Wasn't boring at all! Love all your gadgets and high techy things. I'm the exact same way. Very nice truck and trailer, Brian. God Bless!

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thank you👍🏻

[@williamsuttle3645]

Brian, follow your battery cables from the battery and you should find the charger. Mine plugs into an ac outlet under the sink, if you flip the breaker it cuts off a ton of stuff, but if you just unplug it then it just kills the charger. However, your kill switch on the battery should do the same thing. Also the rv 12v will run without a battery when plugged in to shore power on most rvs- yep weird. Try those camping towels, they are very lite and dry fast. Coach?! That there is an RV Brian.

It's all good you do what you have to do I'll keep watching your Channel 👍

Thanks!

Heyy Brian you need to get a spray that say safe around children and pets, hope you get everything sorted with the camper, stay safe

It's enjoyable to see all the things you use to run your "camping toys". I am so challenged when it comes to solar power stations and their related panels. It's the one item(s) that keeps me from camping year round throughout the south in my Van. I do "camp" all summer but in the MOTORCOACH and many places it just doesn't fit size wise. I absolutely 💯 ♥ van camping but at 70 plus years of age I find AC is a must.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks👍🏻👍🏻

[@jamesdixon8084]

Thanks for posting. I enjoy your videos

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@trevormangus7832]

You should easily be able to run one AC off of a standard 110 extension cord. You just need the adapter to get it down from 50 to 110. And don’t use the microwave at the same time. It will pop the breaker

[@ddcornell1019]

New to your channel. This was a good way to test out your equipment and to hide out from the wife.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

lol, thanks!

[@alexfranco1040]

I liked how you had the movie picked! I would have spent an hour searching for one lol

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

😂👍🏻👍🏻

[@jimmycleveland1373]

Great video Brian. Interesting setup on the batteries. I just bought 2023 f250 Superduty, and it is a beast so far.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@Timw927]

My RV is wired the same, you keep the converter on to run your DC stuff(lights, fridge and such) turning the battery switch off is all you need to do. Good test of that power station for boondocking with the fridge on as well.

Just cinnamon by itself works great. That all I use.

I have used a 30 amp adapter to 15 amp shower power outlet and it runs my fans.

Yes, even in my own backyard. lol

[@georgewacaser4559]

I understand you were doing an experiment with the portable battery power, but FYI, I can run my 13.5K btu air conditioner off of a 20A house circuit ( travel trailer is in the driveway ). I use a 10ga extension cord. Edit: I guess I should have said that was an expirement ! ( haha, just kidding buddy !! )

You should move to El Paso Texas is always sunny and less humid

Hey Brian, i’ve been watching your channel for a while now. Love all your videos. I also have a F250 with the 7.3 Godzilla engine. Do yourself a favor and get a cold air intake installed. You will thank me later . You think the engine is powerful and sounds good now wait until you have one of those installed!! I have the S&B intake

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks! I’ll look into it

[@redfox_outdoors]

hey sweet LBJ Grasslands dispersed camping is about an hr from my house. I go dispersed camping there all the time. enjoy your weekend out there wish I was out there but work and packing to move got in the way.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

[@OutdoorLiving88]

I enjoyed the video and seeing all the little upgrades you did gives me a few ideas. I do have one suggestion about the fire ants though. When we go camping or even just spend the day at a picnic sight at the lake, I always mix up some Medina Orange Oil cleaner/degreaser concentrate. I use 2 tablespoons of the orange oil with a half gallon of water, put it in a spray bottle, and spray it around our tent, picnic table, truck tires, etc. It keeps the ants away plus it smells nice.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks for the tip 👍🏻👍🏻

[@chasem6805]

Hey Brian, I believe with the battery switch set to off your converter was directly powering the 12v loads bypassing the battery. I believe turning the battery switch to on and shutting off the converter you would no longer be charging the battery and should still have 12v power.(at least that is how my camper was wired). I imagine it works well just inefficient. Love the video though!

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks👍🏻👍🏻

[@daveparlante3713]

If your battery switch is off, and then you turn off the converter, then no power is getting to your 12v appliances. You need to turn the battery on and then flip the converter breaker off. Then the battery will power your 12v appliances and since the converter is off it will not charge the battery.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks👍🏻

Make sure the bug spray doesn’t hurt the pig/ pickles. There is a spray called orange peel spray that works well. Have a good weekend.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

[@claysisson4627]

You have the RV stored in someone else’s driveway? Must be family or a really good friend.:)

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Just for a week or so. I normally keep it at a storage facility

[@warren6899]

From South Africa Evening Brian clock in number 225 settling down for the evening, watching utube. Thought for the day...... BW in a hiking tent for a weekend..... or is that just wishful thinking.. 😅

[@mrp55net]

A great experiment, Brian. Any plans to put solar panels on the roof of your trailer?

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

No, likely not

[@phantp78]

I’m pretty sure you can sleep in the back seat. Just find some foam for comfort.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

[@Steve-Goff]

I’m sorry Tara sent you to the dog house (aka camper). LOL. Hopefully that homemade insecticide works when you guys are camping. Looking forward to seeing your dispersed adventure with Ben

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@clarencewiles963]

It’s still all about power. They make a bunch of adapters in multiple ways. Dog bones of all kinds 😂 Yes you’ve got the easy start plug adapter 😊 Next time use the easy start.

I spend most saturday nights in my camper hear at my house

[@user-gy1ju3zz5w]

I thought you maybe had the camper at a storage facility. Do you store it at someone’s home? Looked like you were at a residence. Interesting video. Thanks

[@troyyarbrough]

I've been watching both of Brian's KZbin channels for a couple of years, so I have a pretty good idea of who's residence his RV is parked at. I'm sure Brian doesn't want it known or he would have answered the question already.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

I keep it in storage, it’s just here at this house for about a week.

[@honkey6373]

How are you liking your new truck? It's crazy that f150s and super dutys are essentially around the same price when you option them out the same. Unless you add the diesel I guess. But I'm in the same mindset as you about the diesels. They have their place, but I don't quite need one.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Loving it so far👍🏻👍🏻

If you like big salads have you tried Salata? I miss that place as they don’t have any locations in AZ. I’m guessing you have an HOA, how long can you have your RV in the driveway before they fine you?

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Never heard of Salata, so guess they aren’t around here. No HOA where the camper is right now👍🏻

[@esiebert7625]

@@BrianWatersOutdoors I used to go to them in Houston, looks like there are at least a dozen in the DFW area. It’s mostly a TX/CA chain. If you like loaded unhealthy build your own salads thats the place to go, lots of protein/meat toppings also, cheers!

[@glossyberry7095]

IS THE STARLINK MOUNT GOING TO ALLOW THE SLIDE TO COME BACK IN?

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Yes👍🏻

[@mishooter4774]

What's your other channel Brain? Why not just disconnect the battery? Just unbolt it.

do you have a link for the night camara?

[@BentTrails28]

AC ?? Why? Hoity-toity.

[@robertsandidge441]

Just disconnect the battery up front. At the terminal. Even if the battery switch is off the battery will still charge you just don’t get power from that battery.
