Can you A/C a Camper Trailer - Ecoflow Wave

[@ryderrozon7115]

I am a 14 year old that loves to cook and I cook mostly every night for my family so winning your book would be awesome and I would use it a lot. So MATHS

[@Tom-lf8hx]

Mate, that is awesome!! What do you usually cook on the camp fire? Even if harry doesnt choose ya id pay for a book to be sent out 😊

[@ryderrozon7115]

@@Tom-lf8hx wow that’s so nice yeh we go camping quite a bit and so I usually just make curry’s, eggs and bacon, toased sandwiches popcorn and a whole buch more but even when not camping when I’m at home I make some soups and steaks. Thanks again

[@Tom-lf8hx]

@@ryderrozon7115 thats some epic meals for camping! Ive gotta try the popcorn ahaha forgot about that ahah, anytime mate 😊

[@rshenanigans]

I have had an EcoFlow Wave for about 5months, I did the maths and came up with the same solution that it can be used to keep a tent or camper cool if you have the right size batteries to run it . the EcoFlow was a Lifesaver over christmas holidays kept us nice and cool at night when we went to bed. we were the envy of the campgrounds

[@ExpeditionOverlanding]

Make no apologies, my friend! I run a Zero Breeze MkII which I bought with 2 lithium batteries (about 6.5 hours run time on sleep mode per battery) for use in my OGT Expedition 2.0 and it's a bit of a game changer. In Texas, when it's 108F/42C outside during the day and never drops below 94F/34C at night, you need all the cooling you can get! Unlike a canopy set up, there are advantages to the hard shell in that once it's cooled down, it remains that way longer than a tent. Unfortunately that also means that it also stays warmer, too, taking longer to cool things down initially. The biggest thing to consider with portable AC units is the BTUs. The ZB MkII is only 2300, which is not exactly great when you consider the average car AC is 10,000 BTUs, so the performance is not as impressive in comparison.

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

People hate generators but they are the best long term way of running an air conditioner. It is hassle free and much cheaper to set up. We had a split system in one of our caravans and could run it on a 2kva. We lived in that van for months at a time so being comfortable was essential. Caravans don't have to be expensive. That one was just 10k second hand.

[@tbillington]

Agreed, and a Honda EU20 is basically silent when you're away from it. Much better than spending 10k on solar blankets, inverters and lithium batteries.

[@glenwilkie1331]

You are right there, people do hate the constant humming and fumes of generators and for good reason.

[@asicit6789]

People who use a generator within earshot of any other camper are the epitome of selfishness. Don’t be surprised if one day while on a day excursion you come back to camp and find your generator destroyed.

[@michaelhermans4753]

The heat is in the middle of the day, using a Honda with extension cord is unnoticeable at that time, it’s only annoying at night, I’ve done the Maths

[@rosskirkpatrick9531]

Enjoying your vids from Riyadh, KSA. Just finished having Mrs. Jang's Brekkie and watching your latest ep. Retiring next year🤞and now we are keeping track of all your recipes and tips. Nothing worse than sweating all night when even a sheet is too much and all u want to do is SLEEP! Right now we plan on going to Columbus, Ohio - looking at a Kimberly Kamper - seems like a good choice, but my husband talks about going to Australia, buying a camper, traveling around Australia, and shipping the camper home to USA! A lot of math involved in that! Hopefully, we will start seeing Cubs sold in the States. We'd like to see u come to the US and meet up withTrailRecon. Another great channel. Give Fred a pat for us. Thx Again for your great channel!

[@jag131990]

Oh dear Harry, we knew that camper trailer was a slippery slope, now one step closer to a caravan 😂. I see what you are doing there adding all the individual widgets on... Only kidding you deserve it mate, it's ok to be soft after hard yards earned. Plus you can always cook outside on a fire before retiring inside to your home on wheels ay & we will all still adore you

[@chrisbyrnes7625]

I loved maths while at school, learn’t to measure twice & cut once. It helps me navigate through the power consumption, draw on, solar recharge, and utilisation of my battery system. Thankyou Harry for putting this into perspective.

[@electrontube]

the scenery in the opening sequence is gorgeous. absolutely stunning woodline

[@RallyMichael75]

I am picking up a new camper trailer on the weekend so good to know someone else has done the "Maths" on what is needed it I want to look at getting some extra cooling if needed.

