A few things to try and help out. First is that changing the plug ends but not using the proper sized wiring is not going to help keep from overheating and potentially starting a fire. The cord must be rated for the power being pushed through it and if you are using the same cord as before then changing the plug ends isn't going to do anything to alleviate your problems. Others in the comments have pointed this out, too, so hopefully you were able to see one but I will repeat it just in case you happen to read this comment but missed others. Second is the wiring of the solar panels on the roof of the tiny house. You are going to get far less solar power with 3 in series and 1 in series and then paralleled together. In that configuration you are basically not using all 4 panels. What you want to do is to wire two in series, the other two in series, then parallel those two sets together. You will get much better performance from that. But also be sure that in doing so that you are not going over the input voltage for whichever power station you are sending it to. Also also, Tim was incorrect with regards to what the cold will do to the power. When it's colder it actually allows for MORE power (which could potentially be more than your power station can handle, which is bad news). Be sure you are looking at the VOC on the back of the panels and then adjusting for the record low temperatures in your area so that you do not go over the voltage input limit on your power station. If you do that it could fry your system, or worse fry the system and start a fire. Best of luck, but you've got to be careful with this stuff and it *seems* like there are some potential misunderstandings of wiring in this video which could be fatal if not addressed.
It would be great if you could use solar power to run every thing you'll need in the future. I would like to see you accomplished this as much as you do. Thanks Tim @RidgeLife for helping David with his beginnings of independence with solar power.
That 30 amp adapter isn’t changing that you overloaded the amperage. Make sure you calc out what you are plugging into that extension cord. The heat generated because it was maxed out. Be careful with those extension cords.
Hi David so glad you have all that solar now. I hope it works great. Hopefully with the change of weather and less sun you'll be able to use it! You two are so funny together.
4,800 watts?! Holy cow good thing you are going back on grod on the new property. That's huge. I run everything in the summer on 100 watts. Just a little short in the Michigan winters.
Hi David -- When you're finally ready to renovate that cabin, IMO, a barn style roof would allow you so much more room rather than the A-Frame Peak roof you have now. You could still make the outside look like a cabin.
That looks nice. Nice work of you all. But, i would try to fix a bit the Panels on the roof. Because a gust of wind or when the Heaven Water Gates open together with the Wind (aka Storm) can mess up the solar panels lying on the Roof. But how? Perhaps (Fishnet) strap them on? I dunno. Perhaps someone has a better idea
When installing a solar panel isn't there a optimal angle to set the panel to receive the most sun energy. In southern lower Michigan near Detroit it's 57 degrees from the horizontal. In Arkansas it might be 45 or 50 degrees. I am just asking to see if I don't understand the process.
David and Tim I solared my entire Travel Trailer/Car/Truck,as a backup power source just in case power go's out.I do have a generator too. PS : David ask Tim how do you get a FAA Part 107 drone license .
It does NOT lower the current…it raises the voltage while the amperage is at the rating of the lowest panel…better to raise the voltage so the wires don’t have to be as big…wires size by amperage not voltage in anything under 600 volts
Perhaps a (fish)Net (alike) covering them to hold them in place. So he still gets enough sun on the panels and they are strapped on the roof? Hope this works
HEY NOW, ! CMON!!! Yall better double check Tims claim on his weight, now. He will tell a story two or three different ways before he lie about it. I think he might be a tellin a tale there!!!!😅🤣😂
I believe Mike got upset At you because gumbe was helping you is what prompted him to make his move. On his last video someone suggest Gumbe help him and he stated no way they could do what they need to do. Mike needs to settle what ever strife he has with him because it is obviously affecting the framily. I think he has bit of more than he can chew. I no he is obviously supposed to be an adult but many instances show he isn’t.
