[0:00]
morning FL Nation it's a wonderful day
[0:03]
it's a bit chilly out it'll get nicer
[0:05]
though going to have lots of sunlight I
[0:08]
got both my solar panels out now I just
[0:10]
want to show this to you I love this I
[0:13]
am the king of
[0:15]
solar for
[0:19]
real oh that's so that's a sight to see
[0:23]
so I destroyed my battery within like an
[0:26]
hour and a half maybe two
[0:28]
hours yeah that heater definitely uses
[0:30]
lot to to put my battery into like a
[0:33]
protective State not even charging from
[0:36]
the solar panels yet apparently that's
[0:38]
normal they're lithium um but I did I
[0:41]
did the math you know it's 3,000
[0:43]
kilowatt
[0:45]
hours
[0:47]
um that you can store in the battery
[0:50]
right so and if I'm using 1500 watts
[0:53]
from my ceramic heater I can run it for
[0:57]
2 hours that's how that works so um it
[1:00]
doesn't need to run like the whole time
[1:02]
right if we get to a good temperature
[1:04]
and keep it
[1:05]
there um which obviously we weren't
[1:08]
yesterday and we won't be for a while
[1:10]
but I'm just I'm getting a second
[1:12]
battery it's going to
[1:13]
come between my birthday and like four
[1:16]
or five days after that so I have it
[1:17]
going to my parents house I have to pick
[1:20]
that up this thing is working great guys
[1:23]
um let me just show
[1:25]
you
[1:27]
so I've learned to just double tap that
[1:29]
thing thing
[1:31]
right that's the output for both my
[1:34]
solar panels not very high you know it's
[1:37]
kind of in the Shadee but I need to get
[1:38]
extension cords they come
[1:40]
Monday but that's both of them running
[1:43]
that's so
[1:44]
cool oh I guess those are I wonder what
[1:47]
I got to learn I need to learn this
[1:49]
stuff I need to know what a volt is
[1:50]
versus a
[1:51]
watt all of
[1:54]
that for real oh I think there was
[1:57]
another one I needed to
[1:58]
learn
[2:00]
volts Watts what else is there amps amps
[2:03]
so I got to just understand what those
[2:05]
things mean I don't know but I will
[2:08]
learn I'm having a great day I hope that
[2:10]
you guys are having a great weekend it's
[2:11]
like Saturday I guess it's today
[2:13]
Saturday man one day closer every day
[2:16]
it's a little scary not going to lie
[2:18]
like I am so excited just thrilled right
[2:23]
but oh my God one day closer to driving
[2:26]
this thing again but it'll be fine it
[2:29]
it'll be fine it'll get to the point
[2:33]
where that's just normal we'll see how
[2:35]
my cats react to it you know cuz they're
[2:37]
going to be in a little mini earthquake
[2:38]
every two weeks but I hope that becomes
[2:42]
normal yeah that's all for now look how
[2:46]
awesome that is you know it comes with
[2:48]
this by default you get a cable that has
[2:53]
connections for two solar
[2:54]
panels we got two out
[2:57]
there with my starlink got a put that
[3:00]
through here now this thing is just a
[3:02]
lifesaver it really is I'm so glad my
[3:05]
dad did that I really appreciate him for
[3:07]
that so it's just not charging the
[3:10]
batteries yet at all the battery
[3:13]
yet but chat gbt says this is normal if
[3:16]
I discharge it all the
[3:18]
way so we're going to just give it some
[3:21]
time today we get organized in this
[3:23]
camper because it gets inspected
[3:25]
tomorrow so we definitely want this
[3:27]
thing in tip top shape don't we
[3:30]
I made the difficult decision and I got
[3:34]
rid of my monitor it doesn't belong here
[3:37]
and I made some I made some changes in
[3:39]
here so now we got real easy access to
[3:42]
this very awesome thing it died um maybe
[3:46]
an hour and a half after you know the
[3:48]
sun went down the ceramic heater you
[3:52]
know it needs 1500 watts on high so
[3:54]
that's only 2 hours for that battery if
[3:56]
you do the math and so I'm getting a
[4:00]
second
[4:01]
battery that would give me 4 hours in
[4:03]
high which you shouldn't
[4:04]
need because it shouldn't be on high all
[4:07]
the time once it gets to a certain
[4:08]
temperature then I'll just kind of try
[4:09]
to keep it there right so I'm hoping
[4:11]
that will help I won't get that before
[4:13]
my Adventure Starts so I had to send it
[4:15]
to my parents and I'll go pick it up
[4:17]
this is real close um the spot right
[4:21]
here you know it's kind of why I didn't
[4:24]
want on this side for some reason it was
[4:25]
just a little bit better over
[4:27]
there oh and my dad help me cut those
[4:30]
and we got blue board back there
[4:32]
now which is awesome this is perfect
[4:35]
this will become the living space I got
[4:37]
rid of I got rid of um my monitor my
[4:41]
laptop will sit on here but maybe on my
[4:43]
bed a lot more often than not because I
[4:45]
lot of thing to do that to just sit it
[4:47]
there cuz you know this is where I eat
[4:49]
and everything
[4:51]
else apparently Alexa thinks I said her
[4:55]
name anyways that's off for now exactly
