[@flyfisher530]

Nice video Greg, looks like a nice addition for hot weather! 👍

[@TrailNewbie]

Thanks Mike! I’m thinking it will be put to use in Bend Oregon at OXPNW!! 😀😀👏🏻

[@Justjeepingadventures]

Plan to get a unit and this seems to be a decent one. Heater winter, ac summer! Great video!

[@TrailNewbie]

Thanks! 🙏🏼 ya, I’ll be taking it out for a few days at Overland Expo PNW and I know I’ll need it in the evenings! 👊🏼 Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it!🙌🏼🙏🏼👊🏼😃

[@SJVH1]

Impressive build on the diesel heater. Very nice!

[@TrailNewbie]

Thanks! Ya, it’s a solid build for sure! Let me know if you need any contacts to build one. 😊 Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it!🙌🏼🙏🏼👊🏼😃

Heading to Bald Mountain tomorrow to beat the heat. We only live 30 minutes away. Snow was too deep a few weeks ago. Should be good now!

[@TrailNewbie]

Right on! Ya, I was up there last week, though the Tamarack entrance, there is some decent snow on the shady parts of the trail. But passable with high clearance, you’ll be good! Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it!🙌🏼🙏🏼👊🏼😃

[@awdgsx415]

Great video Greg!!! I'm trying to think the last time I was out where it was really hot. A/C ideal is cool but maybe I'll wait till they come out with a case version 😅. I'll be honest that diesel heater is definitely high quality!! My cheap diesel heater hasn't failed me yet but who knows. It's hit or miss honestly. My buddy has been using his for 4 years no issues. But the same model for his brother has failed twice within 6 months. So I could see why you'd want to make one with high quality parts.

[@TrailNewbie]

Right on! Ya, the AC is definitely a luxury item for sure. I plan on putting it to the test this summer and seeing if/how it really helps! Thanks for being one of the most consistent viewers bro! Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it!🙌🏼🙏🏼👊🏼😃

[@ericbartok8259]

And really love that zero breeze

[@TrailNewbie]

Ya man, it’s such a luxury item. Well worth it if you get out camping a lot in the summer. 🙌🏼👏🏻👊🏼😀

[@LetsG0Champ]

what are the average nightly temps where you are camping? Any medical conditions?

[@TrailNewbie]

It varies. In the Summer if I get to high elevation - high 60’s. Desert and lower its 80’s-90’s. No medical conditions - that I’m aware of 😅

[@joshuawadsworth5050]

Greg, do you know, or did you test the battery life, for expected usage? Great video and thanks!!!!

[@TrailNewbie]

It’s my understanding that with the Zero Breeze battery that I showcased in the video (which is around 850wh) that it can run on rocket mode for 3 hours and lower settings for 8 hours. With this battery included, when I travel I have around 3,500wh in my rig. Couple that with solar and charging from the vehicle, and I’m hopeful that I’ll have sufficient battery power to run the Zero Breeze for multiple nights. 😁 Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it!🙌🏼🙏🏼👊🏼😃

[@t.o.f.t.s.]

Greg, how long does the zero breeze battery last?

[@TrailNewbie]

Great question! On the rocket mode, the Zero Breeze batter will last 3 hours of continuous cold. On a lower setting I’m told that it will run for up to 8 hours. My plan is actually to use this in conjunction with my 1,500wh VTOMAN battery which should give me around double that. I’ll still bring the Zero Breeze battery with me for 1 nighters, but multiple nights I’ll be using a different battery system. 😃 Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it!🙌🏼🙏🏼👊🏼😃

[@ericbartok8259]

Man I love that canopy.

[@TrailNewbie]

Ya man, it’s been so nice to have! I would have been super hot out there in the direct sun ☀️ without it. Hope you’re doing awesome! 👏🏻 Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it!🙌🏼🙏🏼👊🏼😃

[@redbeastadventures]

Nice gear.

[@TrailNewbie]

Thanks! It’s definitely a luxury item - but can really be a major help when temps are horrible. Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it!🙌🏼🙏🏼👊🏼😃

[@KirbyLouis]

dont see them much cuz in ca/"the west"; you know it doesnt always stay hot enough at night in the mountains or desert to need AC, usually never more than 70 at night...just crack open a tent flap or roll your window down a bit and these things are just cumbersome and too much going on, that zero breeze is kind of obnoxious, not many really want a boombox sized ac unit in their roof tent, a big ground tent, maybe

[@TrailNewbie]

Ya, you make a good point. If you get high enough in elevation in the west you don’t really need at night. I have some desert trips planned for the summer. I can’t wait to see how it performs when the nighttime temps are in the high 80s or low 90s. Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it!🙌🏼🙏🏼👊🏼😃

[@davidk6668]

I don’t see how anyone can charge the batteries up day after day unless you plug it in or use generator.

[@TrailNewbie]

Ya, good point. The battery can be charged off of solar, and/or off of vehicle while driving. Indeed, with this, you will need to be very cautious with your battery consumption. Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it!🙌🏼🙏🏼👊🏼😃

[@ToddGodfrey]

How long through the night does the ac Unit last?

[@TrailNewbie]

@@ToddGodfrey great question. 3 hours on Rocket Mode. And 8 on low. This is with the battery they sell. But you can also use any other larger power station and get much more time out of it. 😀

[@michaelsteel5177]

Looks like Big Bear.

[@TrailNewbie]

No, it’s not Big Bear. It’s up near Sierra National Forest. 😊 Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it!🙌🏼🙏🏼👊🏼😃

[@DaHoodScientist]

No more sticking to your sleeping pad!

[@TrailNewbie]

Hahahah! Now that is a great point!! 🥵 you’ll be nice and cold 🥶 Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it!🙌🏼🙏🏼👊🏼😃

[@Mousica_J]

Absolutely! Sleeping in a tent during summer feels like sleeping on the hood of a car right after the engine has been turned off. 🥵

[@im2lost]

What's up with overlanders? All this is getting out of hand, AC, Toaster, Microwaves, Blenders, Toaster Ovens, Fridges, Espresso Machines, Heaters and Battery Packs. Taking everything away from camping that makes it great.🤦🏿‍♂️

[@TrailNewbie]

Ya, you make a good point for sure. Something to think about here 100%. Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it!🙌🏼🙏🏼👊🏼😃

[@nelsonisaula144]

zero Breeze is garbage don't waste your money

[@TrailNewbie]

Bummer! Did you buy one that didn’t work well for you? 🥲

[@karenlin800]

So many bad reviews complain that this thing won't cool down your whole car. Some folks even skip connecting the hoses right! The real kicker? The BTU output (which they show on their website) is 2300 BTU. A little digging online would show you this thing is really meant for spot-cooling in the sun or keeping your bed area a bit cooler at night.
