Our Biggest Power Mistake (caught us off guard)

Description

In this video, we break down our real off-grid electrical setup and show how it translates into actual power use based on how we live and work full-time from our van. In this video we talk through: · Our battery type and capacity · Our solar setup and MPPT · Our 1000W inverter And how all of that holds up when we're: · Working remotely all day · Running laptops continuously · Using Starlink for reliable internet · Living normally, not “power-saving mode” 24/7 We also get honest about the biggest power drain in our van, the one thing that eats through our batteries faster than anything else, and why it caught us out more than we expected. Finally, we share what we’d do differently next time. The lessons we’ve learned, the mistakes we wouldn’t repeat, and the changes that will save us a huge amount of time, effort, and frustration when we convert our next van later this year. This video is for if you’re: · Planning an off-grid van conversion · Already living off-grid and wondering why your power disappears so fast · Or just curious what “working from a van” actually looks like day to day This is a real, practical look at how long 210Ah of battery storage lasts, living and working full time in a van. 00:00 - Intro 00:36 - Our electrical setup 05:51 - How long will our battery last? 10:46 - A realistic day in our van 12:46 - Lessons learned 17:22 - Ends 🚐 Full van tour here: https://youtu.be/_TZzEOy1CrU?si=t1CrM0Stkx3VkMJr We have a brand new Patreon account! patreon.com/LesGoFree ➕ Follow us for more real-life, not-so-glamorous but always memorable content: https://www.instagram.com/lesgofree/ https://www.tiktok.com/@lesgofreee Music from https://artlist.io/
