Yes you could the nice thing about the Jackery is that it's portable and you can use it for other things I checked into it when I was doing the install and at the time the Jackery with the same output and storage that I have would have cost me more than double what I paid for my system...
Great presentation! Were you concerned with wind up lift where you mounted the panels? I thinking about placing them on my pool cage, everyone says it won't hold up in a storm. Has your system as shown, withstood high winds? Again great video!!
The panels have been up for about 7 years with no problems hurricane Irma came by in 2017 and knocked down my wooden fence but the panels stayed in place...
Thanks. I also want to mount panels so they serve double-duty for shade. No worries with clouds in sunny Sacramento, CA. Clouds are very rare from May to Nov. After that, the pool water drops <50 F where algae won't grow, so many cover their pool for the winter and don't run the pump or add chlorine, though a cover is optional.
Great video thanks for sharing. This is exactly what I’m planning for our house! We just moved to S Florida in December and anything to not give FPL my $$$ will make me happy lol
May you tell more about a solar controller. I have 4 solar panels in series, total 1280W, 96V (Renogy solar, each panel: 320W, 24V) and run "Happybuy Solar Swimming Pool Pump, 1200W 136GPM Powerful Motor, 72VDC Max" from Amazon. About 1 month, the controller is stop working, solar pump is fine (twice - exchange to the other a pump system is still last less than 1 month). Can you let me know where are you buy the system and please give me some advices. I live in California. Thanks
72volt 1200watt solar pump with MPPT controller is now $495 and 900 watt is $404, I should go for 1200watt (1.6HP)? and how many panels would I need? A a/c 1.5hp pool pump cost $240/year in electricity, so pays for itself in 2years for the motor and take 5 years if you include 6 solar panels.
Looks really functional. You've created a lot more storage space without losing too much head room. Always thought it was strange how those types of plastic storage totes/containers are sized according to liquid amounts instead of cubic feet/inches. I have yet to see anyone putting liquid in plastic storage containers. Thanks for sharing.
nice little design... did you glue the legs on? Maybe you can make them removable for easy storage. I have a Teardrop that I built a few years ago and one thing that I'm always looking for is space saving ideas. Thanks
Hello David no I didn't glue the legs on it's a pretty tight fit on the fender so I didn't want it to move... I store it on top of the bed with the legs up against the wall so it doesn't take up much room...
Nice setup, just think if we went with 2 batteries you would get over 12 hours of running your ac. I’m going that route with the same brand of battery but with going with 2
Thanks, Power Queen also makes a 410 AH single battery which would save you space and weight instead of installing 2 batteries. How much solar are you planning on doing?
How did you determine how many panels you need? Is is strictly based on how many watts or is it based on volts or amps or all 3? I want to start planning out my build.
Clever! May I ask how tall you are and if you’re comfortable in the bed arranged this way? We’ll pick ours up in December, and trying to figure out if I can do East - West bed for storage options.
Hello Diego if you have a rear door that's even better you can add drawers from both sides especially the back which is wasted space on mine. The mattress that I have is an old queen size memory foam mattress that I got from my son it is 10" height and we had to cut the length to 70" so it would fit the camper. If I ever replace it I would get an 8" thick mattress for extra head room. Hope that helps...
Thanks for the information! I am thinking I will store my Coleman camping stove and other kitchen items in bins and store them under the bed through the rear door. I'll keep you posted!
Great build! I have looking at videos to make a platform bed like yours except my Range Runner has a rear door and I want to be able to access storage from there. Will you provide some info about your mattress: brand name, where purchased, and if it is fiberglass free. Happy trails, keep the great videos coming.
Perfect! I will be installing a 4m x 8m pool in a few months and wait to purchase a solar power system. I was told to wait for the pool and pumps to be installed before installing a solar power system. This would mean I'd need both AC and DC pumps; like yours. Our electric bill (in Thailand) is already too high and adding a pool will be more expensive! A off-grid (no batteries) solar power system seems to make (cents) sense.
I’ve watch your video several times and just bought a 900w 72v solar pump, what size panels and how many do you think I need to run it? I live in So California where it’s sunny most of the time.
I am going to recreate your system. I have no experience with any of this, and I'm wondering what type of instructions come with the pump? Also, is there some way to install something (a battery?) that I can bank the energy with for days that it might be cloudy? Or is that not needed? Will I also need to install a timer? Or is the sun pretty much the on and off switch? Please explain things to me like I'm an infant... I really have NO experience or idea what I'm doing 😬 Thank you from New Mexico
I tried the email for ken to thread my forks. Haven't got a response yet.Is there another way to get in contact with him. I live in pemboke pines,fl. Thanks.
I've watch a bunch of videos to add a suspension fork and they all say they had to replace the head set. Your method was so simple and effective. Thank you.
You Rock! This is definitely the way to go for my XP.l rode my wife’s XP 2.0 and the suspension fork is so much better, add a suspension seat post and your good to go. Thanks again! NJ
How did you put that ring back on the new fork ? Did you heat it once more time ? Or it will just press on its own when you screw everything back ? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MBo8Cw_OOIU.html I was able to remove by heating on the gas stove and then hammer it out through the piece of wood.
@@GR-jq2qp I hammer it in with brute force thru the piece if wood. Now I have a real problem. Original folding stem doesn't fit new fork. The hole is 1mm smaller. Folding stem is 25mm and new fork is around 24mm. I read that someone used sandpaper to sand off paint and some metal off the stem and that part that fixes the stem in the fork.
