In today's video I headed up North too Nottingham to go and visit Eco Tree Lithium. These guys were awesome as we were able to upgrade my battery and electrical system to allow me to spend more time off grid. They really know there stuff and it was great to spend a couple of days picking there brains and trying to get a much better standing of this all.

@WillsWhereabouts 2 года назад

That's awesome mate I hope you absolutely love the journey

@duanedibbley7846 11 месяцев назад

I've just bought a van, been watching all videos on RU-vid and you make the most sense, Hat's off to you kidda. How much was the full electric set up with the solar panels and everything??

@FrancisSiuChock 2 года назад

Will, I am so happy that you reached out to the Pros to help with your build! It means you are one step closer to getting back out on the road Mate! Stay safe and healthy!

@Jester-Riddle 2 года назад

Will has a future in management, as he's got everyone else doing all the work on his van ... !!! 😂

@darrenbarson3828 2 года назад

Another great video Will. You even got a quick glimpse of my van right at the beginning LOL (I was parked to the right of the workshop - silver VW) It was great to meet you and it made my day. Cheers, Darren.

@curiousfox106 2 года назад

Good to see you back on form, we all have tough times so it’s good to hear you talking about MH issues. The more we talk and the more honesty we have about how feel the better we will be. Into my second month in my van and bloody loving it. Look forward to the next video

@Sue.242 2 года назад

Good for you for asking every 10 seconds Will, you will absorb more by learning from the professionals. And from friends Neil and Emma as they take the time to teach you xx

@johnkennesion6658 2 года назад

glad to see your sprits are back high and positive, I find the more questions you ask the better your knowledge will grow and people are always willing to teach you the correct way loving the van build keep up all the hard work,

@mattpierceplayz 2 года назад

Glad you are feeling better. It is hard when you are invested in something, not just financially but emotionally, as we do with projects, to separate yourself and not get disheartened when things aren't going well. Enjoying the van build vids, and it's giving me inspiration to take on my own project

@ArrowToTheKnee 2 года назад

Really chuffed for you having such a productive week after your last one. Good on you for sticking with it, those down days don't last forever. That's some awesome kit you have there!

@paulcomptonpdphotography 2 года назад

Will, I am heading down to see Rob this weekend. I was on the phone to him while you was down there, I'll be doing the work myself but can't wait for the upgrade. Top video.

@rebeccahowley5914 2 года назад

So pleased to see that some weight seems to have been lifted from your shoulders and your positivity is shining through. I suffered with severe clinical depression myself in my mid twenties, but with the support of those around me (and im not ashamed to admit, some carefully prescribed medication for a short time) I came through it. I love the honesty of your videos and thank you for sharing your journey with us all. It takes great strength of character to do what you do! Look forward to the next video x

@josephsullivan5145 2 года назад

Congratulations on the upgrades!! This definitely will give you a solid electrical setup. Less worries going forward. Things are coming together!! Keep going a little at a time and it’ll all work out!!

@8BROWNIE8 2 года назад

@MrDJGix 2 года назад

Glad to see you in a better place now mate. Loving the build. If I had the space and money I would love to do a van camper build.

@SteveK6470 2 года назад

So good to see you doing better! Keep in mind to do things that bring you JOY and don't sweat the small stuff. Take a breather if you feel overwhelmed and come back to the project after some JOY time like a good hike in nature or time with friends, family :) TY for this informative video on the ongoing build. Cheers to ongoing success and adventures.

Hey Will glad to see your more like the Will we all love. Another great video mate, don’t let the tougher days in life get you down. Remember determination and talking about how your feeling to anyone always helps. See you in the next one pal.👍

@krism3781 2 года назад

So glad to see there is a turn around for you. WE learn with you and at times we need to bite the bullet and pay the professional to get it done. It can just be too stressful for us when that is not our forte'. This has all been very interesting. Looking forward to see what happens next.

@baldvale5418 2 года назад

Hi Will what an interesting video this was, i'm happy that your van build is working out for you and that freakin diesel heater is going to get sorted. Looking forward to the next instalment. All the best.

@Alivefrom45 2 года назад

Nice Will, the electrics are coming on well. The Victron stuff are game changers. Yes they cost a bit more but you get what you pay for.

@parkay3560 2 года назад

I'm so glad you're in a better frame of mind than last week. It was really upsetting to see you so abjectly down-oh how a week can change how you feel-which is great.I wish I'd had the budget to go lithium but after I bought the van I had a limited budget and could only go AGM. my main thing was to improve my mental health by travelling in the van. One day I'll upgrade but for now, this week should see my van finished so I can use it. Keep your chin up and here's a saying I saw on the Dubventures channel "I want to travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape me"

@FreeBirdUKVanLife 2 года назад

Good to see you are feeling better. Great vid!

@narrowboatfreya5623 2 года назад

Well-done chap you won't regret lithium! I put 300ah worth of lithium on my boat even with meagre winter solar runs everything and still adds charge! Not run the engine for a couple of months now! Amazingly energy dense you will be unrestricted power wise compared to lead acid or AGM enjoy! 😁😁

@duncanlittle6868 2 года назад

Great to see your back on track with your build. Like all projects you always have a low, part way through. Sometimes its best to walk away for a few days and reset. Anyway good luck with the rest of the build, I will carry on following.

@theworldssexiestman 2 года назад

You said in the video about using the Inverter to give 230v power so that you can charge your laptop. As the inverter uses power itself then you can save this powerloss by finding a 12v charger adapter for your laptop, so that you can charge the laptop directly from the 12v battery. Jerry

@kinross24 2 года назад

Well done, getting the professional help to install electrical items and going lfp lithium. If I can add one thing for added safety as this is all just under your very flammable bed, I would fireproof line your ‘garage as much as possible, including under your bed but also includes ventilation for keeping those items cool during warm/hot weather etc, as well as ventilation for your mattress. Great vid

@68dosh 2 года назад

Good to see your getting there will keep ya chin up buddy

@db1tau75 2 года назад

Expensive setup, but you are right, lithium is the way to go. I used recycled 18650 cells from the netherlands though and got 1 kWh for around 150 Eur. Your battery is strong enough to run the heater fan for around one hour. But you can use a 240V heating blanket (80W) all night. You should buy an adapter for BEV charging stations (e.g. from amazon), then you can get power even outside the campgrounds. They charge about 50 Eurcent per kwh but you can run the electric heater all night if necessary.

@greggtilghman6349 2 года назад

So glad this weeks video finds you in a much better frame of mind. I see my suggestion to get help worked for you, I’m not taking credit, I’m sure others suggested it as well, I’m just to fucking lazy to read everyone’s comment, I doubt you even saw mine. But it is re-enforcement for me (because I suffer from many of the same anxiety causing disturbances you are dealing with) that when you feel like you’re drowning, don’t get timid and refuse to ask for help. So gla you found the guys at EcoTree Lithium and they agreed to assist you.

@krisreynolds9101 2 года назад

Great vlog mate nice to see you up beat again stay strong mate

@bettyvanwhite6745 2 года назад

You crack me up! I get it. I've been trying to wrap my head around solar, amp hours, volts, watts, ac/dc, inverter, charger blah, blah, blah, it's nuts for a newbie. But like you, I want to get it. I've decided if I keep talking and watching about it, something will finally stick. I think you made a wise choice to go to a professional. I may do the same. Cheers!

@olderbutnowiser6701 2 года назад

Nice one Will. You have a LiFePo4 battery which is much better than LiFe. I totally understand your setup, top job to the guys who set up your system. 214Ah is epic! Rog. 😀👍
