that there. I opened the cover and started laughing. Then I started swearing. Obviously, the dealers are less than informative if you want to do your own work. This has been GREAT. I can move forward from here.
We called the dealer the trailer was purchased from, and could not answer our basic questions. The techs said they were trying to learn about installing an inverter from watching RUclips! Thats scary!
@@ontheroadwithdan5571 I have a strong basis in electrical wiring and a good working knowledge of solar. Understanding what was on either side of that loop wire is extremely helpful. How you traced it out (particularly the microwave connection) will be even more helpful. I've found that the various Solar Flex packages provide a great blueprint for future planning the end build. Thanks for sharing your work.
I enjoyed Dan's thorough overview very much. Last August I bought a brand new Sunray 115 (a small teardrop-like trailer) to pull behind my Subaru Outback. A gentleman I know set up more solar panels and installed the controller; so grateful to him.
Anyway, I have always been in awe of the knowledge so very many men have. My father and my life long love, both of whom have passed away, were brilliant men. I have such respect for men with profound know-how like Dan.
Thank you Kathy. I'm glad I could help Cat.
Im guessing Dan was an electrician in his life? He's definitely a great teacher. A rare breed in today's world.
Have same inverter works great 👍
I just hard wired an outlet on the outside of my camper and plug into my 50amp outon the camper. Now runs everything even one of my 15k ac units with a soft start .
So helpful ! Just enough of an overview. Was I the only one shocked when he said the manufacturer used wiring 1/4 the size needed on the batteries. ?
Great Job !! Thank goodness for great people like Dan in this lifetime. Very good information and looking forward to seeing how extra solar panels and new batteries are installed as well. You two have a great time in that beautiful area.
Oh Catherine... Dan is worth his weight in gold. We're so happy that you can start living normal again. Stay well.
Dan's the MAN! Friends like that are hard to come by. You should make him a very special meal. You now have all the conveniences of home. God's speed my friend. Travel safely.
She cooked me several meals! 😋
Angel face thank Dan again for us, I can see he did a great job.PS I loved seeing you mid week.
Even though I don't own an RV, I found this video instructive and fun to watch.
Dan. You are the kind of man that we ADORE. You speak SO WELL. And I can actually understand you. Ty. Ty for taking care of Cat.
Thank you. I love to teach and share.
That Dan, what a genuinely nice guy, excellent electrician and he's got really good presenter skills.
Wow, Dan is so smooth! Very well spoken and comfortable on camera… you really lucked out with him!
Dear Cat and Dan😀👍🍀😘 wow, what a great work from one specialist. Nicole and me understand with our broken english a lot of!!!😗🍀very well explained. 👍 Enjoy the updated home, and a bye, bye to Dan 😀warm regards from Nicole and Hardy 🥳😘👍 the grazy Berliner

Dan, you sure do nice work! I am sure Catherine is very appreciative of your generosity! You are a great human being Dan!
Thank you, Dan. Your patience and kindness radiate in the quality and elegance of your explanations and installation.
Thank you Dan, you are a very kind and generous man❤️
you are so fortunate ton have people like Dan to help you figure these things out.
What a wonderful and helpful friend in Dan! God bless him for blessing you!
How kind of you, Dan! What a great help to Cat! 💜🦋👍
San Clemente neighbors, as helpful as they may have been, won’t be able to compete with Dan’s awesomeness. Your Work From Home office is energized for the next chapter in Cat Adventures.
Dan is the man! Great skill and knowledge!Your new home is so nice!!
Thanks for explaining all of this Dan. It has provided me with much more knowledge.
Catherine,thanks to Dan for all his hard work and getting your converter set up love the video can’t wait for the next take care God bless
Solar build time! Sweet!
Great video!
Dan could have a channel of his own! He's not only knowledgeable, but able to clearly explain. He's a good teacher!
Good job Dan! Looks like a very professional and clean install.
Nice job Dan! So neatly laid out and very well assembled. Catherine will enjoy your expertise for many, many years.
I really enjoyed the video . You were so lucky to have a great friends that has the knowledge to install your system . Thank you Dan .
Dan, ..... You went above, and, beyond, ..... Kudos Sir, ... Best Wish's.......
Catherine, you look relaxed and happy, that is nice to see!! Enjoy!
A big shout out to Dan for helping her out ! Great job kudos to you well done ! Great camper ! It’s just the perfect size!
Congratulations on getting your inverter all set up!!
What A SWEETHEART of a man! And Wowza to the Hardware Store!💌❣️💌
Awesome job. Thanks for looking out for your fellow camper.
