EV technology is great! I've enjoyed having a high power 75hp Stealth electric outboard on my 17' bow rider runabout. Excellent choice for the type of lake boating we enjoy. We can go over 20 miles on one charge. The top speed is 27 MPH and the last time out, we pulled the raft for fun. See video at: mark's gas to electric boat conversion. Go Electric!

Hi, this video is fantastic! Thanks. Just one question, you said you made a coupler to attach the vent hose to the black vent covers.. how did you do that? The covers are the same size as the vent hoses so can’t figure out how you got those to attach and seal?
@Webcrawler455 ай бұрын
The short answer is I made an aluminum ring that fit tight over the flange on the vents. I just used metallic duct tape to attach them to the hoses…

I tried something similar and now that I have received my ecoflow2 I’m copying your setup. What did you end up using for the permanent coupling of the air vents to the ecoflow hoses?
@Webcrawler457 ай бұрын
I made a 5” and 6” ring about 1” thick out of aluminum sheet and used aluminum tape to secure it to the hose. I install them and push the unit back a little and the spring pressure from the hoses keeps them in place… You can just use several layers of the aluminum duct tape. With enough wraps it is stiff enough to stay in place… Start with one layer on the inside and then wrap the extra layers on the outside…
@ariip7 ай бұрын
Why does the ecoflow need 2 vents. Usually ac units such as portable floor standing home units have just one for exhaust.
@Webcrawler457 ай бұрын
It makes them more efficient. It also keeps from forming negative pressure in the tent…. That pulls in more bugs and humidity…
@Paul-ou1rx5 ай бұрын
The single exhaust type actually pulls air that has been cooled out of the room and out with the hot exhaust. WebC is correct. It creates negative pressure and draws air in. My landlord buys them for the few people who smoke in our building. It stops the smoke smell from seeping into the hallway by creating a negative pressure. He tells them to run it 24/7 even if only on fan mode.

I love this! I have 24' pontoon boat of similar vintage. I've put a 108lb thrust Motorguide trolling motor on it which moves it okay in benign conditions, but won't go against much of a current or wind. I also have an arched solid top on it that is about 8' x 16' I'd like to cover with solar panels. I've heard negative reports on the life span of the flexible solar panels - but the weight of solid panels seems prohibitive. What's your guess about the amount of solar wattage you'd need to yield a near infinite range at a reduced speed? Do you trailer your boat much? Thanks for your post, good pace very informative. I look forward to your progress. (Liked and subscribed!)
@Webcrawler458 ай бұрын
I would not use the semi flexible solar panels they just wont hold up for more than a year or two. If weight is the biggest concern the CIGS very flexible solar panels are nearly ideal. However, they are very expensive…. I have ordered 5 100 watt biracial panels (approx $350) and plan to put them on the rear as a fain tail extension. I was going to do a top but there are several problems with that for me I’ll explain in the next video…

Why not install it lower/under the table, the way you have it, can you still use the large bed?
@Webcrawler4510 ай бұрын
I thought about it. Everything is a compromise. It was difficult to get the vents located that low and still have the hoses easily manageable. We also like to put some pull out draws under the table and there is room for an ecoflow power station under there as well. Also we both prefer two twin beds over one big one as it gives more room to move around in the GO. We do not even carry the extra table with us any more. It makes it easier to pack the mattresses in the tent shell.

i've been researching. another add on solution is to put something like aluminate shade cloth over the trailer to further reduce the heat factor therefore allowing the Ecoflow to cool better. I checked into the Ecofolow Wave 2 like the fact that it duality purpose is so much better the Cool Breeze. I'm gonna get my trailer, now i just have to think long and hard about cutting into the panel or vent out the door somehow.
@Webcrawler45 Жыл бұрын
You can vent out the lower flaps under the beds. Just put in the hoses and zip up tight on the hoses. I just wanted a better solution. Interesting idea about the shade. I did think about using two awnings and making a Velcro that would attach to the upper bars (before you raise it) and come out the side and just stake down the two ends this way it would shade each side of the camper from the top

The T@b has fiberglass skins with aluminum frames and about 2.5" of foam insulation. The windows are double insulated. When it is closed up it is as quiet as any camper I have slept in. If you open the large windows, you can obviously Hear quite a lot around you. The over head fan does create a lot of white noise though. When running the A/C it kind of drowns out most outside noise.
