@piplup4752 depending on the time of year . We went in march and it was generally cold compared to where we come from in Australia. December-February is the coldest and the snow seasons . From memory on this day it was about 6 degrees Celsius
Hey mate, just wondering how the tents holding up? any issues? worth the money? cheers 🤙🏼 also thanks for the video as hard to find reviews on it but you killed it 🇦🇺
How much did this reduce your over-all temps by? I've got a black alloy canopy on my ute and I'm finding it's hitting 60C during the heat of the day in full sun.
I didn't as I've had an issue before with the kings panel and the voltage being abit too high . So I purchased a kickass dc to dc 40 amp charger and ran the solar through that ! Hasn't missed a beat
Good video, and great idea to stop that sagging. Personally, though, I think the Kings swags are crap. All dome swags will sag a little bit but the sagging on the Kings swag is terrible. The end poles also seem very weak, not holding a firm shape under normal use. I’d rather a swag I don’t have to try to fix with hacks. I suppose they’re popular because they’re cheap, if Kings makes camping affordable for everyone then that is a good thing. 🙂👍🏻
Just a quick note, as per owners manual and common knowledge by auto sparkies, do not connect any accessory negative to the negative terminal of the battery. State of charge and load is sensed via this terminal. All Negative connectors must go to a body or engine earth. i.e. fender bolt or engine bracket bolt. I hope you have had no ill effects, as warranty will be voided.
@@razvanduta3563 There is a shunt on the negative side of the battery which measures what's going on in terms of amps in and out. All loads should be on the vehicle side of this shunt. Putting something on the battery side of the shunt can cause things to get out of sync. In reality, this device is going to draw so little it probably wont matter to much. However, it would be a major problem for a high draw device like a DCDC charger or winch etc.
Hi just a quick question did you add the ground wire, the online manual says too but my manual doesn't kickass video just says you can if you want I'm a bit confused
I havnt personally . But it is a good idea as any appliance you might use could come across a fault and then will use that earth to discharge the appliance .
I actually sold my whole set up and started again. I just finished setting everything up with kickass gear. Your main concern with the microwave would be the current draw on your battery. When we plug a 700w microwave into the inverter it draws about 100 amps . So it does work but your battery needs to be able to dish out 100 continuous amps so you don't damage the battery !
When you turned your inverter on was your car running to power the inverter or it's connected to the slim battery direct and how often do you charge your inverter battery and what is connect to?
My inverter runs straight off my slimline battery in my canopy . Now that battery was permanently feed from solar or from the alternator via my ctek dc to dc charger . I can do a install video one I get my new set up if you would like :)
The cable supplied with the inverter is 16mm2 cut to length to ensure no voltage drop or faults occure . In terms of circuit breaker , it's whole purpose is to protect the cable provided . So whatever cable you want to protect pick a breaker that is equal to or just lower then the current carrying capacity of the cable . In this case I think we had 100amp cbs as the start up current exceeded 50 amps for a short period and tripped the breaker .
Yes I sure can ! I'm going to be rewiring my canopy in the near future so keep an eye out on my coming videos . Maybe even ring that notification bell 🤙
