@Devon Wharton. I couldn’t have said it better myself. I’ve been watching Slim for years and love the channel for both education and entertainment. Marcia from Minnesota
I’m really enjoying your series on your cabin. Would it be possible to include a link on the marine power set up including HOW you replaced the plug set up. I’m thinking you will be using the solar panels to charge your Jackary but in the interim how are you charging it up? In your car/trailer? Thanks, again, Slim for another informative video.
9:52 “I’ve probably lost some people at this point.” As my eyes are 2 inches from my phone cause I’m so interested in this. You’re a good story teller slim! The cabin videos have been my favorite
Murphy's Laws are numerous, Slim, and your efforts to renovate, improve, and personalize your cabin have demonstrated two of Murphy's most common Laws, that you've been coping with since you purchased the cabin: 1. Everything takes longer than you think it will, and 2. Nothing is as easy as it looks. 😄
Hi Slim! Great video. I have been living off grid for over 5 years now. We built our cabin with both 12 volt wiring and 110 wiring. We use the 12 volt system to run our lights (led) and water pump. Recently we purchased a 1200 watt power station by Ecoflow. That was a game changer! I couldn't be happier. I run a generator for about an hour a day to recharge the Ecoflow. Now, I can run anything that requires 110 volt. We bought a new refrigerator (4.6 cubic feet). The station will run that alone for at least 1 day and half without recharging. We will be purchasing solar panels in the future so at least in the summer we will not need to run a generator to recharge the Ecoflow. I was really impressed :)
Very good solution for the 12 volt system! I really like the Lamp that you mounted on the piece of Birch wood! This has definitely given me some ideas. Thank you Slim!
Loved seeing your deer out front. Good to see how solar power can work for you. That was very interesting. I hope you have a good week. The cabin looks beautiful, & cozy.
I remember when you first showed us the little cabin. I think I mentioned that if you bought RV products and installed them into your cabin it should be very effective. Plan 3 is working the best. WTH is with NB? Crazy laws. But, I understand it is for safety. I can not tell you how many channels I watch from off griders in Arkansas. In that state you can do anything you want on your land. Hence, lots of burned out places. LOL Your cabin is looking so nice with the shingle siding. Nice lighting at night all around. And, curtains? Cozy. Hope you are able to sleep inside during the cold winter nights now. Cleaver man!
That and the lost sales due to the video. Once they get their proverbial stuff together and correct the deficiencies in their product, they can make a major sales campaign on the "new and improved 2.0" version of their portable generator.
Mr Slim slides through another loop hole to meet his needs! Smart thinking Mr Slim Slider Potato Head. I’m going to try this also Thank you for sharing your ideas.
Great solution to skirt strict electrical laws T. Edison would be proud of you as 12 v dc was his way of lighting world untill that pesky Telsa came along safe source of power that has a purpose in every day life.
As I've said before...you SP are a genius! You come up with the most brilliant ideas! I have to show my husband this video as I do all of your others because you have a fix for everything. I am so impressed by you! Thank you for this very informative and interesting video. I appreciate your knowledge.👍😁
Wow Slim, a highly illuminating post. Electrical installation is highly regulated in Australia for 12 volt in vehicles, as well as AC/DC.in any situation. However the new plug and play batteries are enabling many of us to bypass the red tape in our camp set ups. You have gotten me thinking about how much power could be saved if everything was 12 volt in my home! Food for thought.
As an electrician for over 50 years I have been arguing the inefficiency of inverters for a long time. Use the dc directly from your solar, wind or other source !! Good job Slim.
Thank you Slim. I have commented before that I am from Western NC and now live in very busy and urban Japan. Your videos come out on the weekend here....just at the right time I need to take a breath and recharge my batteries. I miss the woods and small town life so much and live through your videos. You have inspired me to rent a camper when I visit the states this summer and really enjoy the outdoors. Thank you.
Wife & I enjoy all your videos! We don't RV, but we live in a rural area with frequent outages. We have many 12 v. Items (electric throws, led lighting etc) we have two 100AH lithium batteries (kept charged via solar) and we have a Honda 2kw generator which I just converted to run on propane as gas doesn't store very well. Between the Honda and lithium batteries we're in good shape to cope with outages. Incidently they make a regular ac light bulb containing a small lithium battery that charges when you're using it on AC. Should the power go out it will function for several hours on it's internal battery. They're pretty cheap and available on line or Home Depot etc. I've got them placed throught the house should the power go out we're not hunting a flashlight down. Cabin is looking great! Especially like the cedar shingles and metal roof! Keep up the good work, Rich
1. Good look8ng neighbor that stopped by for breakfast. 2. Love the heavy cover on the woodshed 3. Siding looks great! 4. Boo his on the power woes but yay for solutions.
I have often wondered how people in Canada and the USA got away with doing their own electrcal work. Here in Australia it is illegal to do your own so you have to pay an electrician, just as you have now. It's interesting how it can vary. I am pleased you have been able to come up with some good solutions. Another good video. Thankyou.
Here in New Hampshire USA, I was able to do everything I wanted to DIY. I did the electrical, plumbing, put in a boiler, gas lines, water softener system, etc. As long as it's an average job, there isn't a need for expensive unreliable contractors if you're handy.
My village on Long Island, NY used to allow homeowners to take a test to qualify to do their own electrical work. Usual method applied, you roughed in, got it inspected and approved, then finished and got that approved. Saved a bundle. Then they sadly did away with it, only registered and licensed electricians now. Interesting comments about power stations providing 120v. There are a few YT channels for RV'ing that describe how inefficient 120 conversion is and to whenever possible, use the 12v outlets. Easy on a modern RV where everything is LED, which may be your best solution for future lighting.
Slim I enjoy your videos! Something to think about is adding thermo electri cells on the sides of your firebox! These generate electric power from the heat and can be sized to power additional batteries and your jackery at the same time! This is especially useful when solar sunshine is at a limit like in higher parts of the world! Their not cheap but when combined keeps your batteries charging even when using power! I also put a 40 amp 12 volt generator on my truck engine with a 2000watt inverter charger that I can use at the jobsite/ camping or to just keep my 4 -12 volt battery bank charged! It operates efficiently at idle speed!
I also found my power station would drain all power over a matter of days even when stored! I discovered the inverter has a power switch that should only be turned on when using the 120v outlets (A "functional limitation" not well disclosed in the ads or manual...hmm). With the inverter off, the station only uses about 5% of the battery capacity per month on 12v standby. I'm guessing you should be able to run 12v items directly from your power station for a long periods. Please let us know! So, like an RV, we have have a 12v system powered by the battery and a 120v system that runs 120v appliances only when connected to shore power. Running your cottage on 12v is a great idea BTW! Love your channel.
Never underestimate the mind of "Slim," I believe Innovation is his middle name 😄. Way to hang in there....we will have to see where the solar panels go next 🤔. Thanks for sharing. Oh, the cabin is looking great 👍
Very cool... As a EE, I would love to convert most of my house to a 12V system covering the lighting and air circulation. The outliers would be the HVAC and kitchen appliances that consume high power.
Wow! You're the man!! You have been busy. Your tenacity amazes me. The cabin outside looks so good. Glad you got through the electric dilemma. Very cool repurposing the light fixture. How nice to see you have wildlife, beautiful deer. 🙂👍👍👍
What a wild journey for electricity! I love your final fix, that was very creative. We love our Jackery, we just bought our first one last summer and used it to power a fridge/freezer for a cross-country trip. Using a power station to power your lights is brilliant, pun intended, .lol
Very good Slim. You unknowingly have solved my cabin off grid woes man and I appreciate it. Thank you for showing this and if you every make it to Tombstone Arizona next winter, I buy you a dinner. Stay safe.
Sounds like you can be on grid, off grid or offgrid 12v. The options may prove themselves useful in the future! So cool to see your creativity. Necessity is the mother of invention!
ok that's what that cord is for.. I have a teardrop camper and it has a double ended 12v cord like you used with your jackery.. I have solar panels on the td and I have 2 1000w and one 300w jackeries plus the agm battery that came with the td...I couldn't remember what that cord was for but now I see that's how I run my td electrical off of my jackeries... see???? So I now know to run the td off my jackery I plug that cord into the 12v outlet of the td and the same on the jackery.... I knew the manufacturer set that up for some purpose... and I do have a kill switch to keep from draining the agm battery whilst using the jackeries... here I come truly off grid camping and exploring... thanks again Slim for your wonderful instructional videos... as you can see, they really helped this gal....
I have the exact transfer switch. Installed it myself and then had an inspection done afterwards. I didn't need the inspection, but for insurance purposes, I think it was a good idea.
Good evening slim, Hope your good, I’ll start with just how fantastic and natural your cabin is looking and coming along. Iv watched from the start and I absolutely love what you have done and doing on the improvements 🧐. I admire that it’s off grid and self efficient , that goes a long way when living in natures back yard and keeping it natural. I always look forward to all your posts and as you fund every single piece your self and no sponsors, that is what makes it real and honest. I have watched most of your posts more than twice and never get bored, many tips and good advice. I am never amazed just how much of a do it your self guy you are with absolute brilliance in your ideas 🤔. I am planning to live off grid and live full time in my touring caravan in the next 2 months and took onboard many of your advice and great ideas. I like the fact that animals feel comfortable so near your cabin ,,,,, thank you for all your time and effort in every post you share with us. Thanks slim 🤝🇬🇧
🧐 did you do the switch mod by taking the USB from the marine board and placing it to the wall light🧐 as I believe the marine board is equipped usually with two USB ports
This I will be very interested in. I always thought 12V was a viable option over 110V especially since more items are coming to market for 12V usage. I'm also planning a winter getaway down in Arizona making a small dwelling that's off grid. So glad you ended up going this way.
@BAH In my area that can get pricey too. But there is the option of having a contractor dig a trench and we can DIY the conduit. Costs are much less that way.
@@coachgeo Well yes and no. 48v is as a system much better than 12v for starters required wires are much smaller than in 12v system, but for example there is far less 48v lamps than 12v lamps. Anyway if loads are in that category as in this video, 12v is good enough even tho that wire from Jackery to wall looked kinda thin to my eyes.
Government over reach as usual. The more they say safety you can just hear lost some more freedoms. Great persistence and I think I would have said screw it and do twelve volts just like a camper. Another great Slim video.
Great video Slim and it is sad Canada has such a huge amount of red tape in all of it's departments. Your way of getting around some of that red tape is awesome and ingenuous. Stay warm.
I added links in the video description for all the items I purchased in this segment. Please check it out if you are curious. Thanks! SP
Frankly. It would be interesting to see and get more info about the 12 volt installation and if you add Solar. FYI the cabin is amazing.
Thank you for the links
Your calm, storytelling demeanor is always a welcome break from the fast track of life. Thanks for doing what you do and for sharing with all of us.

