Love your videos, and just a heads up. I'm not for sure if your truck has it or not, but you should have a battery shutoff. Located under the small box attached to your main battery box.
👍✌️Nobody reaches your levels of fantasy and imagination. You just lacked a mobile solar power system so as not to limit your inventiveness. For now I would just add a large beach umbrella mounted on the truck bed and enjoy the coolness of your mountain while sipping one of Courtney's refreshing non-alcoholic cocktails. 200k kisses to both of you.😘🎂🍀💚🤗
We recognized several places in this video. Car wash, package pickup, parking lot install plus grocery. Familiar places. Makes me more curious where you are located. That is quite a power system.
I'm going to Eco Flow's site now. This package plus the portable 4000 btu A/C are just what I need for my 36' 5th wheel. Thanks so much for the content you provide. It's real stuff, doable (is that a word) by regular people. As I said in an earlier post, I'm 70 and moved onto 20 acres of beautiful unimproved forest in So. Oregon in 1977. None of this stuff was available, we had to make everything from scratch by hippie power alone. You can do a lot with lead acid batteries, a Cadillac ambulance alternator, and a windmill. It gave our 1977 cabin music and light. A flat out miracle in 1977. I envy you two. You just set up a system in a parking lot, in an hour, that surpassed our ancient system that took 2 weeks to figure out and install. Keep having fun! Oh, Riley, I'm a retired computer systems engineer that did medical device design for 20 years. I wrote those instructions you ignore. Do an old man a favor, at least glance at them please😎
We have a lot of respect for you and others who did this journey before us. The advancements in power systems have made off-grid power SO much simpler and cheaper to do now!
I used to have a 1985 Freightliner Cab-over-Engine (COE) power unit. One of the nice features that really helped was a sound blanket attached to the bottom of the cab (the cab tilted over just like yours with the exception of it being a hand pump only). If your unit doesn't have a sound blanket I would recommend making one or checking with Freightliner or a manufacturer for obtaining one. They greatly reduce the engine noise level in the cab.
I just got done watching..We had to stop filming.. and I just wanted to give a little tip on your firewood. To prevent soot from building up and to reduce the chance of a chimney fire I would always burn 50% pine and 50% any type of hardwood. Keep up the great work!!
Congrats on hitting two hundred thousand. I honestly don't pay attention to the amount of subs the other channels I subscribe to have either. I watch your channel because of the great content, and the two beautiful people on it, so please continue your wonderful projects.
Riley... The bracket that was behind the seat was for a FM Tactical Radio mount. Not sure exactly which model since I retired in 1991, but it looks a lot like the mount for the ANVRC-46 radio. But I could be an even newer radio, not something I have kept up with.
Congratulations on 200K Love watching your videos and seeing all the amazing work you’ve been doing. Date Night Is Always Needed. 43yrs and still doing Date Nights. Thank so much.
Alternator output is a function of RPM, after starting the output doesn't start until engine rpm makes a "fast idle" threshold which varies according to the particular vehicle, for instance our 1950's, and 40's tractors only need about 500 rpm to start charging (they were modified from 6v generators to one wire alternators) With our MK23 7 ton 6x6 after starting and running for a minute I hit the "high idle" button for 5-15 minutes to get everything including the air system to full capacity. This kind of thing is critical for all vehicles in winter temps, I high idle my '16 Jetta each morning after startup in winter just to give the battery a little help with the cold charging. I have witnessed people not doing this step over a period of days in extreme cold kill the battery because they did not drive it enough to really recharge the battery, and never let it fast idle. Congrats on the sub's you are an inspiration. That charging system is slick, will have to add it to the considerations list for our home on wheels build.
That Ecoflow is insane!! 💥💥💥.. nice Vid .. 👍 .. One thing is for sure. This will be the First Time a Unit of that Type Has been Fixed to a Army Truck in a US Parking Lot .. Possibly World First! 😬😬😬 .. And by a Male and Female .. Unreal!
Congratulations on 200k subscribers. You always have great new products to survive off grid, and we love your , channel , and how well you work together. You letveachbothervwork with your strengths, and that makes a super team. Take Care
Courtney you are beautiful match to keep Riley in line. My late wife was a beautiful redhead and you remind me so much of her. Thank you for the videos.
I was a little concerned when Riley drilled down through the panel above the batteries. But then I remembered that he's probably made that mistake more often than I have, so he probably doesn't make that mistake anymore. Looks good, can't wait to see progress updates on the new power kit
Holy Crap , Courtney and Riley what a Ride 200,000. Subscribers i've been in it almost from the beginning! It's the Building and Creativity that i like and the Star's of the Show! It's the House and Driveway i'm waiting for? Dean ( Soul) Toronto
Hey guys hello from Adelaide South Australia you are living everyone's dream I think just you guys had the guts to actually do it .I really think you could go main stream as a real reality show ,my favourite is watching you build stuff so keep the video,s coming Cheers Kym Adelaide Oh and congrats on the 200,000 viewers you earned it
Congrats you guys! Geez, solar cooking in the bed of a giant army truck in chairs at the lake. What else would you ask for...? Always looking forward to what you guys are doing!
