    You guys are just soo awesome! I thought the bird was a toy until I saw it's head move! haha..Great van too! I like the smaller, round vent as an option although I plan to use it as an extra powered vent to run along side the Fantastic type fan...one in one out..makes for great circulation...Thanks for all the ideas!! Safe travels to you from a new sub down in Tampa,FL!

    I was wondering what exact connectors did you get for the solar panel to connect to your yeti battery? you mentioned an MC4 cable. which exact cable and connectors did you get from goal zero and did you get any other extra connectors online to connect the panel to the battery?
    this is a situation I am having problems figuring out. I have the Yeti 400 lithium so I need to purchase the panel and the connectors next.
    thanks btw the bird is soooo cute!

    • @RMTravels
      @RMTravels  5 років тому

      I bought a 100 watts solar panel that comes with the negative and positive cord included or attached to the panel, then I called goal zero and purchased the MC4 cable which is a wire that has a Y shape that attaches one leg to the positive and the other to the negative of the solar and the last wire attaches to the goal zero. I couldn't find it online when I purchased the goal zero it was sold out on amazon and it was not advertised on goal zeros website eather. But if you call they will provide you one. It's a real easy set up and Dimas the bird is our best friend 😁. Good luck on your build, any other questions give us a shout 🙌

    • @RMTravels
      @RMTravels  4 роки тому +1

      Hi Samuel, thank you! we would fill up a one gallon water bottle in local bathrooms or wherever we could find water through out the trip then pour it in the tube. A lot of gas stations also have a water spout near the tire pump machine that we would use to fill it as well. I think they have it there in case your car overheated or something.