Nice!! I see ya got nephew mikey FireStarter helping 😂❤ you out on the roof work😂😮 good thing ole firestarters a 35 year old 😂growing boy😂❤😮 he got the high metabolism and noassatol syndrome 😂❤ he's exactly my weight and height growing up in.. .. I learned about 🔥 along time ago so I'm careful around gas and matches 😂❤ make sure you keep mikey away from the propane has tanks and gasoline and he should make it home to momma lyssa .. she needs to pat him down for lighters and matches before he's allowed outside 😂❤ looking good uncle David your bff is getting spoiled I think you feed the help 😂❤ after the work gets done.. spoiling tim infront 9f nephew mikey firestarter ain't good for family relations. I think after the jobs done ! You take mikey and timmy to mickey dees for a happy meal and ice cream 🍦 win win and mikey can get the toys for himself for a change give him tims too spoil mikey too uncle Dave 😂❤😮 be safe be happy 😊 and get r done tim wants dunkin donuts and coffee tomorrow or else!😂❤ or else ge aint getting it😂❤😂❤😂 kbye
Why do you have to be so negative?? Does it make you feel better about yourself?? We do not need nor want to read your negative comments. Go somewhere trolls hang out and spread your negativity there!!!

Great job pointing those out. It might work for a bit but epic failure will happen.
It would be great if you could use solar power to run every thing you'll need in the future.
I would like to see you accomplished this as much as you do.
Thanks Tim @RidgeLife for helping David with his beginnings of independence with solar power.
Awesome you got the cabin and tiny house both on solar gas saver and money saving love watching you and Tim work together
Tim couldn't done it better myself 😂
Bacon, egg, cheese toasters! Yeehaw! Gotta love those things! Soooo yummy! 😋❤️ Nice job getting the solar upgrades! 🎉
Tim doesn't even have his own generator. He has to borrow his moms lol. He must get a genn genn
The first wind storm they are going to blow right off your roof.
That 30 amp adapter isn’t changing that you overloaded the amperage. Make sure you calc out what you are plugging into that extension cord. The heat generated because it was maxed out. Be careful with those extension cords.
Tim thanks for helping david.mike to!!
Awesome work guys❤❤❤🎉
Oh no Tim now he's a toaster pusher! 🤣 He's got you hooked!
Put a couple of vents on roof to help the heat as needed.
With twisted copper leads you might want to crimp on Ferrells before screwing wires into ends for a more solid connection.
Beautiful mt. Cabin should be warm w the panels.hopefully tiny home warm to
Hi David so glad you have all that solar now. I hope it works great. Hopefully with the change of weather and less sun you'll be able to use it! You two are so funny together.
Awesome job guys. I'm glad David has enough solar power now to run everything he needs. ❤❤
Hi David and Tim, I hope all that solar does the job. You know your stuff Tim with that electrical, 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦
I didn't know you could mix and match panels...interesting!!
@@markattardo you can mix and match panels however you need to make sure your amperage/voltage per string is same.
Hey David. Hey Marlboro Man.
4,800 watts?! Holy cow good thing you are going back on grod on the new property. That's huge.
I run everything in the summer on 100 watts. Just a little short in the Michigan winters.
WHAT ABOUT WIND STORMES. HOW ARE YOU ATTACHING THE PANNELS TO YOUR ROOF?
Good job guys. Solar is the way to go. Good luck✌️🇺🇸
Is the ext cord rated for 30 amps also? Or the wire will melt like before. (Per husband-I’m clueless)
Rev up yours motor and anything powerd.
Hi David -- When you're finally ready to renovate that cabin, IMO, a barn style
roof would allow you so much more room rather than the A-Frame Peak
roof you have now. You could still make the outside look like a cabin.
Great job guys! That has got to be so much better for ya now David! Let give a shout out for the skinny guy! Thanks Mike! LOL
Nice video y'all ❤️ 👍 🙋♂️ 😊
Good afternoon David,Tim, Domino
Good job done by all.
That yellow extention should be a 10 guage wire at min. For a 30 amp plug
Oh Tim. *** CLASS 101.
So are you buying the acreage back that you sold to Mike and Lyssa? What's with the sudden move, right after completing the shed? 🤔
DAVE, by the looks of Mike's oil fry demo, it likely you saved the mountain and will enjoy it much longer with the DD5 35 miles away.😅
What size is the long yellow extension cord? you don't need to go larger with it?
