@@AussieVanMan My pleasure♥️💖

[@NomadicPride]

That nearly doubles your electrical storage capacity....nice upgrade!! And a perfect companion to that new AC unit. Your summer's gonna rock!

[@AussieVanMan]

Yes summer will be the test but I’m hopeful this will be my answer

[@richardthomas1743]

Good morning Brock. That was a tight place to get at , plus trying to film what you was doing. It appears that everything is working! I hope that all is good for you , happy Sunday!

[@AussieVanMan]

Yes so far so good I will continue to monitor it but it’s look great so far

[@sheilacaine]

Good luck with everything.

[@ronnyfoulk1858]

Enjoyed your adventure in the van with the batteries and sorry about the knee. Hope all goes well and the pain goes away. Good luck!!!

[@AussieVanMan]

Knees healing slowly ! Thankyou batteries are working great so far

[@vontrohs]

Hope your knee heals fast!!!

[@AussieVanMan]

It’s feeling a bit better now not quite there yet

[@martna1]

Praying you get out with no problems.

[@k8barkley]

Lookin like a great job done well; congratulations!!!! Sorry about your knee. Hope its much better now. If not, you might want to get it checked out; joints are tricky. Thanks for the great helpful content❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@AussieVanMan]

Thanks yes my knees healing I don’t think I tore anything

[@k8k9vanlifeplus]

@@AussieVanManHope you dont mind, just alittle life experience here. I m 67 n have had knee problems n surgery so…. I suggest you consume as much garlic n onions as possible as well as ginger n honey to keep inflammation down. Increasing vitamins C, D, E, fish oil n magnesium will also help. I do things the herbal n nutritional way, lol. Thereis more you could do like eat as much oregano n thyme as you can with your pasta n ramen. ❤❤❤

[@k8k9vanlifeplus]

I subscribed to your friends @thatrvoverthere n it looks like they just put out a new video today, so YAY!! Good to see you keeping up with winterisblu like I do😂❤❤❤

[@AussieVanMan]

Yes they are good friends Hah yes I’ve been watching his new van build excited for his new van with more space

[@ECONOTANKCommander]

Tim the toolman Taylor was right 'MORE POWER!". I HAVE 4 L16 AGM batteries for a total 760aH. I thought it was insane but it is great! Pushes 3000 watt Renogy inverter perfectly. Do you have a high output alternator? Good job Sir

[@AussieVanMan]

I actually do have a high output alternator but haven’t hooked it up to a charger to the batteries yet but yes I’m very impressed so far with the extra power

[@jamesyahn]

Electrical is the one thing I didn’t want to skimp out on as far as wires and components go. I only have 230ah so far but having a bus bar was a must for me in my set up. I am super curious how well your AC runs and what the power draws are. I get so hot so easy and I am currently cooking in my van in 80+ degree weather.

[@k8k9vanlifeplus]

I would like to know that as well. I rely on battery operated fans n cooling cloths😂

[@jamesyahn]

@@k8k9vanlifeplus This is the first time I bought a cooling towel and now I see why they are so popular. I definitely need to buy a few of them since they are cheap. I have a max air fan and I just bought a 200cfm 12v fan that is amazing. My econoline is a dark green and has all of the windows so it gets insanely hot.

[@k8k9vanlifeplus]

@@jamesyahn I bet it does. Dog n I park in shade as much as possible with the wind coming through n sometimes just picnic on a blanket in the shade at a park. I even use a larger cooling cloth draped over my produce for evaporated cooling. Not bad except on more humid days. I do love live love my Ryobi fans though; the larger battery will go for 10 hrs on low for the larger fan. I’m not sure about the smaller clip on one since I just recently got it. Take goodcare n stay cool

[@jamesyahn]

@@k8k9vanlifeplus I just noticed that you are from Ohio as well so you know the temperatures in Ohio are frustrating. 80s+ for 3 days and then cooling off for a while. I definitely plan to spend more time outside of the van this year or I may do like I did last year and head up to Michigan. In Michigan it was 10 degrees cooler than Ohio and I spent a lot of time right on the water. Hopefully after this summer I will be able to add a 12v air conditioner. I almost bought one of those Ryobi fans until I looked at the CFM they produce and realized you can get better for cheaper. If you rely on the battery, then that makes sense. Luckily I spent last summer with a power station and now I just built a full battery bank. Power station is a must for sure!

[@k8k9vanlifeplus]

@@jamesyahn Excellent!! I d go up to Michigan if I was able. Right now, I gutting the van to scrub it down, do a few repairs while it empy before redoing the interior n reducing my storage unit to go down a size since it has gone up by 103% in two years. It will probably take all Summer just with doing the labor of it in the mornings when its cooler. Best of luck to you n enjoy yourself😎

[@EllieAussie..]

You've changed mate, now you're just power mad 🔌🦘

[@AussieVanMan]

Haha yes moreeee! I hope this will be enough
