    Andre, You should look into an electric blanket. It would probably use a lot less power than the space heater. A lot of truck drivers use them so the don't have to idle their truck overnight.

    • @sun_dreaming
      @sun_dreaming Рік тому +5

      Yeah that space heater likely uses up to 1500 watts so that battery would last less than two hours. We've used a full sized electric blanket on it's lowest power with a down quilt on top and have never been cold. A 12 volt blanket would be most efficient in terms of power usage but I've only found ones big enough for a single person.

      You can also buy ceramic-plate and silicone oil-filled space heaters which are much more efficient on a thermal emissions basis and use less than 200 watts (about 10 hours on your system). That 200 watts is a LOT of thermal energy and even reducing it to 50 watts (40 hours) can keep your warm on nights even down to 14 F (-10 C).
      Modern ceramic and thermal-fluid-filled space heaters are FAAAAAAR more efficient than the old style ones with metal coils or plates!

      @@LeesChannel The ceramics-based heaters are DIRECTIONAL which means when pointed at yourself, it's only YOU being heated and not your overall surroundings. When you want to stay warm, sometimes it's alright if YOU and only YOU are the things being warmed up!
      You can get ceramic heaters that have a wide output "cone" or a higher wattage rating BUT depending upon the ruggedness of your tent or camper, maybe it's all right to let those get cold and NOT YOU!
      It also depends upon the TYPE of ceramic or thermal-fluid-based heater as to whether or not its JUST YOU or also your surroundings being heated-up.
      200 watts is a LOT of radiant energy and if the convection air currents flowing out of the heating device is directional enough, you could stay nice and toasty at say 20 C (68F) while keeping the rest of your tent or camper at say 10 C (50F) so the pipes or water jugs don't freeze!
      With some nice plush blankets kept on you, that 20 C heated personal space is MORE THAN ENOUGH to keep you comfortable even in -40C (-40F) deep winter temperatures!
      Modern heating technology really has come a long way in the last 10 years, so why not spend the extra $50 USD and get a space heater system that uses MUCH LESS POWER but still keeps you warm!

    A few suggestions you might consider. Why not charge both the main and cabin batteries from the solar panels using a dual battery solar controller. I find multiple down comforters work better than a heater. I agree with the comments on propane over electric cooking, I use a full size 20 lb tank powering a two 30,000 BTU burner camping stove. On a cold morning I use one burner for cooking the other like a campfire for warmth, works great. As usual, fun video, keep up the great work.

    Basic Coleman Gas stove is anywhere from $50 to $100 and a buddy heater with propane is another $100 to maybe $150. Way more dependable And significantly more inexpensive than the $3,000 plus that you have in that rig. The battery bank and solar is a nice idea, but it's a luxury at this point.

    I have a rather expensive portable lithium ion generator in my 2019 4Runner TRD OR build. TBH I wish I had thought of it before paying so much for a dual battery plus inverter setup lol. Mine has portable solar charging option, plus I can charge it while my vehicle is running. It has totally transformed my night/meal time experience 110% (especially where I don't sleep long), so now I absolutely never worry about power levels, at night time, anymore! I have my rig turned off more, also saving gas
    It runs my fans, my heated blanket and other USB needs, when not running my 4Runner and I can make coffee, food etc. They are expensive and you get what you pay for, but they are soooo worth the money!
    I originally bought it to be a power supply for my laptop, at night, but it does soooo much more lol

    I can appreciate the advertising that you guys do for certain products on this show, but really, there are much better options available to do exactly what you just did at a fraction of the costs. I have 460w of panels on my roof with a homemade solar generator using a 200ah battery, 30a charger controller, and a pure sine invertor. Everything is expandable so I can add more panels as roof space allows and more battery as my needs require. With everything I just mentioned, I'm into it for less than $1300. Its not as pretty as the Zendure, but 100% functional. I also have a smaller Bluetti EB70S that gets used for the pellet stove in my home as UPS or when Overlanding in my Samurai. It runs an electric blanket and lights in my cot-tent.

      Yea I camp in the woods on the east coast. There's no way I'm dumping a thousand bucks on solar panels. I think the batteries are great. One hour running the generator and I'm back to 80% on my Ecoflow River Max which if I'm running my diesel heater will get me through the night with my fridge and camp lights. If it's just the fridge I can go all weekend on 80%. It's got a ways to go before the solar part of it's worth it.

    Would have been a lot more efficient and economical to use a diesel heater and propane stove for your heating and cooking needs. A smaller solar power station would suffice for your lighting needs and charging/running your electronics etc. You're not living out there in your vehicle for an extended amount of time so the whole "the sun is always out here" is a moot point. You would have electricity but no food to cook when it runs out and I don't think the TFL gang is going to be hunting any game animals either in the desert lol.

    Not that impressed with battery. And yes an electric blanket prob more effecient.

    Your setup is cool but your camping friend is a bummer. At least the dog knows you're cooler than him.
