- HeyGuys this clip here is about my new step up converter that I bought for my travel buddy oven I bought it off line on eBay for $69 I seen Rob had one last time I went camping with him and he was telling me it keeps a constant voltage even when you’re not driving your car so I thought I’d get one and give it ago seems pretty good I’ll let you know more in the future thanks for watching catch on the next one cheers 
They’re brilliant! Had mine for 5 months now and I’ve used it heaps. Extremely beneficial if you’ve agm batteries as the Travel Buddy won’t even get warm without the step up converter (with the engine off).
Great clip Stephen… yes I have 3 with my set up. 1 mounted on the floor of the passenger seat with the
Without a doubt, these little ovens are grouse, which ever brand you buy, and this upgrade is a good improvement for sure.
One of the few modifications I have not done yet is a step up for the travel buddy thanks Stev for the video see you next time.🇭🇲
Glad I've seen this. I brought the Small Travel Buddy last week, mounted it into my shelving of My Canopy Thursday, but haven't got as far as permanently wiring it up as yet, I also purchased a Lithium Battery emailers this evening, and after watching this a DC Step-up Converter also, so once the Lithium Battery arrives, I'll install the Battery and adjust my wiring loom and permanently hook up the Travel Buddy via the DC Step-up Converter under my Canopy.
Thanks for your video it explains it all. Yesterday I cooked a roast beef in my classic travel oven. It normally takes 6 hours to cook. However, I used the step up converter for the first time yesterday and cooked the beef for six hours, unfortunately the outside shell of the beef was very hard and overlooked. I normally put the beef in an oven bag. So next time I will cook the beef for 4.5 hours. So as you said the step up converter is worth having.
Great video Steve. I had heard of these voltage converters, but never looked into them. Very interesting to know just how much of a difference that made. Also you reminded me I must buy a fire extinguisher for our camper. Cheers and thanks.
They are a great addition Steve. I put one on my travel buddy after seeing another review about a year ago. Definitely makes a difference. Lithium upgrade next.👍
Great video mate! Been looking at getting a Travel Buddy for a long time now... Will have to add this to the shopping list too! It's a no brainer buying the step up converter! Nice work mate 👍
I did some testing today on my new Rough Country travel oven. I found the element was about 1.6ohms using a four-wire resistance test (no wire leads or fuse included), and using the figures from the 60V/100A power meter is was about 1.7ohms (including wiring, fuse and the power meter itself). I ran with a 135Ah battery only, which dropped to around 12.05V with a current of 7.2A and power of 86W. I then added a 4A battery charger where the battery settled under load to 13.98V with a current of 8.1A and power of 113W. Lastly, I put two small motorcycle AGMs in series and it was running about 22.3V under load with a current of 12.8A and power of 285W(!). I cooked a couple of pies that way. I thought it might go "pop" and let the smoke out, but it went fine...for now. Cabling was a little warm ;-) This was done on a concrete floor, not in-vehicle. I'm not staying with such a high voltage. It was just for fun.
Hi Steve…..that looks like a good quality product…..they’ve taken a lot of care with their wiring on that converter…..
I might look into that myself. Cheers Steve
Measuring on the side internal wall will give you a better indication of oven temp as the element is located on the bottom so your experiment may be a little flawed. You should also try the 15v step up it works even better, I've tried both on my TB marine and the difference is better again. Enjoying the great content keep it up
best location is under drivers seat on bracket and under passenger seat. If you are trapped by your legs in drivers seat you can access and use fire extinguisher. Same for your passenger. SWM have a step up/step down DC converter too. Same same, great addition to TB.
That’s made a big difference
Have a fire extinguisher in my car and also everything is fused. 100A breaker on the batteries and everything from there has a fuse in the extra fuse block.
Hi love your video I wonder where did you purchase this product from? Could you please give me the link thank you
I put our food in and cook the area is less to heat 🤔 like trying to cool a empty fridge , 120 minutes our snags/ chops are done no pre heat , roast 2 1/2 hours it’s a roadchef and about 6 amps, l like your videos 👍🏼👍🏼and have you tried the amp meter between the step up and the supply to see if it is pulling the same amps ? Pete .
Good idea mate
It took only 3.5 ah to get it on to 165C the second time
