That experiment showed that the kettle needs to be put in the BIN. Use the induction stove to heat water for you tea. Well done thank you

Keep up the good work. Not sure if its possible to monitor with the solar but what sort of power do the everyday appliances in your van used over a day. (Ie. Lights, fridge, USB charging etc )

Thanks for your video. Great info. We’ve recently had an Enerdrive system installed and still learning about what we can do. One thing that occurred to me is that as we generally have our main meal for lunch each day, that’s when I’d be using the airfryer etc, and have the benefit of the solar replenishing battery during the afternoon. This means we wouldn’t have as much a worry about whether we could run the air con for a little while to cool down the motorhome before we try and sleep.

I should have seen this video before trying to use the kettle and microwave the other day 😂. I’m a tea drinker so no coffee machine in our van. This is a great little video - and as I’m an airfryer fan, its good to know what happens when I use it 😊.

Interested to know what amps you guys have seen from your air con on those really hot days. I have the Harrier Lite and have seen as high as 170 amps for the first hour or so before it starts to ramp down. Is this your experience as well?
@AussieDestinationsUnknown
@AussieDestinationsUnknown Год назад
No, ours only draws high amps (like 90) for a short period of time then it drops back then fluctuates. The Harrier plus is the best air con we’ve had yet.

As a barista myself a tip.... Extract your espresso ontop of the hot water rather than adding hot water after, this will help you preserve the crema and produce a better over all coffee.

@AussieDestinationsUnknown

Hey Wayne…yeah it’s only a 2 way fridge 12/240v. On average it uses about 5ah.
@thetravellingsultana7495
@thetravellingsultana7495 Год назад
Good video. What's your average power consumption of a late afternoon till morning? Id be interested to see what you get down to (SOC) once the sun has gone down and you don't have solar coming in.
@AussieDestinationsUnknown
@AussieDestinationsUnknown Год назад
It really depends on the time of year and where in Australia we are. Generally we are at 100% SOC every afternoon. On average we sit between 85 and 90% when we get up in the morning

Great video 👍🏻 hoping you can help, we’re having trouble with our Safiery induction. We have Enerdrive 2600w inverter (400amp batteries and 680w solar). The front hot plate is faulty (trying to get that sorted) but when we run back hot plate even at 7 at around 1600w output our inverter keeps tripping :-/ any ideas??
@AussieDestinationsUnknown
@AussieDestinationsUnknown Год назад
Oh - can’t help with that I’m sorry. Maybe try running it at 3? We usually run ours at 3. But it doesn’t cut out when it’s higher. Hmm. Maybe the entire cooktop is faulty? 🤔
@helenhunter344
@helenhunter344 Год назад
@@AussieDestinationsUnknown thanks so much for the reply 😊 yes now we only try to go up to 6 to boil water on the back plate, but if we do try go up any higher it trips, so I guess we will keep trying to follow up with Safiery, happy travels 👍🏻
@AussieDestinationsUnknown

Can I ask how many batteries you have in total and total v or watts and how much solar panels draw in total as researching before we get a van

Hey…we have 600amps and 1.45kw of Solar (8 panels)
@kimwilson9640
@kimwilson9640 Год назад
Hello just wanted to know what time this experiment was done during the day?... and what does your battery get down to overnight?....we have 600 amps of lithium battery with a 2600 inverter and some days our battery is down to 45 and as low as 35% overnight only running fridge (dometic 224litre fridge) we would typically go to bed with no less than 85% battery.
@AussieDestinationsUnknown
@AussieDestinationsUnknown Год назад
Hi Kim, how much solar do you have on the roof? Can you replenish it back to 100% everyday?
@kimwilson9640
@kimwilson9640 Год назад
@@AussieDestinationsUnknown we have 780 of solar on the roof and a solar blanket and can get back up to 100% .... just more wondering if it was normal to get down to that level overnight and if running if further down to 20% each day is ok before the sun is fully up to charge the battery system again.

For cups of tea we just use the coffee machine to get a cups worth. No need to also have a kettle

@AussieDestinationsUnknown

Some people don’t have coffee machines - so we have to allow for them as well 😁 Also, when I boiled water it’s usually a full kettle for when I make rice in the thermomix or a full litre for when I brew kombucha ever 5 or so days. Can’t do that in a coffee machine 🤪

That’s all great with a van with a solar farm on the roof and enough lithium to run a small town… What about running the same appliances with say 400 amp hours of lithium and 700 watts of solar.
@AussieDestinationsUnknown
@AussieDestinationsUnknown Год назад
That was like the power system in our old van. 720 of solar on the roof. We did a similar video explaining that system as well. You definitely can’t run appliances the same way when you don’t have the capacity to store and replenish power. You can check that video out here 😁 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uAO1OFuRIEw.html&feature=share&si=EMSIkaIECMiOmarE6JChQQ
