Perfect thanks. We are looking at getting our first large van with shower and toilet, but plan on only using the toilet when we have to, or are free camping etc. The cleaning is shown in many videos, but the "use" is never really mentioned, so thanks.
Ironically, you are doing something very similar to what they did with Cirrus 670, which for some strange reason they discontinued. Are you familiar with that model ?
@xodus1914 that was the 720. The 670 never came out. 720's been discontinued because they couldn't resolve issues with the shower drain. Also it was too heavy for a half ton.
Just getting into Starlink after seeing how it saving lives in the North Carolina disaster. I'm going to buy the Mini for my bugout stockpile so these two power options really help really helps. I own a Model Y so what would I need to run Starlink out of it? The manual says the accessories outlet is 12 amps of continuous draw and 16 amps of peak.
Ryobi has had the same battery for the longest time out of all the tool manufactures. The only change they mad was to change from Ncad to lythium but it still fits all its tools. all the other manufactures almost changed the battery design with each different tool or yearly so they make the most out of YOUR hard earned work.
I used Ryobi 1+ as a professional plumber and the only tool that has failed is the circular saw. I still use the first drill and batters and they are over 10 years old. If you use a tool for what it is meant for it will last a long time. Ryobi tools don't suck just the users, respect the tool
I've had Ryobi products for the last 16 years. they've worked great for me. my drill is 10 years old, still works like it's new. their new lithium ion batteries are outstanding. I don't know where you're getting your information.
you could have used velcro and some tape to attach the velcro to the wall, then wrapped it around the edge of the rack to keep it in tight when pulling the stuff off the rack. thus keeping it all light weight and a whole lot less work. you can also adjust the height of the rack by shortening the legs by cutting them to the right length, or bending the length of the leg and then it won't destroy the surface of the bottom of the original cabinet. Just a suggestion for others to use your original idea. ;)
Instead of a high-BTU unit that only runs for 3 hours, go for a low-power A/C that can keep you cool night after night and be recharged the next day. We totally agree, and that’s exactly why we created the Mark 2 portable A/C. We designed it with low power consumption in mind, knowing how precious and scarce power can be in outdoor settings.
Great idea " but "... from my experience if you take out the bed liner and put a rubber mat for the camper to sit on you can keep your front bumpers on your camper. What do you think?
Nicely done! I like that you created a custom sized system that works for you. The size of your DC to DC charger fits your space and won't exceed your alternator output. All in one portable power stations don't always suit an individual needs case. I recently found that the 12v output of mine was inadequate for a particular need. I know that the unit could be capable of the amperage I needed but the designers have to make compromises to suit the cost and size considerations. I fully appreciate the desire to be able to troubleshoot and repair each part of youor system. Nice work on the battery as well! I haven't yet looked into the size/AH possibilities. Good job, Sir.

Very innovative. Even though space is at a premium in a truck camper - I would suggest ditching the AC inverter and building a small cubby to house a pre-packaged LiFePO4 power station - if the your DIY lithium battery is a 12 to 24 volter.
Thanks. I know how to fix/replace/troubleshoot every component of my system. Power stations are often impossible to repair. I'll stick with what I've got.
@@thisoldrv I've been running an all-in one power station in a much older camper than yours for over 2 years and knock on wood, it hasn't bricked yet. It has gotten a lot use over those two years. When not on the road, it's my charge station for my power tools and an eBike battery. But you are correct, if it fails I'll need shell out another $400. My main power source is a 12 volt 100 ah lithium, charged by a combined DC to DC and MPPT controller that can easily handle my 200 watt solar panel.
I've used a plain cotton shower curtain in Summer and just let it air dry, atop a shower deck made using Trex above PVC sheeting. My second shower deck I ommitted all the valves and plumbing belowdeck because if parked with the bow higher than the stern, the water simply drains out below my Sprinter's rear doors. Badda bing! Note: I practice this judiciously in urban environs and don't use anything but water to clean myself and use gyms to shower most times.
Thanks for sharing your idea with the rest of them Cirrus 620 community. Your videos helped me make the decision on buying one and continue to help me with ideas like this.
Good video. I like how you're just matter of fact explaining everything. I just think it's sad, for humanity in general, that we have to go to a website to calculate the circumference of a circle. When, it's like the first math thing that everyone gets taught, ever. It's literally as simple as pi times the diameter. You don't even have to square anything. But, in the end, it's kind of moot. You aren't going to want the top of your shower curtain to be the same diameter as that 24-in wide dog tub. Any normal adult would get frustrated trying to move their arms around. You simply buy enough shower curtains to go all the way around the space that you want to have your arms be able to move in. You provide enough overlap so that the curtains don't easily come open and get water all over the place. And then you just tuck the ends in at the bottom. If you bought more shower curtains then you needed, and then you just take back the extra one. There is literally no math necessary at all.
So what would the disadvantage and advantage of having the intake inside your truck topper? Wouldn't it be colder air coming out by re-circulating the already cooled air?
There are two intakes. One is for exhaust, the other (on the front) is for cooling air. The cooler air coming into the ZBM2 the better. I have a new video coming where I use it in the camper.
