@@SvendB-w8g its been really good! I was planning on a doing a follow up video on it in the next few weeks. I don’t notice the noise at all, but I have the roof rack on it so that is what I hear.
So I bought a jk4001, install was fairly simple but CarPlay would not work, wireless or wired. Support nonexistent and their website went off line a week ago. Satellites were always searching and it lost power and bricked twice. Once I resurrected it by disconnecting battery but that is unsustainable. The few specs available are great but non of it worked for me. I’d stay away far away…
That is super weird that nothing was working for CarPlay. Sounds like you got a bad one. I did notice that they were offline as well. After doing some research I found they closed up. Just to be clear on the CarPlay, it is only wired and not wireless. Did you have the black CarPlay box thing plugged in and are you plugged into the right usb port that says CarPlay on it?
I did have it plugged into the CarPlay usb, and I’d show you in their website that wireless was supported too but it’s off line. In fact they discussed why wireless and wired couldn’t be enabled together because they both use same pathway. Anyway, it’s useless to me and obviously support is nonexistent Good luck with yours
Sure! They are in the description but here are two options. amzn.to/3xf4vQy - This one is in stock right now, but $100 more than the one I installed. amzn.to/3VvQdVU - This is the one that is in the video for $200, but it is currently out of stock. It looks like it has been sold out for a week or two now and not sure when it is coming back.
absolutely, I have been sitting on this video for a bit since I wanted to make sure I liked the radio. I hope your install goes well! Let me know if you have any questions.
Seems like a waste of time and resources. I just don’t see why this is better than the hanging solar shower bag. I have been using those for years with excellent results. Plus you can move the shower bag into the sun while the trailer is in the shade and it costs less and it works off gravity and requires no power...
Thanks for comment. Sounds like a solar shower bag is what works well for you. Until I get out and try this in the spring, not sure how much I will like it or not. For me it was about the ease of transport and keeping the weight of the water where I want it. Nothing is a waste of time and resources if you learn something and I learned a lot by doing this.
Careful that doesn't let go in your face when putting pressure to it. This doesn't look like pressure rated pipe or fittings... Black ABS is usually drainage only. You want to use pressure rated pipe/fittings, for the large diameter stuff sprinkler supply stores have what you need.
Great job man and thanks so much for sharing! Something to consider...placing the air bowl on the water refilling side and moving the water spigot under the pipe will allow 100% of the water out without losing much air pressure. An RV pressure regulator (Amazon) could also be placed to regulate only once so it can just be forgotten about!
Thanks! I did think about moving where the water spigot was at. When I looked at it being on the bottom I am not sure it would have mattered since it doesn't sit flush with the inside of the pipe. I put the spigot as low as I could so I could put a nut on the inside to help hold it in place. I like the idea of putting the air on the other side of the pipe as well, but didn't want to stand next to something that might pop-off (like it did in with the rubber plug) while I was filling it. I will look into the RV pressure regulator though. Thanks!