I can understand why you have so many subscribers. You are a supper couple you have great content no bad language. It's just fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.
I'm happy for you guys to hit the 200K subscribers mark! If you ever get down to the very NE corner of Oregon, I have a surplus military step 'stairs' for the larger trucks. It is a 6 or 7 step, all aluminum and very easy to use, and lite weight! It would likely cost too much to ship to you, but you guys seem to have to climb awfully high to get in the bed of the truck, and I would donate this ladder/stairs/ to your project. Let me know if you are interested. The best to you folks!
Congratulations on your channels success! And why not your smiles and honest reactions are infectious! Good background music as well! Keep doing what you’re doing and cheers to your future success! 👍
Several other folks have also observed that the fans of the hub need to have open flow. I would recommend mounting it vertically to the back wall above the distribution panel with the fans facing up
Amazing how you start the' install right on the spot. Love how you go with the flow! Congratulations on 200K Followers. Just recently found your channel and very busy trying to catch up on all your videos so I finally reach the current ones. Its been a blast to see all you have done in such a short time. Really Amazing. Love & Light from Belgium
Congrats on the 200K subscribers! That’s well worth celebrating with the air fryer. We are slowly reaching 600 subscribers and that alone is exciting for us. Love the EcoFlow products. We use our Delta Max in our camper and it works great.
You two know how to put the date in date night. What a fun, creative and unique way to make that date memorable. Dinner in a dump truck bed watching a sunset on a beautiful lake. That is something your future kids will someday talk about. I love the power system and I’m a bit amazed that Riley could install your Ecco Flow without referencing the instructions even once. Great job and congratulations on hitting 200k. You guys are moving quickly into rare air on your subscriber base and I couldn’t be happier for you.
Oh YES...two words..."Expedition Vehicle." Great first step. There is a total lack of slide-in camper boxes for a Class 5 or bigger, flatbed. Lead the way!
i love that old military truck and that solar system is impressive. I wouldn’t use silicone to seal the roof, try using urethane, it’s what is used to install auto glass. It’s strong,flexible and durable.
Dicor lap sealant, available from rv stores would be the perfect product to use as it is literally what it's designed for. My dad had solar panels on the roof of his rv for over ten years, screws sealed with dicor and zero leaks.
When I saw the the “So Much Power” I’m thinking you added a few hundred horsepower… new turbo, etc etc … I would Rivnut the solar panels to the roof… great video…
Awesome system. I'd like to see more on how this works. Congratulations on 200k I started watching at 49k so let's get up to 1 million subs. Your channel is Wonderful ❣️
You guys are like the EcoFlow star for showing actual real world use of their products. The portable power stations, Air Conditioner and now larger power system are really being put through their paces. And you army truck is now a great portable deck in addition to all it's other uses. Congratulations on your 200k, too.
I think it a wast that EcoFlow system being in that truck why would you need s power system like that in a army dump truck . Yes they got it free .to buy that power system like that probably over $20k . It should be in a cabin or camping fan/truck but it still was a great video
Before you build a RV. Think, 1" steal gas pipe frame. Party lights, mounted fan. And sew up a tent that clips or straps, around the pipes. Then go have fun.
Really like that EcoFlow System. I am researching now to see if it will fit the needs for my upcoming project/build. Thanks and who needs stinki'n instructions 🙂
Another great video, thanks so much. You were so lucky with the size of the batteries - a perfect fit! I noticed the Power Hub has four cooling fans at the back - you may consider moving it forward an inch or two to allow for cooling air flow. Also, you need to find a nicer name for ‘the army truck’
200k celebrations are always the best because after 200k it all moves so fast and comments fly. Live videos help and will help connect with your audience in ways that will become harder with more comments and advertiser demands while also helping fill a week when content is short or pending approval. Great video and thank you both for your hard work.
Thank you all SO much for supporting our channel and lives. We couldn't do ANY of this without you and we can't wait to see what the future holds. 😊
waiting in anticipation for your next update 👍
Love your videos, and just a heads up. I'm not for sure if your truck has it or not, but you should have a battery shutoff. Located under the small box attached to your main battery box.
Just trying help kept you from shocking your self
Congratulations on 200k. Great content, keep it up.
👍✌️Nobody reaches your levels of fantasy and imagination. You just lacked a mobile solar power system so as not to limit your inventiveness. For now I would just add a large beach umbrella mounted on the truck bed and enjoy the coolness of your mountain while sipping one of Courtney's refreshing non-alcoholic cocktails. 200k kisses to both of you.😘🎂🍀💚🤗
That was a very cool install and a fun date night
That army truck would make a sick overlander build!😎🤘
the dirt you got rid of the truck came back on way back home :)
Hopefully the mud is gone for awhile? 😂
We recognized several places in this video. Car wash, package pickup, parking lot install plus grocery. Familiar places. Makes me more curious where you are located. That is quite a power system.
Congrats on 200k, but no ranch dipping sauce!! That is one sweet power system.
Congrats on the 200K milestone !!!
🎉🎉
Congratulations on reaching 200k!
Congratulations on the 200k and having a fun date night.
Well done guys for 200k subscribers 👏