[4:59]
ideal conditions but the cats are back
[5:01]
in here you know how they are my parents
[5:03]
have gone somewhere doing some tasks for
[5:06]
me really some
[5:07]
chores and you know the cats can't be
[5:10]
alone they're
[5:12]
super what's the word I'm looking for
[5:16]
super dependent that's not Stak down but
[5:18]
this is a project that my dad is going
[5:20]
to work
[5:21]
on um he just doesn't know about it I
[5:24]
don't know about it yet this thing isn't
[5:27]
secure it will be though buddy I hope
[5:30]
you use
[5:31]
it so I just got to deal with all this
[5:34]
you know working on it all this stuff
[5:37]
inspector comes
[5:38]
tomorrow something I knew I wouldn't be
[5:40]
able to prevent in the long term which
[5:42]
is why the monitor is
[5:44]
gone
[5:46]
and while I'm going to just tolerate it
[5:51]
the best I
[5:53]
can guys this is our eating area though
[5:57]
just hope they stay off of that I'm
[5:59]
going to have had to figure out a way to
[6:01]
prevent that no I knew you'd want to go
[6:04]
for
[6:05]
it cannot do that just stay off
[6:10]
there I mean it Oliver I don't want you
[6:13]
over here I knew oh no no no this is not
[6:15]
going to work over
[6:20]
here okay I mean I know there's not a
[6:22]
lot of room right
[6:24]
now we're working on it we're working on
[6:28]
it you got can
[6:31]
supervise well with a sky like this
[6:34]
we're not getting any power
[6:37]
guys oh Sun's over here
[6:41]
somewhere yeah went down to like 80 and
[6:45]
I was running like
[6:47]
120 so I was draining my battery I'm
[6:50]
trying
[6:52]
to trying to charge that thing
[6:55]
up so just see how we're doing now so
[7:00]
tired I am just exhausted from all this
[7:03]
work work work
[7:07]
work
[7:09]
oh I shut everything off well we're up
[7:13]
to 180 now 190 that's good not a lot
[7:17]
though I should be getting up to like
[7:20]
700 maybe even a little more on a real
[7:22]
sunny
[7:23]
day see this thing's I don't think it's
[7:27]
reached 20 yet yeah it's been pretty
[7:29]
much all
[7:30]
day so you got to keep that in mind too
[7:36]
you so that becomes pretty important too
[7:39]
you're going to want
[7:41]
to really understand the weather I guess
[7:44]
like some days you're just not going to
[7:45]
get power so you need your
[7:48]
batteries glad I'm getting a second
[7:51]
one cuz I'm going to have to conserve
[7:54]
and learn to live so differently working
[7:57]
on it I love how variable this is it was
[8:01]
500 just a second
[8:04]
ago so I know it's using both panels
[8:07]
I've got them both out there it's just
[8:09]
you know cloudy day think you're going
[8:11]
to live your life by the sun like you're
[8:14]
going to want to be up with the first
[8:15]
rays of light you know you're going to
[8:19]
want to get as much sun as you
[8:23]
can oh I'm just so tired I am so tired I
[8:27]
think I'm taking a nap
[8:30]
so I just woke up from a nap I took in
[8:32]
the camper my cats were in here baile me
[8:36]
out at me the second I came near the
[8:38]
door he wasn't too
[8:39]
happy didn't sleep too well though I was
[8:43]
worried about someone taking my solar
[8:45]
pounds or something and I feel like I
[8:47]
won't be afraid of that on campgrounds
[8:50]
or boondocking but I feel that way in a
[8:52]
neighborhood isn't that
[8:54]
weird I don't know that I'm wrong
[8:57]
though um I have some food coming I was
[9:00]
just thinking about it it's probably the
[9:02]
last time I order door
[9:05]
Dash which is a good thing way too much
[9:08]
money spent on that
[9:11]
thing have some work to do in the camper
[9:14]
just to get it right like when the
[9:17]
inspector comes in the morning I just
[9:18]
want the thing to just look like it's
[9:20]
ready to go you know
[9:23]
and not really worried like you know
[9:27]
this is pretty routine but you know I'm
[9:29]
just hoping it all goes well and just
[9:32]
want to present the best face I
[9:34]
can that's really it it's kind of a Loy
[9:37]
day I just feel super tired
[9:40]
today oh
[9:42]
Bailey's that is not his that he's
[9:44]
inside that is Oliver's but he's took
[9:47]
taken both of them over this is all my
[9:50]
cat has he's both of the cat carriers
[9:53]
belong to him I
[9:55]
guess I'm really looking forward to
[9:57]
getting started the house is
[10:01]
is the house is in a state right now but
[10:06]
my mom has helped a lot and pretty
[10:09]
much packed up parts of each of the
[10:12]
rooms you know there's a whole bunch of
[10:15]
stuff going
[10:16]
to to Goodwill and I think most of my
[10:19]
books I'm just going to take those to
[10:21]
the library and see if they want
[10:24]
them and I think what that's going to
[10:27]
leave pretty much is Just furniture
[10:30]
and maybe a few electronic stuff like
[10:33]
that so hopefully it won't be too hard
[10:35]
to get rid of my things whatever's
[10:38]
left I'm ready to go I'm so ready to go
