    • @KenjiFox
      @KenjiFox 3 місяці тому +1

      @@QuietNerd That's a high end battery. It will almost certainly have low and high voltage protection, as well as low and high temperature protections in the BMS. If it doesn't have low temp cutoff for the charging mosfets, just put some nice insulation around the battery in your box. The battery will generate lots of warmth when under load, and has lots of thermal mass. The charge controller should have low temp charge protection with a built in temp sensor too in that case.
      Use flexible solar panels as they weigh like 20% of a glass and metal rigid one. MPPT would be highly valuable since the panels will be fixed angle.

    Some friendly advice, from a joiner (Carpenter to the other side of the pond folks 😂) while there was nothing specifically wrong with the build - for the walls, I'd recommend weatherboards, they're manufactured with tongue and groves to click together seamlessly this means that water doesn't get into the joins between your wall and runs down the side and off your vehicle. Water sitting in those gaps will rot it quickly.

    • @frundlemud
      @frundlemud 4 місяці тому +5

      Butt joints shrink and as you said are not weatherproof also may become draughty. The basic idea is good.

    • @ElectricBillAlbright
      @ElectricBillAlbright 4 місяці тому +7

      Going on that idea, I was thinking of those simulated wood flooring planks. They have a rather precision tongue and groove that "clicks" into position. You could apply a small bead of silicone sealant across the groove just before installing them. Using these, I thought it would be less weight. One time, a friend had given me a few boxes of them left over from a remodeling. I used them to panel the inside walls of an old travel trailer that I use as a tool shed / workshop. An air nailer with slight head brads works great for attaching them without much noticing of the fasteners. 👍👍👍

      He shouldn't need to redo the whole thing for that, he just needs to seal it better and he can do that by adding siding to it then I would go ahead and seal the inside with some insulation panels and then painted over with some light brown paint to match the inside wood. There's no reason he can't still use what he already has but there is always room for improvement.

    Your camper content is incredibly refreshing. I'm so used to seeing $100k sprinter van conversions get so much attention for camping, they almost make it seem essential. My suggestion would be solar panels on each side of the roof if needing the extra power. Maybe instead of tarp you could use some waterproof vinyl fabric for the 'roofing' and then stitch the solar panels on top of it. There are videos of people doing that on boat bimini tops. I do live in south florida though so i'm not familiar with how that fabric would do in snowy weather, but it handles wind very well. Maybe not needed for short camping trips though. Other comments have also already mentioned some kind of fan/vent for the condensation or however you call it that your breathing indoors makes. Keep up the amazing videos, I look forward to them!

    *Might I suggest a 3-4 inch lift and a single leafspring suspension on each side. Both front and back. Giving the front and rear axles a chance to avsorb the dips and bumps from side to side, rather than bouncing around so much. Clearance is clearly important as well.* 👍

    I think the battery box should double as a seat. You can easily hot glue a cushion to the top. You could install some cupboard sliders in between the wheels and make a pull out tray so when the camper isn't in motion you can rest the battery on the tray. Solar Roof might be a good idea too.

    Points to improve upon:
    1. make all membranes (tarp, vynil) double-layered, the layer of air between the two sheets could help with heat retention.
    2. insulation for the walls and roof - add some sort of foam or fibrous insulation to prevent heat from escaping through these parts.
    3. suspension - create a suspension system to raise the vehicle from the ground and reduce the amount of bouncing around.
    4. - bonus - snowplow.
    Additional good things - add an awning for an extendable roof on the side for an improvised porch, good for when you want to do some campfire cooking.
    Another is - create a trailer.
    It could be used to haul extra gear, or even for a field shower.

    Add 4 wheeler tires, likely bounce less, much much more traction and you'll ride higher on snow. Motors won't strain as much. Also you can add a small fan/vent blowing out at that space you covered with tarp over the door. Turn it on when cooking it will rid alot of that condensation buildup inside.

    I suggest bungee cords, Squeegie, and micro towels to help wipe down the windows with little to no smearing. Did you know they make chains for your size tires? That could help grip the snow and ice. If that sleeping bag has a bottom zipper keep the heated blanket feet and legs. You can keep it low and still be warm. Less is more. Too many clothes in a sleeping bag won't help keep you warm, but hold moisture and make you colder. A head cover for sleeping works better. Balance out your load. Help keep your buggy from bouncing so much and help distribute the weight equally on your power wheels. Like I said it's just suggestions.

    I would suggest cutting back on weight, you probably dont need so many 2x4s, especially on the roof, where you could definitely get away with half as thin planks, alongside most of the frame.
    I would also definitely look into maximising the insulation everywhere where there isnt any. Something i thought of is double layering the windows with lots of space im between, which will reduce the heat loss drastically through the windows and also help as a second protection from rips ad punctures, but it may make it difficult to unfog unless the seal is like perfect.
    Or you could use acrylic sheets which are very expensive but very strong (in this case keep a layer on the outside to help with scratches)
    Also try to improve the ground clearance by shifting the wheels down with chains or cogs to help keep the powered axel out of the snow, and out of the way of rocks and stuff to avoid damage.
    Someone else suggested chained wheels which is a good idea.
