Great video. We will await when the Guest House will be able to harness 1.21 gigawatts into the Airstream Flux Capacitor!

And if Barry can achieve that, where we're going we don't need roads!!

Thanks so much. We'll be doing some more work on the truck and we will be working on a new truck bed camper when the weather warms up. Thanks so much for watching!

I discovered your channel thanks to this video and then I proceeded to watch about 6 more video's. All in all a lot of very useful content! I don't recall you talking about the master plan for this battery, so I was wondering: What is the end game here? Why are you putting the battery in the truck and not in the Airstream? I ask because I am contemplating the same thing... We will be getting an Airstream this year to do a lot of boondocking. I see two options: A) the more conventional approach of upgrading the electrical system in the Airstream, putting tons of solar on the roof, etc. In your video about selling your Globtrotter 23FB you talked about doing all that stuff. B) Build the battery system in the tow vehicle (tv). Installing 5kWh~15kWh of battery in the bed of the TV. Installing 800~1000 watts on the roof of the TV. Install a second solar MPPT so there can be deployable panels. An inverter/charger that will provide the 240v AC (ours will have 2 air conditioners). And finally install two plugs, one to hook the Airstream up to the truck and the other to allow the truck to be hooked to shore power. The advantage I see to the conventional approach is that Airstream is always ready to go and 100% independent, with nothing to hook/unhook, easy-peasy! Also if the batteries are in the Airstream, then they will will be operating at normal temps. I see some disadvantages: When you sell the Airstream the electrical system goes with it. The space needed for 10kWh or more of the battery takes a lot of space in the Airstream. And if the only solar is on the Airstream, it always has to be in the sun to get power. My number one advantage to option B is not having to modify the Airstream and losing the investment in the electrical system. I also like the idea of not giving up the space in the Airstream for the battery. And then there is the advantage of being able to put the Airstream under a tree for some shade while keeping the truck and solar out in direct sunlight. The way I plan to solve the downside of less room in the TV is by getting a long bed. The other downside, sort of, is having to have the TV tethered to the Airstream. Since we plan to always have two vehicles and the TV is truly just a mule, that should not be a concern for us. Q: One big concern I have is operating temps. What did you find out about how hot the battery got when fully loaded on with your 3000w inverter? Q: The 3000-watt inverter, is the objective to hook the Airstream into the inverter as if it was shore power? If so, how is that working for you? Q: Have you used it in winter camping when temps are too low to charge the battery? If so, how did that go? (Side note, our current teardrop has a lithium battery in it with a heater, when the battery is too cold and detects a power source, it turns on a heater to get the battery warm enough to take a charge. Does your battery do that?) Q: Why did you choose the battery you did?

Hi Sam. The intention for the battery in the truck is - 1) to have backup power from the trailer in an emergency; and 2) to provide power to various tools and electronics (with a 3k watt inverter). This battery will be charged via solar panels on the truck roof and a DC-DC charger from the truck alternator.

Hi Robert - it works great. We have a few videos planned to show how we use it including boondocking under shade and using it as auxiliary power to the Starlink.

RSI doesn't currently have locks that can be opened from the inside. We have seen third party vendors working to create replacement locks. If we find locks that look promising, w'll do a video on them. Thanks for watching.