Brilliant! I love how you meet a challenge head-on, not accepting the status quo, and figure your own way to get things done safe and efficiently.
Ditto on the brilliant!
9:52 “I’ve probably lost some people at this point.” As my eyes are 2 inches from my phone cause I’m so interested in this. You’re a good story teller slim! The cabin videos have been my favorite
Right? I was keen on figuring out how he got around all the nonsense and came to a solution!
totally had my interest
i have lived on 12 volt for years. simple easy and no inverter. great solution
The opening segment really shows how much you have done on the cabin. Well done! Thanks
Murphy's Laws are numerous, Slim, and your efforts to renovate, improve, and personalize your cabin have demonstrated two of Murphy's most common Laws, that you've been coping with since you purchased the cabin: 1. Everything takes longer than you think it will, and 2. Nothing is as easy as it looks. 😄
Don't forget to add that it also costs more than you planned as well.
Awesome opening with the Deer feeding!
Loved the opening critter. I Saint Andrews we call them "rodents "
Love how you’re always thinking outside the box for solutions. Great video as always Slim.
Man your geniuses! I never thought use 12V system at house!
Hi Slim! Great video. I have been living off grid for over 5 years now. We built our cabin with both 12 volt wiring and 110 wiring. We use the 12 volt system to run our lights (led) and water pump.

