Ecoflow Delta2 vs DIY Battery

Today I would like to compare how well these battery boxes perform compared to a homemade project, at least on paper. And also look at the advantages and disadvantages, not ignoring the cost side. We will compare the high-quality components with a similarly equipped Ecoflow Delta2, which we have already presented here. For the comparison, I only choose really good components, those that I would currently use for a DIY project myself. Here's my selection of components, I'm already excited! The power supply in the touring vehicle. A DIY project vs an Ecoflow Delta2 - which battery or power supply is better? 12v charger Victron Orion-Tr 12/24-10 240W for charging from the alternator 125 USD, 1.5 kg weight EDECOA 2000w inverter 12v 230v voltage converter or inverter 300 USD, 4.0kg weight 2 x solar charge controller MPPT 75/15 Victron Energy 12V 15A 200 USD, 1 kg weight Shore power charger Victron Energy 230V , 12 V/30A-3 220 USD, 1.4 kg weight 100Ah LiFePO4 battery ECO-WORTHY 1

Finding the Perfect Portable Power Solution: A Comprehensive Comparison

Introduction: Are you constantly on the go and in need of a reliable portable power pack? Look no further! In this article, we have conducted an extensive analysis and comparison of various battery boxes and power stations to help you find the perfect portable power solution. Whether you're a frequent traveler, an outdoor enthusiast, or someone who values preparedness for emergencies, we have gathered all the essential information you need to make an informed decision.

The Silk Road in a VW Grand California

Today, we are once again showcasing BAGALUT, who are traveling the Silk Road in a VW Grand California motorhome and have now arrived in Malaysia. Their route took them through Russia, Mongolia, China, Laos, and Thailand, among other countries. There are quite a few voices that convincingly argue that this route is impossible due to entry restrictions in Russia and the entry of motorhomes into Thailand. It's always refreshing to see travelers demonstrate that it is indeed possible (and report on it). In my eyes, a nice vlog that the travelers have put together. Nevertheless, after 11 months at the end of the Silk Road, the vlog only has 1,720 subscribers, with many videos getting 1,400 views, and three "outliers" with 8,500 views. This is roughly in line with the numbers of other travelers ; you can only reap the rewards if the travel time is longer, or if you already have a significant number of subscribers at the start of the journey. So, let's stay curious about ho

Diesel vs Gasoline for an worldtrip?

Modern vehicles need cleaner fuel. We did see severall travellers got stranded, by using mordern diesel or gasoline vehicles. It doenst happens a lot, because we travellers often use older vehicles, because of the costs of a brand new car and because an older car is probably easer to repair. Between 2009 and 2017 there was a lot of problems specially too with diesel vehicles. They was prefered, because of the fuel usage and range for many years. Specially the US travelleres did start to switch to gasoline vehicles, while european travellers did remove the exhaust cleaning system DPF (diesel particulate filter). Today at 2021 a lot has changed in the world. Even in the 2nd and 3rd world the emission standard has gained up for newly sold vehicles. And the standard fuel quality is better too. Let us show how the developement of the fuel quality worldwide: Even in Afria or in central or south america the rich ones like to drive modern vehicles, so you buy the necessary fuel too worldwide

Offroad self recovery: Waffle board and recovery tracks comparison

The Overland Journal did test severall Waffleboards and Sandladders at 2009. On the Expeditionsportal the Article is offline today - but the Youtube Video is still there. 12 Years later are many new player on the market - and most Travelers did choose those waffle boards today. Maxtrax, Tred, Aldi - and a lot cheap clones are on the market. Here is the Video of some guys who try to abuse those recovery tracks and waffle boards. They Video gives a good idea about the quality of those recovery boards. We travellers usually dont abuse our material that strong. We just want some recovery help in deep sand or mud - where most of those devices would be helpful. The Video shows us, that the more expensive recovery boards are stronger and will serve us longer. Specially the Maxtrax, Maxtrax pro and Tred Pro did a fantastic job there. It is up to you what to choose! If you like some more offroad action during your travels, we would strongly suggest a set of Maxtrax or Tred Pro: You can fin