Hope it all works out ! That would be wonderful.😊
Tim your the best
David nice upgrade to the cabin and tiny house Stay safe❤️🇨🇦
Good morning David an Tim 👋
Hay I had though you could put a corner roof to make a rap a round porch.and that would let you add to your sole panels in the future.
Hello David and crew❤❤❤❤From South Carolina
Smart Men !
Looks like a game of Tetris up on that roof.
That looks nice. Nice work of you all. But, i would try to fix a bit the Panels on the roof. Because a gust of wind or when the Heaven Water Gates open together with the Wind (aka Storm) can mess up the solar panels lying on the Roof. But how? Perhaps (Fishnet) strap them on? I dunno. Perhaps someone has a better idea
How does the drone film y’all since all of y’all are busy. I do not see anyone with the remote thingie. I know nothing about these things
Good afternoon, David!
can you post a link to the crimper/stripper?
ToTally Awesome project👍
Lots of solar now.
Great job!!!!!!

Hi David hope your day is going great
Hey David, around 29:56 in the video you might want to take a better look at what you see. Hopefully I'm wrong but maybe I'm not
The Lady Bug imposters?
@BloomWithGracie lol yes.
David and Tim I solared my entire Travel Trailer/Car/Truck,as a backup power source just in case power go's out.I do have a generator too. PS : David ask Tim how do you get a FAA Part 107 drone license .
Happy Blessed New Year D.. ✨️ 💛 🇮🇳
I’m sure you already know, but if the wire isn’t sized correctly, you’re still gonna have a heat up problem with those cords
Great jobs keep it up
Awesome 💪❤️❤️
Hi guys
Friends! ❤
Hello Dave
David why don't you build an external power house far enough away from the house to prevent it from burning down?
Hi ,very informative
It does NOT lower the current…it raises the voltage while the amperage is at the rating of the lowest panel…better to raise the voltage so the wires don’t have to be as big…wires size by amperage not voltage in anything under 600 volts
WHAT NO WATT 👍😎
Is it 4800watts or 1800 watts of solar? What’s max input pv amperage and wattage on that generator?
Yay 👏👏👏!!!
You are lucky you are not toast, and to have a brother like TIM!!!
❤❤😊
When are you going to secure the solar panels to the roof sooooo in high windows they don't blow off??????? huh
Perhaps a (fish)Net (alike) covering them to hold them in place. So he still gets enough sun on the panels and they are strapped on the roof? Hope this works
what happened to Margareta ??
She went back to Mexico City for a week. David is watching her dog.
Solaring up?👍
You mounting them down?
🤠🤘♥️
Good educational video God Bless from your Canadian Friend.
So does he have 240 available in the cabin? If not how does he run that 240 v mini split
I think the mini splits can run on propane. He has a tank out back by it.
I thought Mike said when he installed the mini split that they were 110volts. I’m almost certain he said that!
IBEW INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF ELECTRICAL WORKERS ‼️🥰THATS ME A GIRL
Yep you are 1 lucky man hope you have smoke alarms in place.
Lol 1,2,4
😂😂😂
👍🥶💨
You're going to need bigger cords. At least 10gage be careful with the small wire you're using.
👍🏻👌🏻❤️🙏🏻
HEY NOW, ! CMON!!! Yall better double check Tims claim on his weight, now. He will tell a story two or three different ways before he lie about it. I think he might be a tellin a tale there!!!!😅🤣😂
I thought you were going to tear that down? So why put up panels just to have to move them. I am so confused. Lol.
I believe Mike got upset At you because gumbe was helping you is what prompted him to make his move. On his last video someone suggest Gumbe help him and he stated no way they could do what they need to do. Mike needs to settle what ever strife he has with him because it is obviously affecting the framily. I think he has bit of more than he can chew. I no he is obviously supposed to be an adult but many instances show he isn’t.
all you did was put a heavier end on a still small gauge shitty cord
Tim, you need a Mexican Coca Cola in a bottle.
Stop humiliating DD5
melodrama is getting old.....
Can't stand to watch Tim, he is so annoying.
Mikey moving too soon ...he could of ran an extension cord to his house😂❤ just saying 😂❤😂 .😮
