Whooop! You just mentioned me in your video, and yes as I was saying in the email you should definitely do the merchandise you have all of us supporting you in this.
Can’t wait to see if you do!
All our love and support sent your way. Wooop wooop!!
i wouldn't normally buy merch BUT ide 100% buy yours your such a genuine person
Fairly recent subscriber, great to see a genuine guy on RUclips, love the videos (Warts & All).
Just a quick note on Merchandise, I for one would purchase some, anything to help you produce more content.
Good luck with the future van upgrades & your next driving test. 👍🏻
you will need a higher rated fuse for your inverter. 150amp x 12v is only 1800w. If you run anymore than this the fuse will go. For a 3000w inverter you should run a 250 amp fuse and 40mm2 cable which is rated for 300amps. Personally I like to use 50mm2 cable for inverters,
You will get it next time ! Nice to see your a real human in all your videos. Love the videos keep them coming !
Sorry to hear you failed the test, always another day and a positive one. Just brush off all your bad habits and treat it like your new to it all again, fingers crossed on passing. Stay safe ✌️
You said you were happy to receive suggestions in your comments section - I have been doing a lot of research on van conversion including the power system. The general advice appears to be that you should have an isolator switch on each "incoming" power line to your van systems. So that means an isolator switch straight after the leisure batteries (correctly rated); an isolator switch on the incoming power cables from the solar panels and an isolator switch on the DC2DC cable (before reaching the busbar). The 240V from the inverter should be going via a breaker switch (like) you have in a house as should any shore line. The exact switches required for the 240V circuit depends on if you are using an Inverter, Charger or a combination unit. Victron do a unit which manages 240V from shore, inverter and charging.
You’re about on my level of electrics knowledge, so I’m all ears for more understanding! Great vid.
Great review on the new inverter👍🏻 I don’t know if you’ve got electric hookup installed but there is a way that you can use all the 230v sockets fed by either the inverter or the mains hookup. There is a voltage sensing contactor that you can wire in. When the sockets are running from the inverter and you plug in the mains hookup it automatically switched over to feed the sockets from the mains, then when you unplug the mains hookup it automatically switches back to the inverter output. The switch contactor is called ca2kn22p7 and it’s about £40. I have 2 fitted on my van, one for the 230v sockets and another one for the fridge running through a 230v to 12v transformer from Halfords for about £15 , this works when the mains hookup is plugged in it switches off the 12v feed to the fridge. When the mains hookup is unplugged it switches the contactor off and then it goes back to the 12v battery power
Love it.... wishing you all the best with your updated van. Keep it up bro❤
Definitely do the merchandise t shirts hoodies and hats great idea just make sure you can get some 4xl lol 😊👍
Looks like he's given you a 150amp fuse for the inverter. That's not enough for a 3000w inverter.
To work out fuse amperage you divide wattage by voltage, 3000w÷12.7v=236amps. So you need a 250a fuse. If you try to pull anymore than 1.9kw that fuse will blow. The fuse blowing is not actually dangerous but pointless having a 3Kw inverter if you can only use 1.9Kw of it. If he's under spec'd the fuse check the cables are up to the job. Ideally need to be 50mm👍🏼
cables need to be 70 mm
Defo on the merch! Loving the videos!
Such a nice guy 👍🏽
humility allows you to progress further than the person who sits static in pride.
Hi mate. I would recommend fitting a DC Isolator between your batteries and the positive busbar. Good luck and safe journeys.
You want a breaker from inverter before your sockets mate 👍
I'm looking forward to your conversation.. It's going to look beautiful ⚘
Good luck in all you do
I know that roundabout! It’s a brain confusing one, I’ve done exactly the same thing in my van. There’s another really awful one at bamber bridge for Blackpool exit. They are misleadingly signposted. You’ll get it next time for sure.
Very interesting video this one, useless at electrics. Thanks for the quality content. Take care love peculiarlyhookedonpendle
Hi Mate.
Love what your doing and the way you are looking at life.
We are a bit like that now realising to just get on with it etc.
Could you let us know if your LG fridge has been a good buy and if so wheredidyou get it from ie any links .
Kind regards Jonny
I want merch!!
Even if you get 3 of each size for the time being..see what sells the most and go from there 👍🏻
17:18 bifold shower door mate ,there awsome ,just make sure you use fairy liquid for lubricating the runners ye .😊
Parked next to you in Victoria today didn’t know you lived in a van mate 😂
It says in the inverter advert it is not suitable for class 1 appliances. Class 1 basically means any electrical item with three core cable and that needs to be earthed. Please check as i believe most air fryers are class1. Be safe.
I think you need loads more amps on that fuse like a 250 or 300 amp your cables are far too small you need safely 60mm or 75 and keep them short
Yes I’d buy a hoodie!
Bit concerned with the product description on the Inverter 'PLEASE NOTE: This product is not suitable for operating Class 1 appliances. Typical Class 1 appliances include toasters, kettles, washing machines and irons' I question its efficiencies. Some inverters have a 90% efficiency, others have as little as 60% - Therefore heavier on your leisure battery. Thanks for the video!
I'm learning so much so thank you I'm. All good with everything but electrics... And the thought of them is a tad 😳 lol.
You don’t need any of that electrical stuff nowadays… you just need a Clayton Power Unit…
Electricity, it’s all magic isn’t it? You may as well have been speaking Japanese, LOL, I think it’s a man thing. Still watched even though I didn’t have a clue, love your videos. Excited for you with your furniture changes. Take care, see you soon. 💕
I always ask what happened to all your reptiles .I used to follow you on northern exotics
Changes the voltage not the wattage so 12V to 230V (for future reference )
First 3minutes I was saying to myself “please tell me it’s a pure sign wave not modified” 😜👍🏻
I'd buy!
love the vids but rember all vans have a weigh restriciron keep it light i say
😢😢, pisser for the test, but it's help you better yourself. Wee question, you said you were given away one of you all power station 🎉 was there a lucky person? 🎉🎉🎉
Hi love waching you relly whud love to go all over Scotland but don't drive l think shoud start holaday thing where people drive set you all up 😅😅then l can have a holaday like that 😅😅😅😅 well l keep trying to speek my husband in to doing it no all time stay safe
Mate dont use an extension lead coiled up
JONE LOVE THE VODEOS R ASH BRISTOL UK🤪
Volts not watts ya pilchard 😂
Class 1 appliances include toasters, kettles, washing machines and irons air fryers ect. not sutibal for these items so not a good buy.
I’d buy merch like hoodies
Are you sure about your battery's, you say you have 400 ah that throws out 2000 watts, I have a 300ah fogstar pro that throws out 3600watts
You keep mixing up watts and volts
👍👍🚚🚚👍👍
must get verry annoying with all the buzzing from the 2 buzz bars .
I have a hard time understanding you Brits
Mate I’m British and I struggle with him as well. He needs to slow down a bit it’s mayhem when goes off on one.
Just thought you’d like this. Positive. J
Sorry tried to post a photo. Failed.
