On your big trip every one should cook their best meal and let everyone sample. Always enjoy your videos. Stay safe.

@JGreen-tb6ke Месяц назад

What a smorgasbord that would be 🤤

@BrianWatersOutdoors Месяц назад

That’s a good idea!!

@zoomzoom9714 Месяц назад

I was way behind on watching your videos. I was so happy to see your back to trunk tent camping! You are the king of just being simplistic but comfy. You have always given me great ideas for my adventures! I entered to win, hope to see ya in the Ozarks!

@BrianWatersOutdoors Месяц назад

Thanks!👍🏻👍🏻

I bought ecoflow wave adapters to 4” on Etsy and they all have broken either the tabs or they have split the plastic I keep forgetting to contact the builder to see if they will do anything. $30 some a piece and they broke the first week. Nice thing about using the 4” tubing vs direct vent for some reason the outlet temp on the chilled side is 4-5° colder.

@BrianWatersOutdoors Месяц назад

Yeah, it’s all just plastic obviously. Hope mine will stay together long enough to use this summer

@rtshort Месяц назад

That TV (pad) holder would be a game changer for me. :)

@BrianWatersOutdoors Месяц назад

It is!

@jfaber99 Месяц назад

Thanks! I’ve been looking at piecing together a way to better run the Wave 2 ducts. Forgot all about looking at Etsy for a solution.

@BrianWatersOutdoors Месяц назад

Thanks for watching!

@doyledenison2702 Месяц назад

Dinner looks good. I use a spray bottle of soapy water to clean my dishes then rinse. Enjoy the dinner.

@BrianWatersOutdoors Месяц назад

I keep a small bottle for dawn and a scrub pad to rinse of the dishes

@clarencewiles963 Месяц назад

You’re making the AC work harder by not using the air inside the tent. The air inside the tent is cooler than the outside air. So it doesn’t have the advantage it would have and will not cool down as much as it should be able to. It’s looking way more comfortable on this trip. Thumbs up 👍

@BrianWatersOutdoors Месяц назад

That’s the only problem with the WAVE 2 unit. They don’t have a way to keep the unit outside and still intake air from the tent like my BougeRV ac unit. I’d have to keep the WAVE 2 inside the tent with me and exhaust the hot air out, which I don’t want to do. Worked pretty well though for it having to work a little harder id say.

@tommieiler2811 Месяц назад

@@BrianWatersOutdoors I found a guy on Etsy that prints an adapter for the intake. It uses the large duct that comes with the Wave 2. I installed two marine ports in my tent. Not for the faint of heart to bore a 5 and 6 inch hole in your tent. But, it makes an easy install of the ducts.

@MrStichrunner Месяц назад

I planned on being up that way the same week. I have a big trip planned in November to Utah with my Girl and some friends. Just wanted to hit a solo trip before then to iron out any kinks. Coming from Louisiana. If i win we all eatting good. Ill make a jambalaya for the crew.

its crazy how many accidents happen right there by 151! im assuming this was a few thursdays ago? we had just got to cheer practice right at that intersection when that wreck happened.

There are wrecks there ALL THE TIME!

@esiebert7625 Месяц назад

Air mattress can never compete with memory foam when it comes to comfort. I can’t sleep on air mattresses, i use the better habitat camping 3” memory foam pads, very comfy. I’m old and need my memory foam 😂

@BrianWatersOutdoors Месяц назад

I agree, I don’t like full air mattresses. This is I guess a “hybrid”. There is foam in it, but you can air it up a bit to increase the firmness, or air it down to make it more soft. Pretty happy with it. Hest was another brand that a lot of people recommended too, but those are even more $$

@RandomVelocity Месяц назад

No need to apologize for not wanting to hold your iPad. The clamp on bracket looks like a great solution. They do make cases that allow you to lean the iPad in the case for hands free too. But that’s perfect for the tent.

@will_ren Месяц назад

I'd never thought to check Etsy for people making add-ons for the Wave 2. I checked and found someone making a front adapter plate so I can attach a hose to the front and pull air out of my van with the unit outside :)

@BrianWatersOutdoors Месяц назад

Etsy has a ton of stuff!!

@CraigG21 Месяц назад

I had a Luno Life air mattress when I was sleeping in the back of my SUV, but have now switched to a Hest Foamy which is way more comfortable.

Shoot man! I’ll take you up on that for sure. I’d love an adapter for my BougeRV ac unit to take it down to standard 4” ducts. Not sure how you would get the dimensions needed, but you can email me at brianwatersoutdoors@gmail.com and maybe we can come up with something.

@BrianWatersOutdoors Месяц назад

@SuziPoozi Месяц назад

If you try opening the opposite end of the tent a little you should get a positive pressure ventilation situation where it would push the hot air out. They use this in firefighting to push cool, clean air into a building to push the hot, toxic air out. Biggen fan involved, so I'm not sure how well it would work with a smaller fan/opening, but worth a shot. Your little frying pan is awesome! I switch all my pans out for ceramic ones like yours and I'll never use Teflon again. Teflon is nasty and peels and doesn't even come close to working as well. I'd love to enter your camping drawing, but I'm in WA and on the other side of the country from Ark. Although my cousin just moved there a while ago. Hmmm... 😉

@BrianWatersOutdoors Месяц назад

@retnav92 Месяц назад

👍. Thought the magnetic attachment for the hose was neat, until you mentioned the bug screening messing with airflow. Were you on shore power for the Wave 2? I've only done a couple of test runs of my Wave 2 in the driveway, and found the dryer hose with the crinkly aluminized interior restricted some airflow, so switched to a smooth interior flexible dust collector hose (3" dia). Much better airflow. Actual field test in late August hopefully.

@BrianWatersOutdoors Месяц назад

I was on shore power. I have the battery for the WAVE 2, but in reality it only gives me about 3 hours since I have to keep the unit on MAX cold until around 2 or 3 in the morning.

@retnav92 Месяц назад

@@BrianWatersOutdoorsHave the battery also as a backup, more or less. No electrical hookups where I camp, so I ord'd the 15ft XT-150 cable from EF, and will run the Wave 2 off of an EF Delta 2.

@kdhartman44 Месяц назад

Don’t you get tired of all the time it takes you to get set up/tear down especially in the heat? Just seems like a pain compared to camping in a topper!

@BrianWatersOutdoors Месяц назад

I thought that I would, but I think the setup and takedown gets easier every time you do it, and the benefits for me of the rooftop tent far outweighs the benefits of the topper. Just my opinion, but I prefer camping in the tent over the topper any day.

@greggrassmuck2011 Месяц назад

Brian, enjoy your videos and reviews. I know this is a hard question to answer with all of the variables out there in the wild, but which portable AC do you feel works the best on battery power? Ecoflow, Zero Breeze, BougeRV, etc?

@BrianWatersOutdoors Месяц назад

Pound for pound, I think you get the most BTUs out of the Ecoflow. It’s 5100 btu and at max cold it draws about 450 watts on MAX. The zero breeze and Bouge RV unit pull about the same amount on max power and they are less BTUs than the Ecoflow.

Thx Brian, going camping with fam at local lake but doing ol school, tents on the ground also looking for good inflatable mattresses ,seeing some in ur channel

@jimmydsadventures4814 Месяц назад

You needed a "4x4 tuck up and turn down" for your exhaust. It's cheaper than what you got (14 inches less pipe) better sound, and no chrome exhaust tip, as nobody can see your exhaust until it's cold and you blow big white clouds to the pavement that engulf the entire truck in condensation smoke.. ok I went to far
