Cracking rig I’m running a 90 for full time trying Australia I love it

Timely video as currently (no pun intended) I am at the very early stages of how to power a fridge in similar circumstances. Thanks.

Love your vids, but a big Question looking back at your Toyota Van Conversion how did you insure it as most ( if not all insurance companies) will not insure your van unless it is professionally converted) how did you get atound that , cheers and keep these vids comin' very informative and inspirational

[@kailangeveldt2773]

Very good, informative video. Can you tell me what compressor you are using?

[@FreedomInMindtv]

It’s an xtm brand compressor but it’s probably from the same factory as many of the other cheap compressors. Works fine though

Advice needed please. I am a newbie with solar and these portable power stations. We are doing a two month long camping trip using a van where we will be basically living out of it without ever using any kind of shore power. We live in Idaho and will be traveling into the backcountry of BC, Canada on this trip. I bought a 12V portable fridge and a Acopower 100W 12V monocrystalline solar panel. I only have room on the roof for one 100W solar panel because I have 2 cargo boxes. Just ordered a BLUETTI EB55 Portable Power Station 537Wh. We drive a lot, at least a little bit each day. We don’t plan on using the battery for anything other than the fridge, as we have a generator for powering everything else. Any help would really be helpful. This newbie would really appreciate any ideas/input!

Hey mate, I got the same fridge and same xtm box. I've bought a 120Amp deep cycle battery. Can I plug the solar straight to the battery? Via anderson plug ? To keep my fridge going 24/7? Solar is 150W

[@gregsheridan]

Curious what the Voc rating is for your solar panel. I have a CTEK as well and intended to use the Solar input but it has a Voc limit of 23V. Many panels are rated close or over this at 25 celsius and I live in Canada, so see colder temps where the Voc will be even higher. I inquired and was told by CTEK that this would damage the D250 solar input. Do you know of this limitation?

[@jasonaziz9171]

How do you find running your compressor off the AGM? Has the battery performance degraded at all?

[@FreedomInMindtv]

I generally don’t. I run an extension lead to the starter battery. I just have the option of using the agm as a backup. I’ll use it if I’m just pumping up a basketball or something though with no issues 👍🏻

[@helenebettschart3349]

☺️ nice

[@FreedomInMindtv]

Thanks! 😁

Is it dangerous when you leave the vehicle in the sun because the car might heat up with all the windows closed?

[@zarand2554]

You're an adorable man.

[@AndyMcBlane]

Lithium would probably not be a great option for a sealed car in the sun. Max charge temp is typically around 45 deg C, with typically an upper limit of temperature being ~60 deg C. Obviously depends on climate

[@FreedomInMindtv]

Yea I wasn’t sure about lithium. I’m not experienced with it. Cheers mate 👍🏻

[@AndyMcBlane]

@@FreedomInMindtv LifePO4 might be different, but considering how hot vehicles in Australia can get, I wouldn't be comfortable
