It all started when…
In December 2015 we packed up and hit the road for what we thought would be a 12 month Lap of Oz. Fast forward 7 years and we decided to create a video series of our travels to show you all what it’s like to live life on the road!!

I’m an old fogey,but it’s good to see youngsters like yourselves doing what you do . If I was younger some of the trips you do would definitely be on my to do list. But have to go easy these days . Keep safe and maybe see you on the road someday .

That is just lovely. EcoFlow may be a bit pricey compared to building your own but you get no compatibility issues. Everything's very easy to install and it's pretty scalable as well. For added power you can get the Smart Generator so you can run that aircon all the live long day if you want. All in all this is a great build. Two thumbs up!
Good job mate .I got the ecoflow aircon and love it .Not cheap but if you can afford it why not .Next product is the ecoflow delta pro 👍

Hey Justin just a thought maybe swing by Bunnings and grab a couple cheap plastic vent covers and cut holes above your bedroom doors. That way if the doors are closed for privacy you still will get heat/cold air blowing in.

Hi Justin, 14 is to low to set air con on hot humid days, try set on 26. House or shed will never drop to 14, compressor will never stop working. (26 with no humidity is comfortable, less power.)

Only up to 15kw systems as far as I know
If you orient your panel to true north you will get most power. A bit North East for morning sun/charge or North West for afternoon sun/charge. Believe it or not, the best angle for solar panels is different depending on where you live. Naturally, you always want your panels on the side of the roof that gets the most daytime sun. However, the actual angle you should aim for changes from state to state. This is because the ideal angle is always equal to the latitude angle of your home’s location. As a rough guide, the optimal angles for solar panels are listed below for Australia’s capital cities. Sydney - 33.9 degrees Melbourne - 37.8 degrees Perth - 31.9 degrees Brisbane - 27.5 degrees Hobart - 42.9 degrees Adelaide - 34.9 degrees Darwin - 12.5 degreesk

At 2.2 kWe, the aircon is pulling out a lot of energy from the batteries... Not sure what your current ah storage is...my question is: do you run the aircon directly off solar in, via the batteries; but not at night or in cloudy weather when you would quickly run down the batteries?
Looks great...We are not too far from you,we have 2.5kw on roof and charges 5kwh battery before lunch....we have 750w aircon and can run during the day but will not last long over night on the battery...good plan on the aircon...particularly this week.

Can you run this in your caravan?
Hi Justin and Bec, do you need a build permit for shed house for living? I live in WA. Build permit for shed house for living is very much the same build normal house.
Hot water heater ?
Love the plug n play simplicity of the ecoflow kits . . . Still leaves me stuck on finding a complete video with absolutely 'every step' recorded to follow ( Were in a caravan now instead of a tent and we have 2 months to get it done to hit the road , everytime i go to buy @ecoflow we hit a brick wall at exactly what we need :/

Good little set up.. I believe you said 400w max solar which won't be enough to run the AC unit..if it was 4kw solar and 15kw batter then a good chance you could run it all through the night. Give this video a watch of a caravan battery set up to be off grid and run the AC all night long. kzread.info/dash/bejne/dmt3yKSdaM2-htY.html