[@doddy03gu79]

Mate, those 12v "Maths" do my head in. Im glad it was you explaining and not me trying to work it out 😂 Top review Harry, nice job 👍

[@robwhite240z]

The prob with portable AC is all that hot air you blow out the window the camper has to draw the same amount of hot outside air in to replace the air. Try putting the AC outside in the shade and only blowing the cold air in with a vent hose.

[@davidbarnett4492]

That is a great set up to keep the kids cool so they sleep during the day when they need to, well done with the math's

[@aaronkerr6942]

I'm amazed with your "maths" . As an electrician you're on the right track. If redarc do a stand, then you can follow the sun. The angle makes a massive difference to output of a panel. Also, as you mentioned, the size of the cable contributes to the output aswell (voltage drop). Love the videos mate and mostly love that you, your wife, child and future child are living their best lives. Good luck with all future endeavours and hope to meet you all on the road one day for an amazing camp fire feed cooked by myself. Work to live, don't live to work. ❤

[@darrensmith4661]

I have found fixed panels to be so much better than solar blankets. Recently did a test with 2 5yr old folding hard panels rated at 150w each. Wired in parallel. (Increases current supply but voltage is same as lowest panels). Results were fantastic. Enerdrive Pwm solar charger 30 amp, 120amp agm battery. Max oitput from each panel is 8.3amps. Highest recording was 15.5 amps at 4pm in Melbourne. Yes a very hot day for March but that was in full sun at that time, and glass was hot on both panels. Opps off topic a bit. Fixed panels allow the angle to the sun to be achieved a lot easier. If using solar blankets, need a way to create this angle. Remember, solar means always chasing the Sun.

[@greg174videos]

Top video Harry. You’ve nailed the ideal setup for your family 👍. I loved the way you did the Maths in your head 😃. Keep up the great work. We grabbed a copy of your book in BCF recently. It’s a top quality publication 🥇

[@Joestrugar]

Great video again Harry. I think you have to be using your Maths skills when camping.

[@thebutlerdownunder]

Love ya work mate. An ex accountant using Maths to calculate your efficiency. It’s great to see you still love counting beans 👍🏼👍🏼

[@YES-lu3sq]

Glad you did the MATHS on the cost at the end of the vid . So many variables in ways the air con could work in different set ups . In my jayco camper I love how much you can open it up and have airflow but think if air con is my next step might not be a off grid one

[@bellajess100]

Another great video Harry. Who cares how much it costs to keep your family healthy and happy. We are only on this Earth for a short time so make the most of it I say.

[@benjaminkemp7233]

Does the aircon go well with beer?

[@damianhingston6758]

Thanks for the review Harry and thanks for working out the maths for the the system. It will certainly make travelling with your family and working away a lot more comfortable.

[@nashtkhunt7643]

good thing you maths is on point, you google search on the other hand (2:35) has me asking some questions hahaha

[@danander2989]

I was alright at MATHS back at school. And I've crunched the numbers and if I scored a cook book to go with our new camper. I'd have more to spend on some nice knives to help cook something for the family

[@brendanross86]

I am certainly doing the "Maths" on this for my OP4 Camper, great video, Thanks

[@sirstevo]

Love any show that goes through and shares the maths for you.

[@looksea2me]

Love the practical "Maths" of the system. Well done with the setup.

[@markokane5783]

Thanks for the info Harry. The maths definitely work if your kids can get to have a good day sleep. That is priceless.

[@brendanross7681]

Good "Maths" on the go there under pressure while filming. I can tell you were a GREAT accountant once upon a time :) Better at Bush Cooking now though. I could be a better Bush Cook... That's why I need your book :)

[@NN-hn5ot]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It’s great learning from genuine people. Keep nutting out the Maths

[@Outbackuber]

The Johnson family loved to go camping. They would pack up their car with all of their camping gear and head out to the woods. One of their favorite things to do was to cook over an open fire. They would roast hot dogs and marshmallows and make s'mores. One day, they decided to make chili for dinner. They had brought all of the ingredients with them, but they realized that they had forgotten their measuring cups and spoons. They didn't want to drive all the way back into town to get them, so they had to figure out how to measure everything without them. They decided to use math! They knew that there were 16 tablespoons in a cup, so they used that as a guide. They also knew that there were 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon, so they used that as well. They were able to make the chili perfectly and it was delicious! They all sat around the fire and enjoyed their meal together.

[@gabriellewilkinson816]

Thanks for doing the maths Harry. Love our Saturday morning ritual ❤

[@EvolveAuto]

@Fire to Fork Its pronounced the second way you said in the video. Minlaton is a town on the Yorke Peninsula, about 3hours from the CBD.