I am so glad EcoFlow did this!!! Soooo interested!!
Congratulations on passing 200K subscribers!!
Thank you so much 😀
Nice upgrade.
And ALREADY 207K! Gratz!
☺️
Congratulations for reaching the 200K+ subs guys 👋👋👋👋👋
CONGRATS!
Good job, your joie de vivre brings a real smile to my face. Keep on, keeping on, thank you.
Alternator output is dependent on engine rpm. So best performance will be at highway speeds. Cool products, another great video..
Awesome upgrade!!
What a fantastic day and that charging system is the bombdiggity!
That lake is so beautiful.
Love your intercom system, you should market those
Ice Cream!👏🏻👏🏻😃. The blender, the air fryer👏🏻😘
I used to have a 1985 Freightliner Cab-over-Engine (COE) power unit.

If your unit doesn't have a sound blanket I would recommend making one or checking with Freightliner or a manufacturer for obtaining one. They greatly reduce the engine noise level in the cab.
Beautiful installation (without reading instructions) of the EcoFlow power kit!
Wow awesome job guys!
I just got done watching..We had to stop filming.. and I just wanted to give a little tip on your firewood. To prevent soot from building up and to reduce the chance of a chimney fire I would always burn 50% pine and 50% any type of hardwood.
Keep up the great work!!
Thanks for the tip!
That military equipment behind the seat was the mount for a radio.
Love you all having fun and spreading really cool tech with Ecoflow👍🏻
the starship "army truck"
you two are surreal. I mean that as a complement 👍✌
Congrats on hitting two hundred thousand. I honestly don't pay attention to the amount of subs the other channels I subscribe to have either. I watch your channel because of the great content, and the two beautiful people on it, so please continue your wonderful projects.
AWESOME JOURNEY

Great job! Next time you guys are over on the Sagle side of the lake - stop by for a coffee!
So versatile.
Very slick install. Almost like they built it for that truck.
We felt the same way! 😂