We will be purchasing solar panels in the future so at least in the summer we will not need to run a generator to recharge the Ecoflow. I was really impressed :)
I'm not a fan of AC/DC but I am a fan of your creativeness!
I ❤ the deers casually going on with their business in the background. Our deer bounce out of sight two seconds before they hear us.
Very good solution for the 12 volt system! I really like the Lamp that you mounted on the piece of Birch wood! This has definitely given me some ideas. Thank you Slim!
Smart and brilliant move 12 volt!!!!
Slim I love how you think outside the box. Excellent solution the 12 volt system for backup!!!
I can't believe how creative and resourceful you are Slim! I learn so much from you while being entertained. 😃
Loved seeing your deer out front. Good to see how solar power can work for you. That was very interesting. I hope you have a good week. The cabin looks beautiful, & cozy.

Cleaver man!
very interesting, I like the 12-volt solution. nothing beats the Keep It Simple Slim method
Ohh, and amazing idea to use 12v!, Genius move
That company who ended up giving you a refund probably learned a ton about their product form you. Way to be persistent!!
That and the lost sales due to the video. Once they get their proverbial stuff together and correct the deficiencies in their product, they can make a major sales campaign on the "new and improved 2.0" version of their portable generator.
Great video Slim,any chance you can name the company that you bought from. Keep up the great videos.😊
The shot with the lights on in the cabin really makes it pop! Looking great Slim!
Mr Slim slides through another loop hole to meet his needs! Smart thinking Mr Slim Slider Potato Head. I’m going to try this also Thank you for sharing your ideas.
Best opening scene on RUclips .🦌
Love the deer in the begining so cute I love when your in the cabin my fav video the cabin is beautiful looks great ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I enjoy your methodical approach to things. Keep up the good work.
Good afternoon Slim
Good Evening Jason!
Great solution! As a live aboard electrician I fully approve! Well done!
Great solution to skirt strict electrical laws T. Edison would be proud of you as 12 v dc was his way of lighting world untill that pesky Telsa came along safe source of power that has a purpose in every day life.