[@scottrodgers3934]

Great video Harry. Like the way you did your MATHS ➕➖➗✖️and used a combination of fans and a/c.

[@Luke-mu1wn]

The biggest change I did for our canvas camper was to string a big tarp up over the top. It takes about 30 mins to do but only requires a heavy duty tarp and some poles. Massive difference inside the camper in winter and summer. Plus I have an instant awning that everyone can sit under. Simple maths it makes sense to go the tarp.

[@brentanpartridge7524]

Great video mate, if it works for your family who cares about the price. Your out there making memories. Well done Maths

[@George-cm8in]

The MATHS you used in this video were spot on and id love to have a system like your redarc to be able to run something like this in the heat of the day.meanwhile ill just keep watching your videos on cooking and camping ;-)

[@darrenjones5885]

Ironically I watched this after insulating the back of the driver’s door card in a van I’m working on for a trip inside the Arctic Circle in the winter. I’ll be insulating the back of the door skin as well. I’m hoping to slow down the rate at which the doors lose heat.

[@Adventurebreeze]

Love some quick maths and a top noch vid from Harry to start the weekend. No doubt, if I had the money I would definitely take aircon camping in summer 🌬❄😎

[@abrahamiqbal100]

[@higirl7564]

Have your book, Loved the video, only thing is you didn’t mention the temperature it got down to… The whole point of buying one of these things is knowing what the temp is without and then with. Been searching for the right aircon to buy for NT Heat and struggling to find anything suitable..

[@marilynramsay9868]

Informative video, thank you, love your Maths. Will look into blanket and aircon as we discovered inside our new Brumby very very hot at Easter

[@johnchambers6272]

Maths is something I'm not great at. Great that you calculated that out for us. This has been a very helpful video showing the pitfalls and options for cooling a canvas camper. Currently looking around and the Cub Frontier or Scout are the top of the list. Thank you for sharing. Now subscribed.

[@stephenburford54]

Interesting food for thought, need to do the maths on that myself.

[@Banjo1754]

Harry, Maths works out 'what you can afford' ... It is always good to see what the other end of town is using ... Good Work ...

[@tonyboseski4395]

MATHS. Great calculations Harry, you need to know your maths to get it working the way you want it to. Job well done.

[@pieterscott792]

Hi Harry, Once again a great clip and very informative, I continue to do the Maths when using my solar blanket as well and the variables are endless. But I have found that tipping the solar blanket towards the sun or hanging it on the side of the car helps maybe you could hand a panel on the side of the camper and block some of the sun but also use it as well. Safe travels and stay happy :-) Cheers Pieter

[@RoyGreen-x2j]

Thanks for the air con demo explained well. Maths

[@peterandkaryn9843]

I love your “Maths” in working out your solar capacity

[@Al1978Newman]

Me and my Cub Drifter keep coming unstuck with the Electrics and the Maths around whether I have enough. I'm using an Adventure Kings 200w Blanket and the most I've ever had out of it was 80W (even in Summer with correct angle, etc). Anyhow. on we go. Thanks Harry.

[@moc61]

Another great video, love it. Your maths is pretty good too

[@colinwhiting5410]

As always Harry great review never to old or to smart to not learn something from someone 👍👍👍 Cheers Wombat 🐾Love your work

[@stum9813]

Good video but not sure I agree with the effectiveness of AC in the middle of a hot day in full sun in a camper. I installed a Truma Saphir in our Drifter and if we can get the camper sides shaded by trees etc its awesome. But even with the Minlaton blanket, if its in full sun, the AC has no hope of keeping up except when the sun is directly overhead. Temps rise to unusable levels, no doubt the extra canvas on the Drifter makes it worse though. To put out toddler down for a nap we have to direct the AC directly onto them, which is similar to what you are doing with the ecoflow pointing into the sleeping area, the rest of the camper is a no-go zone (which keeps the 7 year old out....). I still think its worth it for us while we are living in the Pilbara, just not sure its as good as your video makes out.

[@TyFenwick]

I can vouch for the Ecoflow wave in the swag 😂🤙🏼 works mint !

Why noy try a portable evaporative cooler? Low cost, low current draw, and more compact. I'd be interested in a comparison.

[@jonathanmcdonald1101]

Limiting factor of the 600w solar blankets, your Redarc BMS can only do 30amp charging, so anything above 400w is wasted

[@firetofork]

But it didn’t reach 30A

[@stevesmith3556]

Running 600+ of panels and keeping up 85% is great! I bet if you had a couple 300w with kickstands you could make up all the power.