Date night in a military truck, life is good. The power system you installed is cool, that would be nice for my next project
It’s amazing how well it fit in that space. Luck of the Irish ☘️?
Riley, farmer's tan!
That Ecoflow is insane!! 💥💥💥.. nice Vid .. 👍 .. One thing is for sure. This will be the First Time a Unit of that Type Has been Fixed to a Army Truck in a US Parking Lot .. Possibly World First! 😬😬😬 .. And by a Male and Female .. Unreal!
One thing is sure you guys want to go for groceries 😜 shopping 🙂 in an army truck 😊
AWESOME... AND YOU JUST USED MY PATENTED "SKYDECK" ROOF DESCRIPTION FOR MY CALLEN CAMPER SKYDECK!!.. LOLOL EASY TIGER.. KIKASS SYSTEM
I've been waiting for that system to come out. I'd like to put it my travel trailer, so simple.
Can’t wait till you guys hit 1 million,cause you will and I’ll be here with you!
We’ll have to throw a giant party! 🎉
CONGRATULATIONS........ love you both !!!
Congratulations on 200k subscribers. You always have great new products to survive off grid, and we love your , channel , and how well you work together. You letveachbothervwork with your strengths, and that makes a super team. Take Care
That was great thank you for R V use and service truck fantastic.
Those FMLA TV trucks come with the ladder that slides into the back just below the bed
Courtney you are beautiful match to keep Riley in line. My late wife was a beautiful redhead and you remind me so much of her. Thank you for the videos.
I like how you didn't modify the dashboard.
I was a little concerned when Riley drilled down through the panel above the batteries.
But then I remembered that he's probably made that mistake more often than I have, so he probably doesn't make that mistake anymore.
Looks good, can't wait to see progress updates on the new power kit
That concerned me as did the small amount of space for all those fans at the top of the power hub in the mounting location
Holy Crap , Courtney and Riley what a Ride 200,000. Subscribers i've been in it almost from the beginning! It's the Building and Creativity that i like and the Star's of the Show! It's the House and Driveway i'm waiting for? Dean ( Soul) Toronto
Thanks for being here and supporting us through this journey!
Congratulations 🎊
Really enjoy all of y’all’s videos! Keep it up for I’m old and enjoy watching the stuff about all the solar power
WE WANT TO SEE MORE LOL WE LOVE THIS CHANNEL
It’s so different seeing y’all in shorts and t-shirts! It looks like a beautiful day to be outside.
Congratulations!!’
Hey guys hello from Adelaide South Australia you are living everyone's dream I think just you guys had the guts to actually do it .I really think you could go main stream as a real reality show ,my favourite is watching you build stuff so keep the video,s coming
Cheers Kym
Adelaide
Oh and congrats on the 200,000 viewers you earned it
Thank you so much Kym!
That’s cool now I want one
Congrats you guys! Geez, solar cooking in the bed of a giant army truck in chairs at the lake. What else would you ask for...? Always looking forward to what you guys are doing!
I can understand why you have so many subscribers. You are a supper couple you have great content no bad language. It's just fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Gary! ☺️
That truck bed makes an AWESOME portable patio !
We had no idea how awesome of a patio it would make!
I'm happy for you guys to hit the 200K subscribers mark! If you ever get down to the very NE corner of Oregon, I have a surplus military step 'stairs' for the larger trucks.

Thank you so much!!
I've been away for awhile, but I'm back and great seeing you guys. Keep up the great video's.
Several other folks have also observed that the fans of the hub need to have open flow. I would recommend mounting it vertically to the back wall above the distribution panel with the fans facing up
The instructions may be helpful?
Fans up would get dust settling in it
Congratulations on reaching 200k. Great episode.
Congrats!!
CONGRATULATIONS on 200k !!
Great content, keep smiling Riley! From Vancouver Canada
Amazing how you start the' install right on the spot. Love how you go with the flow! Congratulations on 200K Followers.

I love watching your content I highly recommend your channel to everyone I know
Your four most popular fans are on the back of the Power Hub. I hope Riley has already given the fans some moving attention by now.
Congrats on the 200K subscribers! That’s well worth celebrating with the air fryer. We are slowly reaching 600 subscribers and that alone is exciting for us.
Love the EcoFlow products. We use our Delta Max in our camper and it works great.
1,000 will be here before you know it! 🤘

It's mind boggling how many projects you come up with Sir Riley
Oh YES...two words..."Expedition Vehicle."
Great first step.
There is a total lack of slide-in camper boxes for a Class 5 or bigger, flatbed. Lead the way!
Congrats you two!!