Your creative DIY solutions continue to impress.

Good job on explaining this process even though you did "loose" me half way through, I watched to the end. Thanks Slim!

I really admire your handyman skills. You are VERY professional.
You are so much smarter than you look. Only teasing, long time fan and wanted to leave a comment and a like to be supportive.
Well done! ☺ Greetings from an Englishman 🇬🇧 in Arabia!

Your videos are so much better than anything on tv! I rarely watch tv, but I'm always chomping at the bit for a new Slim video!!
agreed 100%
What an intro scene! Absolutely great!

Slim you are an inspiration to all of us "DIY's"
Great video Slim!
Great video Slim
You should’ve faded out with some maniacal laughter after that last line.
watching the deer reminds me of when growing up in Nova Scotia we had a bungalow and would put out salt blocks for the deer! happy trails!
Wow...your cabin is beautiful...you are making it look brand new...amazing!!!
Slim I enjoy your videos! Something to think about is adding thermo electri cells on the sides of your firebox!

Adapt and overcome !
I truly enjoy all your videos, but none more than your cabin videos. Keep them coming!
Really cool solution turning to low voltage wiring.
Sounds like you can be on grid, off grid or offgrid 12v. The options may prove themselves useful in the future! So cool to see your creativity. Necessity is the mother of invention!
Outstanding sir....sucks "They" won't let you work on 120vac, but I love your workaround!! The cabin is looking very nice....thanks for the videos
Noticed you got a new handle for the stove. Much Nicer, especially for bare hands.
Ha ha, well Slim, you are a problem solver. Usually, I multitask while watching videos, this one captured my attention 100%.
Totally enjoyed this video, in fact, I gave it a thumbs up during the first 20 seconds because of Bambi in the video! That cabin is so very charming.
Good afternoon Slim. Crunchy snow/ice = ccccold! ;-)
It just got even colder!
ok that's what that cord is for.. I have a teardrop camper and it has a double ended 12v cord like you used with your jackery.. I have solar panels on the td and I have 2 1000w and one 300w jackeries plus the agm battery that came with the td...I couldn't remember what that cord was for but now I see that's how I run my td electrical off of my jackeries... see????

Loved the yard puppy at the beginning!
I loved this one. Thanks for sharing. I’m really enjoying your frugal, inventive cabin journey.
HEY! Hello Slim ! Awesome to see you and of course thumbs UP!
The opening with the deer was absolutely stunning! Amazing footage and audio capture. 🏆
I have the exact transfer switch. Installed it myself and then had an inspection done afterwards. I didn't need the inspection, but for insurance purposes, I think it was a good idea.
We first check to see if Slim has uploaded a video then we move on. You are a natural cinema creator. Very talented, indeed.
I love how you problem solve, and your cabin is looking quite cozy.🍻
Great video!
Slim, all your videos are so well done, I like everyone. Thanks for taking to time to produce and post.
Thank you, Slim. One of the many things I like about you is that you are a problem solver! Well done!
Cabin is looking really good!
That 12V dc system you have come up with is awesome. Given me some ideas for a future project idea. Thanks.
Well done Slim, fantastic entertainment. The cabin looks great.
Good evening slim,
Hope your good, I’ll start with just how fantastic and natural your cabin is looking and coming along.

The deer was a paid actor.
Slim, these are fantastic solutions! You got through it in style!
This I will be very interested in. I always thought 12V was a viable option over 110V especially since more items are coming to market for 12V usage. I'm also planning a winter getaway down in Arizona making a small dwelling that's off grid. So glad you ended up going this way.
I worked with a guy 20 years ago that had a 12 VDC house because the power company wanted some insane amount to run the lines to his house.
24v better... 48v they say is for offgridding the best.
@BAH In my area that can get pricey too. But there is the option of having a contractor dig a trench and we can DIY the conduit. Costs are much less that way.

I love how cozy your cabin is
Brilliant fixes! More to come. AWESOME!!! Great presentation! Thank you
Great video Slim and it is sad Canada has such a huge amount of red tape in all of it's departments. Your way of getting around some of that red tape is awesome and ingenuous.
Stay warm.
So much learning today from Prof. Slim. Thanks for the clear explanations of how you finally made it all work. Stay warm!!
Right on, Slim 🎉
This is one of the most interesting videos I've seen you produce.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.
Lookin’ good, Slim. You’ve gotten so much done since purchase!