Pro info all around - video and explanation! How nice to have a friend like Dan. Super lucky. You are ready for anything.
Dan is The Man. Really appreciated the well articulated walk through of all of his work. Way cool!
Thank you!
Thank you for the information. Blessings
Oh my goodness! I kinda got lost in the details pretty early, but dang! That man knows what he’s doing! I’m sure your extremely thankful! He seems like a solid good guy, hope to see him more!
Dan gave a very professional presentation.
Excellent video! Dan dis such a good job of installing and explaining the addition of the inverter!
Many of the new LiFePO4 batteries now have Bluetooth added to the battery management system (BMS). This allows monitoring the status of the battery, individual cells and battery temperature. A well designed LiFePO4 battery will have low temp cutoff to protect the battery when charging. Some manufacturers add heating elements to protect the batteries. You know the temperature extremes you experience so choose your batteries accordingly.
Great installation Dan!
Thanks! I am very familiar and up to date with lithium batteries. I have been running them for several years in my rig, and I am also full-time.
Great video, and Dan is such a wonderful friend
That was so nice of him to help you and he explains it very well to the people that might not understand. Great video and looking forward to the rest of the installation. Thank you
Cat, thank you MUCHLY for Dan explaining! Dan, I am clueless! Your explaining is great!👍👍
Thank Dan and Catherine for for doing a great job on this inverter battery install. Very nicely done. Can’t wait to see the solar install. And see how it all works. Thank you Catherine for this video. Dave dud a great job on showing how to this hook up. I’m glad you knew someone that could help you! Hope you have a great evening and week and see you soon!
Nice video. Good balance of explaining the technical but not to the extreme. Dan is a natural on video. Very impressive.
Thank you Dan.
Thx Dan!
And great video…..thx for the “one off” video for us outdoor folks who are also DIYers and like learning about this type of stuff
Thank you Dan! This was very helpful. Looking forward to the next phase.
Thank you for posting this!! Such great information!
Great job Dan!!
How great are people?? I have noticed the same thing in my year and a half of full time RVing. The news says we are divided, but I don't see it with all the folks I have met. I am so glad you ran into Dan and the great folks at that hardware store. This was a great overview and I understood the information. Keep up the great work, looking forward to the next one.
You are correct, For the most part, RVers are awesome!
That's great. Dan, you're a great American. I'm looking forward to the next video. 👍
The hardware store really came through for you, so did Dan. There’s really some good people left in the world. You’re so sweet, everyone would fall in line to help. I’m taking a vintage class restoration class from Mobiltec (Larry) and he shared one of your videos with us since you were such a dear soul, take care.
This was interesting to me just from a curiosity standpoint.
Dan is a gem. 🌈
Great video. Thank you both. Dan is an excellent presenter! Not just an expert, but one who is able to discuss all the complex electrical processes in a way that even a novice like myself could understand. I’m heading over to the “solar” video after this one!
Thank you for sharing this important and excellent information!
That was one of the most informative travel trailer upgrade videos I have ever seen. Although our Springdale trailer already has an inverter, at least I now know the components that went into it. And the solar interface will be really handy to know about when we go to install solar panels in the future. Thanks much!
Outstanding stuff Cat!!! Can't wait to hear the positive reviews!!
Thank you Catherine and Dan! Great presentation of an inverter, device requirements, installation process. Etc Very helpful…we are in the process of doing the same but upgrading to lithium batteries so we can boondock for longer periods.
Well done. This was really interesting! Thanks for making this video.
Thank you for doing this video. Learned a lot about RV wiring. looking forward to more trailer upgrade videos.
Glad ur setup - enjoy it, good luck Rembrandt.
Dan did a wonderful job. I've installed inverters into commercial service vehicles before.
Dan did a very nice install job. It looks great and should be a nice improvement.
Great video Cat! And it’s wonderful to have great Friends!
Your going to love it!
What a team!! Thank you for all the insight!!
thank god for Dan!!!! Awesome video!
Great Job Dan!,Hope You at Least Got a Home Cooked Meal for all Your Hard Work!,It's so Gentlemanly of You to Help Such a Beautiful and Terrific Lady Such as Miss Catherine!!!
Very nice job, sir. I'm getting ready to do this on my 5th wheel.
Supper informative. Love it Dan,
Great 👍 video, great upgrade for you. He seems to know his stuff and covered alot. Always like your videos, and very glad 😊 you did this one.... take care
This was a terrific Video!! Thanks Dan & Cat. Well done explaining this ... Very good chemistry in the video :)
Dan is a great friend!! Glad you got that taken care of!
