Cargo Camper Miminalist Elegance: Adding lithium Part 2

[@catherinelittlebear9863]

Thank you for doing the lithium videos! I have been trying so hard to figure this out.

[@CraftsmanontheLake]

Remember, this is a self contained unit that takes all the work out of putting in lithium batteries. Many of the systems out there are home brewed from parts. There are a bunch of companies that do this though. There are also some self contained units that can be used just by themselves like the Jackery.

You've just become my Maine man! Love youe KISS method that's Keep It Simple Sweetheart. Going to copy some of your plans and ideas when I get around to it.. I'm 77, female, so is it too late? Naaah. You are my father's stylle of guy and we were best buddies.

The ultimate compliment. Thank you Pat. Good luck on your build. It can go quickly if you can do without the inhouse toilets and sinks. "Still camping but off the ground and out of the rain". Be sure to come back to let me know how you're going with it. especially if you put it online someplace!

New subscriber love your videos.

Wish you had shown how all the wires got arranged and plugged in.

[@CraftsmanontheLake]

Well, you have to wire the camper lights etc and make sure there are fuses for them. But after that the negative and positive from the battery connect to the trailer 12 volt devices.

Thanks for the very helpful video. Have you considered having a solar capability? I would like a similar set up but with the option to use a portable solar panel on the ground to charge the battery. Would that be compatible with your charger?

[@CraftsmanontheLake]

Yes, I've considered it. Since our power needs are meager the unit will run our camper up to 7 days. Even when we take long weeks long trips we can usually plug in before that time at a campground. And we have a small propane/gas generator if we need to. Solar would be nice but for me it would just be a interesting project but not really needed. The charger is ac to dc. A solar system would need a solar charger, a dc-dc charger.

@@CraftsmanontheLake, thank you!

[@birdlady2725]

That will be nice to have I bet!

[@CraftsmanontheLake]

Yes, It also has bluetooth connectivity so I can monitor the charge rate and it's charge history. Camping tomorrow...
