The width was correct because I measured the camper and ordered the right size. Plenty of options on the product link. The bottom had to be trimmed

Cool setup! I like how you could take everything out if you needed the whole bed area. I just ordered an Oru Bruin camper and trying to get idea on how to build it out. I like your setup and probably going to do something similar.

Product Link: amzn.to/4bSZgWf (we may earn a commission from links in this post) This is how I installed a magnetic screen in the entrance to my truck camper made by OVRLND Campers. This will work on any opening for campers such as Topo Toppers, GFC, ORU Designs, Alu Cab, etc. This works great for camper vans too!

I want to get an Anker C1000 to power a Dometic fridge on camping trips. I read a review on Amazon for the C1000 that said if the 12V outlet doesn’t have a draw of at least 10W for an hour it shuts off. Have you experienced that? Curious if there’s validity to that. Wouldn’t want the fridge to power off if it doesn’t draw power from the Anker often enough if that’s actually a feature.
@dirtnsmores 11 күн бұрын
Yeah it's happened a few times to me. A way to circumvent that is to set the timer to run for the max time (23 hours 55mins). It will shut off, but you're notified on your phone app. From there I just switch it back on.
@matkinson64 11 күн бұрын
@@dirtnsmores Thank you for the response, I figured there was some kind of setting in the software you could change. I ended up buying the Ecoflow Delta 2 this morning just for the fact it was $20 cheaper on Amazon than the Anker. $579 vs $599. Both seemed comparable and I like how you can buy an extra battery for either to double the Wh for longer camping trips.

@@biggarfish no problem. I do have a small issue with the latches of the camper not having enough room to flip up or down with the awning there. OVRLND warned me that would happen beforehand but I had them install anyway. I haven't got a chance to work on the solution, so for now if I want to pop up or down the camper you will have to lift off the awning and move the latches. Not a huge deal as the awning is only 35 lb but kind of annoying

Products in video: Anker Solix C1000: amzn.to/4awF6jc Anker Power Strip: amzn.to/3yBNn88 For my @ovrlndcampers #truckcamper build I wanted a super easy way to get power to the truck bed. This would also work for #vanlife build. I didn't want to fuss with charge controllers, inverters, etc. A portable power station works super easy. The Anker Solix C1000 recharges from 0 to 100% in just under an hour from the wall power cord so I charge it up every 3-4 days in the garage. Eventually I plan to wire it up to the truck battery so it charges on the go! In another video you can see us playing on the Nintendo Switch and a laptop computer hooked up to my computer monitor in the camper. This is a great setup!
