    The latest on keeping your LiFePO4 lithium batteries alive for their longest time is to only charge them between 40% to 80 or 90%, so I just use a standard Iota battery charger, and charge my 100 amp hour to 14.2 volts most of the time. I can charge it to 14.6 volts if I want, but I'm experimenting with the lower voltage idea. With a lead acid battery, you could always charge it fully at a lower voltage of say 13.8 volts, but it would just take longer. I think lithium batteries are similar.

    I absolutely love all your wonderful suggestions for your TAB 320! I just bought a 2015 TAB 320S, and would love to be able to not depend on shore power and a lead acid battery. Can you use your "loveable lu" in the bathroom itself? I've also been interested in finding a way to avoid filling up the black tank. How did you fasten your flexible solar panels? Would you have a link for those nice solar panels?

    @JD-xo3xz Місяць тому

    Nice upgrades. Just a suggestion if you have not replaced the vent fan with a 10 speed Maxxair. On the lower settings you can hardly hear it, and uses very little battery power. The one that came with the 320 is so noisy even on the lowest setting. There is also a rain sensor that closes it auto. I would change it for peace and quiet. You will also need to upgrade your power/breaker panel to be lithium compatible otherwise you will get only about 80% charge to your house batteries since it was only meant to charge Gel, AGM, and Flooded. Just search for WFCO WF-8740-AD Converter/Charger W/ Distribution Center, 40A, Auto Detect, 6 Circuits. Cheers!

    Great video! I’m getting a 2023 tab 320 boondocks…had the same idea to use a bluetti AC180…and will drop a battle born lithium in front…wondering if the bluetti will top off the rv battery while it’s plugged into the 30amp receiver.

    • @myshoeboxadventures
      @myshoeboxadventures Місяць тому

    We have a 2019 320 that we Boondock in for several days at a time too. With a few modifications for off road, we can get to very remote locations. We utilize a portable Zamp 95w solar panel which allows us to place the trailer in the shade when available. We are both fortunate to have the 3-way refrigerators that we can run on propane. BTW, Trailer manufactures like NDC (probably our next trailer) and XPlore mount solar above their roofs on a frame. Solar panels are far more efficient at dissipating heat with air rather then a roof directly below them. Keep enjoying the desert with your T@B !

    Love your upgrades! I have two 100ah lithium batteries in my 2022 Tab 320s, too. I’ve never ran the batteries out! I also have a jackery 500w and an additional 100w solar panel. Powering the a/c without being plugged in is a mod for future technology. Happy camping.

    Hey ... how long does a butane bottle last? On low probably

    • @myshoeboxadventures
      @myshoeboxadventures 2 місяці тому

      On high about 4hours, I’ve used mine at least 10 times to warm my camper and once to take a shower, it was cold and rainy outside, and I’m still using the original butane but keep in mind I never leave it on high. I need to do more testing but so far I’m glad I gambled and got it! Price seems to vary and ebay seems a little cheaper but if you want one shop around. I paid about $75 on Amazon. Hope this helps! Happy Camping 🏕️

    Are you talking about the camper converter? My understanding is most converters in rv’s are built for lead acid

    • @myshoeboxadventures
      @myshoeboxadventures 2 місяці тому

      Yes, older converters are built for lead acid but they will charge your lithium up to 75 to 80 %. If you have solar panels and the sun is out they will charge the rest of the way to 100 %. I changed out my converter to one which charges lithium to 100 % so I’m covered in most situations. Thanks for watching and Happy Camping 🏕️

    • @myshoeboxadventures
      @myshoeboxadventures 2 місяці тому

      Thanks for watching, great question. Wires went in just above the drivers side tail light. That is the side where the charge controller, fuse box, converter are located . I didn’t do the work myself, way above my skill level! Hope this helps, Happy Camping 🏕️

  • @kenastl
    @kenastl 2 місяці тому

    Great idea. I like the simplicity of how you handle the power needs. I assume when you plug in the Bluetti to your RV you would turn off the breaker to the RV's charger, so it doesn't drain it unnecessarily.

    • @myshoeboxadventures
      @myshoeboxadventures 2 місяці тому

      Thanks for watching and the great comment. When I killed my lead acid battery I tried the Bluetti trick to get out camping while I thought about what to do. I didn’t turn off any breakers and didn’t notice any large drain. Since I installed lithium & extra solar I only use the Bluetti when I need 110v to work in the camper. My solar is working so well my batteries are always full so again, no drain but now I want to try again when the batteries are not 100%. Thanks again, I will never stop learning, Happy Camping 🏕️
