I keep boxed cold brew from Amazon for emergencies or rainy mornings when I can’t use my butane stove to heat water. Not great, but satisfies my caffeine addiction.
oh yes, I forgot about store bought! I'm such a snob though hahaha I guess I have to find one that I like, like a child- I cannot bring myself to consume things I find nasty :'(
I don’t know if you will see this but if you make a cover for your fridge out of Reflectix, but make sure you leave a hole for the fan, it will help keep it cooler and run less and more efficient.
Madison, my dc fridge uses about 30 amp hours per 24 hours at 70 degrees. That’s 360 watts. So your 500 watt power station should be fine for 24 hours without charging. So I’d say that with your solar panel charging it you should be fine unless you get several days of cloudy weather with no driving.
you're right! my fridge only takes 40% of the power for the nights and charges back up to anywhere over 70% during the day. just the worst case sincero plays in my head always 🙃
@@madisonraetogo if your desperate you can idle your van for a while to get some charge. Is you power station to carry into a cafe and charge it there for a while. Some of them charge a lot faster on ac over dc.
Your coffee conundrum might be solved with a French Press Coffee kettle. Boil water, pour in carafe and add coffee. I think that model Van has a 120 volt outlet next to the door. Look in your owners manual to see.
I just thought about you yesterday or the day before and thinking how I hadn’t seen anything posted by you for a while. I am happy to see you back online. I’m glad you hammered one out. LOL I will also go to your channel to see if they had missed anything that just didn’t come up my way to see it. But I’m looking forward to all these new videos coming up.
I have a 500w Jackery and a DC fridge similar to yours. It will run the fridge for days. It has run mine for days, without recharging, plus it runs my CPAP.
Dope I got recommended one of your old a$$ videos lol so glad I went to your channel and saw your new video, and you have the same van as me. 🤙🏾 SUBSCRIBED!
Ever heard of Thermos!!!?😁 If you have a full thermos with hot water ready before going to sleep, you can make coffee without the hassles that you mentioned!😉 Love watching your video!😍

Couldn’t stop laughing when you tasted your cold brew 😂 Love your humor!
Thank you!

@@larryhunter8245 yessss thats what I did normally in NYC last year! much fast er that way
@@madisonraetogo you can also get 12 volt immersion heaters and mini kettles. They take longer to boil water but they do it!

Sweet
I'm building out my van to live in the city too (once i return from a cross country trip though) so it's good to see others doing that too.
Happy days!🎉

Good to hear from you too! I had some life to live so I felt like not being online, but now I am fully back! yay!
