Truck Camper Electrical System

[@mikelabree]

Simple explanation because I don’t know anything about electricity needs. Glad I found your channel.

[@HeyJonMoore]

I’m glad you found it too! Thanks for the comments and support 🤙

Great idea, but mine after a few uses will not charge. Dakota 10a charger that’s in the box, battery reads 14.2v when plugged in but as soon as charger is unplugged it drops to .15v. Will not “wake up” Dakota won’t help me out because my cousin bought it and I’m the second owner. Again, used 2-3 times to power camera and cell battery and run light at camp sight, stored in doors and maybe 1-1/2 years old. Could just buy new iPhone instead of charging for the $2000.00 price tag.

[@HeyJonMoore]

Dang! Thats a huge bummer. Mine has been rock solid so far. Hope you’re able to get something sorted out there

[@WayawayAdventures]

I like how simple you make it. I'm planning my camper right now.

[@HeyJonMoore]

Right on! Let me know if you have any questions come up 👍

[@WayawayAdventures]

@@HeyJonMoore thanks man. I pick up my camper this time next month, and I popped for a small Bluetti. My plan is to keep it behind the seat in my F150 and charge it off the pickup while I drive. Like you, I have really low power needs. Up until now, I was simply using power bricks to charge my phone at night and all my GoPro batteries.

[@HeyJonMoore]

@@WayawayAdventures Nice! Yeah being able to charge off the cigarette outlet while driving is clutch. I was even thinking of adding a DC to DC charger to my set up so I could charge off the alternator. We'll see what happens.

Consider the Licitti 280ah Lifepo4 battery Cells for 2000W AC Battery Box for $946.Twice size inverter (2000 w) and twice the size battery capacity (280ah) for $300 less

[@HeyJonMoore]

Looking into this now. Thanks for the note 👍

[@gregvanwyhe6181]

Jon - love your videos. Where did you get the bug screen for the back of the camper/truck bed? Thanks.

[@HeyJonMoore]

Thanks brother! It was custom job from a from a friend who does professional upholstery. I’ll make a video on it soon. I’ve had a few folks ask about it.

[@allgonewrong16]

How is the diesel heater powered? Does it plug into cigarette lighter?

[@HeyJonMoore]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5fGpJxnr8mMaa8si=s8b58xeIv71hhj2r Check out this video. I talk about how it’s wired in there. It’s probably more helpful than writing it. It’s hooked up to a fuse box and then the battery

[@susans8539]

I liked it, liked it! 😊 power setup looks quite simple.

[@HeyJonMoore]

Haha thank you!

[@allgonewrong16]

I am new to these types of battery systems. Is it possible to charge the battery from your car while driving like you would with a power station?

[@HeyJonMoore]

Great question, Yes you can charge it via DC to DC converter but I don’t have mine hooked up like that yet. www.renogy.com/blog/what-does-a-dc-to-dc-battery-charger-do/?Rng_ads=0f65f8eb00fbadd1&kw=&ad=&gr=&ca=16522630312&pl=ga&gclid=Cj0KCQiAi_G5BhDXARIsAN5SX7oxrfliUwimd47dTSOP6wM6VKfN_k3mw_T3xy3nrQ6-V-Fp32aOCy8aAkNlEALw_wcB&r_u_id=9188094281&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADrlcl4-1fFXoieXgmL9aCIu-_N2a

[@prolificnorthwest]

Great video! Really enjoying these. That looks like a great setup. Cheers!

[@HeyJonMoore]

Thank you! I appreciate the support

[@AdventureDaily]

Nice setup! Enjoying the channel, where do you get your music from?

[@HeyJonMoore]

I use Epidemic Sound. Great selection on there

[@bw2314]

Yeti fridge link?

[@HeyJonMoore]

Hey there I had a Yeti Tundra 65 but I swapped it out for a 12V fridge (not Yeti brand) that I’m testing right now. I should have a video out on the 12V option shortly. Want to make sure I don’t have any issues with it first

[@Crazylab1616]

Cool I can't wait to see what fridge you use... ❤

[@ParkingLotSouvenir]

Would love to know how you rigged up the bug netting. I need to do that on mine and have been worried it will get in the way. Do you have a way to fold it up out the way at all?

[@HeyJonMoore]

It’s a game changer! I have mine attached with Velcro so it’s easy to put up and take down. I can still close everything up with it installed though.

[@ParkingLotSouvenir]

@@HeyJonMoore Love it! Also big fan of how chill and straight forward your videos are.

[@HeyJonMoore]

@@ParkingLotSouvenir Thanks Dan!

[@JonCancellier]

@@HeyJonMoore Any more details on it? Was it a pre-fab one? Or did you make it yourself? Would love to have a bug screen setup like that for my OVRLND Camper

[@HeyJonMoore]

@@JonCancellier Hey Jon, it was a custom job. I had a friend at my last job who was doing high end upholstery. He hooked it up for me. Sorry, he requested that I not send out his info.
