🤣🤣🤣

I don't get the math... I have 540ah 12v batts, 1000w solar on roof, 70amp charger and I still drain batteries when running 6000btu ac. It will go for a day or 2.

What a great location! Not many beaches we can drive on in California - maybe one of these day I'll be able to do. Nothing better than hanging out with friends!

Can't believe I miss that one! Nice upgrade! Thinking of doing something similar for our little offgrid cabin, gets hot during the summer...

Hi mate. I missed in the video. What size tires and wheels did you put on

It didn’t really suck. It might not have been what you wanted, but it was pretty good with your smile and chuckle, you could’ve kept going and probably gotten a pretty good outcome.

what A/C unit you running ?

am doing the exact same 12v build in my yacht my solar panel same size 415 watts

Loving the rigs !!! Seen you guys near the shire recently

Rear locker if you have the funds would be ideal

Hi, fellow kiwi. We are looking for a 400 amp battery. Did you buy it locally or off the litime web site? Thanks.

What is the black ply you used for the drawers please? I haven’t seen that at Bunnings but maybe I look in the wrong aisles ☺️ TIA

8A from the old panel??? Times 12 volt is 816W????? Huh

Feedback for the title: 400AH doesn't mean anything if you don't write the voltage next to it. I have 60v 40AH so 200AH if it was 12V no? Just write in kWh next time pls❤️ Great vid otherwise

17:08 THATS RUDE! but who would have thought it wont fit lol

Love that a huge panel can run ac permanently. Honestly a game changer and makes you think about extended work trips if you’re able to run the ac. Also once the van gets down to temp in theory the ac should draw less since it’s just maintaining!.

What air con unit is it ?

Awesome trip up the coast thanks for sharing, reminds me of our adventures years ago! Makes me wanna buy another van! And thanks for the shout out!!

Nice rig. Chrome delete the grill and emblem would give it a tougher look also

As I understand 4wd without lockers doesn't bring much an advance.

Sond levels need work, booming then whispering, otherwise 👍

Be lucky to get 10 amps in the UK lol.

Why ?

Where is your mate Max. He seems to have disappeared.😂

do a test as amps more important than volts, 12 or 24 volts cant move without amps, same size panels i have and aew 32 v each but are for 12 v,laid flat like you, 3 amps, raise to face sun a bit better was 9 amps each, and did same on a truck roof, wind is a huge pressure, so if you raise far end of front windward panel it deflects wind, improves fuel and handling, but gains extra amps facing more direct to sun, and a rear one can be angled opposite if your parked up with sun behind you, .laying down you will be well under 1000 watts, so can use cheap controller $30 ebay, you wont have space my truck had eng space to add 2nd alternator to also charge bank up when driving, or great after night heavy drain can bring batts up safe level in minutes. OVERALL YOU DID GREAT.

Love the video but one question do you have plans to add the old battery back into system you can parallel them and make a 600ah and really have some good run time

nice trip. see you next time

that is a good looking van.. you mine me asking how much you paid for this import from japan for awd version? i was thinking to get hiace converted by bus 4x4 or mine spec companies. but it cost way too much. that i could just get a van and a ute for the price they charge. 50k for conversion.... so now im thinking to get a imported hiace too just want to know the rough price .

Great setup mate. We recently spent heaps on solar & lithiums but found we didn’t have enough juice! 600 a/h lithiums,3000w inverter, 900 solar etc.. Great to run our a/c & induction cooking but when we park in the shade because it’s hot, bugger no solar. Get a generator they say. No way, we installed a modified alternator, puts out 180 amps at idle, 350 amps at 2,000 rpm. Killa. No generator nor carrying petrol. The car is our generator. If the batteries get down, start her up, those lithiums will take 125 amps, top them up in no time. Cool camper, cold beers.🎉

Nice beaches. Your van is looking nice❤️🙏🙂

Hi, being super advanced , I find CAD helps. Cardboard Assisted Design.😂 Take care M.

Hey Kev love your videos, 2025 we need more uploads please 🙏 ❤

❤❤❤

Hey Kev, thanks for your great video and update. Q. What’s the brand of the compact cooker you used to cook the boys breakfast one morning?

Kevin thanks for a fun video. Suppose you'll ever go live on Max's property?

Hi Kev, the mods look good! But where is the aircon? Just watched your solar panel upgrade for some inspiration. Running the aircon is a must here at the moment. 43°C. Being able to run aircon off solar is a dream.

Another great video!

Hi Kev, great times with mates and enjoying camper vanning. your van is looking great man ,you have made it into a little home on wheels now. enjoy the great out doors Kev,cheers David.😃

Such amazing scenery. Great bunch of guys. Lots fun with them. Love that video.

❤

It's a good day for a Kev video upload. NSW is fantastic!! Being able to travel with you to see all the interesting spots you find is the best. It doesn't really matter what you get up to, you do such a great job highlighting all the great Oz locations. Thanks for the effort you put into all your vids!!
